[English]

Take your weapon, sharpen your knife

Get ready for action

A detailed plan

A coordinated action

The strike will be tomorrow

You know nothing

You're scared

You risk it all without hope

Throughout your life you felt small

Unable to win

Throughout your life you felt small

You feel like you're going to give up

At dawn and at dusk

The crime begins

You know you're going to succeed

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

...

The system has destroyed you

It's too late to give up

You feel like you're going to explode

And you can't do anything

You only know that you like to kill

And you live to do it

Throughout your life you felt small

Unable to win

Throughout your life you felt small

You feel like you're going to give up

At dawn and at dusk

The crime begins

You know you're going to succeed

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

...

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

...

[Spanish]

Toma tu arma, afila tu navaja

Prepárate para la acción

Un plan detallado

Una acción concertada

Será mañana el golpe

No sabes nada

Estás asustado

Te arriesgas sin esperanza

Durante tu vida te sentiste pequeño

Incapaz de ganar

Durante tu vida te sentiste pequeño

Sientes que vas a renunciar

En el alba y la caída

Empieza el crimen

Sabes que vas a triunfar

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

El sistema te ha destruido

Es tarde para renunciar

Sientes que vas a estallar

Y no puedes hacer nada

Solo sabes que te gusta matar

Y vives para hacerlo

Durante tu vida te sentiste pequeño

Incapaz de ganar

Durante tu vida te sentiste pequeño

Sientes que vas a renunciar

En el alba y la caída

Empieza el crimen

Sabes que vas a triunfar

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers

Killers, killers
