Translation:
Goodbye my dear old mom
Goodbye to you old pop
Goodbye to my brothers and sisters
My mistake was expensive
I was sentenced for the balance of my life
To sit behind these prision bars

I rolled the dice, I made a mistake
I had a hard head, I went back to my evil ways
And now I'll spend the balance of my life
Behind these prison bars

My poor old mom was put on her knees
With her head in her hands weeping for me
Saying poor boy, I'll never see you again
But now you've been condemned
To spend the rest of your life
Behind those prison bars

I said dear mom, don't cry for me
You should pray for your child
To try to save his soul
From the flames of Hell
