Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh no.

You don't understand. He's not your

typical dad.

I can relate. I mean, I am half robot

after all.

Catch, daddy. Catch.

It's just I had a lot of issues growing

up.

Who had childhood issues? Um,

excuse me, but are you my mother?

Okay. Okay. Thanks. Anyway,

uh are you my mother?

Are you my mother?

Look, my father Trigon is

Trigon.

Trigon,

devourer of a million souls, conqueror

of countless worlds. Trigon is one of

the most powerful beings in the entire

universe. He is your father?

Yep. My dad is literally a demon who

feeds off the suffering of others.

Especially me.

Behold Trigon, master of the dark,

destroyer of dimensions, enslaver of

civilizations.

Enough with the resume, Dad.

[Music]

Hi, I'm Raven's father. You must be

Cyborg. Is that an upgraded optical

sensor?

Uh, yeah. Thanks for noticing. All

powerful, Trigon, sir.

Greetings. I am Starfire, your

daughter's best female friend within the

Teen Titans.

Young lady, these pale in comparison to

your beauty.

And the party animal himself, Beast Boy.

Guilty.

No introduction needed, boy. Wonder. The

honor is mine. How is your back?

It's fine. Why?

Thought it might be sore from carrying

Batman all these years.
