Текст песни Mr Innocent (Morten Abel) с переводом

I write to you this letter, you’ll get it in the mail

I hope that you’re not tired of my letters sent from jail

I spent twenty years in prison for a crime I did not do

But no one do believe that I am innocent, but you

I’ve never hurt nobody

And that’s the truth I swear

Someone says they saw me on the scene

But I wasn’t even near

An officer was shot to death

By machine gun fire

It’s almost twenty years ago

And they still call me a liar

This is a nightmare it really is

I just hope down the line that there is some justice

Help me God if you are up there

I really didn’t shoot that guy, I swear

The judge and the jury, they didn’t even look at me

I didn’t have a lawyer, no defence, see

Let them all feel the wrath of your power

I pay with my young life, cos

They are cowards

They are cowards

So I write to you my darling

So that you can bring it on

And prove to them my innocence

After I’m gone

Only before God can I confess without shame

A killer is out there in the streets

And I got all the blame

Can I trust you to see that these words

Are written on my stone

Don’t bother with my name

Because I’d rather be unknown

«Here lies Mr. Innocent who never shed a tear»

You wanted his young life, now enjoy your dinner

La la la la la la la la la la

Thank you and goodnight, people of the land

The system failed for an innocent man

I was 14, not yet been with a woman

Now I’m 34 and I still haven’t been with one

To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain

They didn’t want me to carry their name

Now I’m just a number, a number in chains

Live my life in shame

Thank you and goodnight, people of the land

The system failed for an innocent man

I was 14, not yet been with a woman

Now I’m 34 and I still haven’t been with one

To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain

They didn’t want me to carry their name

Now I’m just a number, a number in chains

Live my life in shame

In shame

In shame
