Barrabás

In the depths of a cold cell
It was me and loneliness
Joy had gone away
I awaited the hour of execution
Tears wetting my face
And reviewing my sins
I saw myself in a dead end
For throughout life I did everything wrong
Suffering there in despair
A soldier arrived, removed the chains, and said to me:
You will escape death
It's your lucky day, you can go
And he said go in peace
You have no reason to stay
Another person will die in your place

I was a criminal and he was without sin
I was being released and he was being condemned
I was malice and he was without malice
I was the lie and he was the truth
I was in full war and he brought me peace
He was Jesus Christ and I was Barrabas...
