13 Years Hard Time For Love - The Gavinners Lyrics
I translated/localized lyrics for “Guilty Love” and “13 Years Hard Time for Love” because I found the latter on Spotify (why isn’t anyone talking about it) and fit it back into the melody! And here is Klavier's VA singing it on YouTube:
The dance floor where the rock’n’roll was playing
Was the crime scene where I first met you
I was taken prisoner by your heated eyes
I fell in love, so!
You have committed the perfect crime
Your gun loaded with magnum bullets shot me down
Breaking my heart (bang bang) into pieces!
That’s a criminal possession of firearms!
(Hard time for love, yeah)
Now at last we find our sentence won’t be suspended
So, lets jump right in
To the prison of love that no key can open
(Hard time for love, yeah)
Attempted? Accidental? Or willful negligence
I can’t quit it now
We’re model prisoners repeating our crimes
That rock ballad we used to play now haunts me
At the crime scene where I lost you
The tears that welled in your mischievous eyes told me
Our love was over, so!
Our perfect crime comes tumbling down
The hammer you brought down with all of your might
Struck my poor heart (gang gang) into pieces!
Isn’t that criminal property damage, though?
(Hard time for love, yeah)
The statute of limitations have been abolished
So, lets run away
Using the jailbreak plans I made for us
(Hard time for love, yeah)
Innocent or guilty? What to make of this love of mine?
I’ve made up my mind
We are accomplices racking up crimes
Ah, hate only the sin, not the sinner
As for me, well…
Just one more time, bitte
Can’t you dismiss me of all charges?
[spoken] Let me just ask you one last time…
Can’t you dismiss me of all charges?
(Hard time for love, yeah)
Now at last we find our sentence won’t be suspended
So, let’s jump right in
To the prison of love that no key can open
(Hard time for love, yeah)
Innocent or guilty? What to make of this love of mine?
I’ve made up my mind!
We are two accomplices racking up crimes
(Hard time for love, yeah) 13 years
(Hard time for love, yeah) 13 years
(Hard time for love, yeah) 13 years
(Hard time for love, yeah) 13 years
And I'll post a fixed-up version of Guilty Love once I get the German ironed out (I don't speak German). More translators notes below! I may lose my mind!!
