Dans une atmosphère intrigante, l'histoire raconte comment un homme découvre que le diable a été capturé et est emprisonné dans une petite ville. Au fil de sa balade nocturne, il croise une voisine qui, visiblement perturbée, lui révèle la nouvelle incroyable. Alors qu'il rentre chez lui, il ressent une certaine anxiété à l'idée de cette situation étrange. Le lendemain, il se rend compte que le diable a disparu et que le geôlier, qui était un homme pauvre, semble désormais riche à cause d'une mystérieuse fortune. Le morceau capture l'essence de contes populaires, mêlant superstition et la curiosité humaine face à l'inexplicable. L'ambiance de la chanson reflète un mélange de mystère et d'humour, jouant sur des thèmes de morale et de chance.
