I speak English, but natively... so I'm quite suprised youi don't know what damned means... but anywayz: I found the following website quite handy http://dictionary.reference.com/

What they came up with (amongst others in similar vein):

1. Sentenced to punishment in a future state; condemned; consigned to perdition.

Doomed so to speak.

Hope that helps.

IMO = In My Opinion

AMNESTY = Means that people in authority will not punish you for a crime that you have committed.

Hope that helps.

No, Amnesty means the authorities will lift the sentence they have given you. You must have been punished, before you can get amnesty. A pardon, if you will...

"What's done is done
For everyone
Come on baby let's start again
Right now
Amnesty is granted"

would, imo, boil down to

"Things happened between us
No one can change that
Please baby, let's try again
'Cause right now
All is forgiven"

Thanks for putting me straight.
