Текст песни КиШ - Баллада о бедном цирюльнике

You will not find a terrible story, and there is no sadder ballad in the world,
What is this about the poor barber Todd, about his young beautiful wife - Betty.
About the young beautiful beauty Betty.
With a small daughter and Betty the beautiful, the barber was happy in a cozy house.
But once, returning home after the execution, the beauty was met by a lascivious judge!
The beauty was met by the lascivious judge.
The judge’s calculation was ruthlessly accurate; he concocted the case on false denunciations.
And now, separated from his wife and daughter, the poor barber was sent to penal servitude.
There was a poor barber on hard labor.
The bastard judge molested Betty while her husband was chained in iron.
And she rushed into the river at dawn, and a young body swam across the Thames.
And the young body swam across the Thames.
You will not find sad history: Neither in The Times, nor in any other daily newspaper,
What is this about the poor barber Todd, about his beautiful young wife Betty.
About his young beautiful wife. Oh young beautiful.
The narrator:
With hope in his heart and a razor in his pocket, innocently convicted Sweeney Todd
After twenty years of hard labor, he returns to his hometown.
And what? He learns that his wife committed suicide,
And the little daughter disappeared without a trace.
