As I walked down the streets of our city, 
I, by chance, roughed up two passers-by.
The police were excited to see me:
At the station, I saw her and died.

I don’t know why she was at the station,
Must have come to receive her ID:
Young and stunning, a true inspiration,
And I tried to find out where she lived.

So, I followed her home to the lobby.
What to tell her? For I am a goon.
Had a few and I called my beloved
To one lavish and trendy saloon.

As we walked, every smile would get bigger,
I just wanted to scream and escape.
So, I damaged a guy’s pretty kisser
Just because he once winked at my babe.

There I ordered her caviar gladly,
Money flowed like a river, in vain.
The best songs I called up for my lady - 
In the end, I requested "The Cranes".

I made promises, strong and appealing,
And repeated them all through the night:
"For five days I desisted from stealing,
My beloved, my love at first sight!"

I complained that my life is ungainly,
Blew my nose and wiped tears from my eyes.
"I believe you, " she said to me plainly, 
"And I’ll give myself for a fair price."

Then I struck her, this white-faced sensation,
My blood boiling with anger and spite.
Now I knew why she was at this station,
My beloved, my love at first sight!
