Unschuldsengel [English translation]

The knife at the throat, the noose around the neck

Give 1me your most beautiful smile, seductive and fake

You crawl into my soul, who's allowed you to?

And every one of your lies digs deeply, deeply into my skin

You are not an angel 2

Who made you?

(Innocent) angel, that's even darker than the night

(Innocent) angel, you have the devil in your body

You are not an angel

A happy wicked woman

The poison in your eyes, that which is in my blood

Pull me into your abyss

I know it all too well

You tell me the most beautiful fairy tale with murderous desire

The fire of your sins burns so deeply, deeply in my chest

You are not an angel

Who made you?

(Innocent) angel, that's even darker than the night

(Innocent) angel, you have the devil in your body

You are not an angel

A happy wicked woman

You are not an angel

You are not an angel

You are not an angel

You are not an angel

Who made you?

(Innocent) angel that's even darker than the night

(Innocent) angel you have the devil in your body

You are not an angel

A happy wicked woman

1. Schenk(en) means to give something as a gift. Give sounds better than "to gift" here though since it is an infrequently used English verb.2. Unschuldsengel sein is a German expression that means "to be an angel". This is an English expression too that is more understandable with the omission of the word "innocent" (hence the meaning of Unschuld). "To be an angel" means, to be innocent, not to be mischievous, showing exemplary conduct and be nearly a perfect human being. Since the person in this song is not an "angel", she does not display such characteristics, contrary to what she likely believes.
