Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should've seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded with caution with what foresight, with what "dissimulation" I went to work. I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.
Took me a long time to figure that out, but its not patience, its dissimulation - which means "to conceal the truth" - ie. that he's preparing to kill the old man.
Just a small correction to the lyrics:
