Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ah!

Ah!

Harry, what is it?

Get back to the Cup!

Who are you? What do you want?

Kill the spare.

Avada Kedavra!

No!

Cedric!

Do it now.

Bone of the father,

unwillingly given.

Flesh of the servant

willingly sacrificed.

Blood of the enemy...

forcibly taken.

The Dark Lord

shall rise

again.

My wand, Wormtail.

Hold out your arm.

Master.

Thank you, master.

The other arm, Wormtail.

Welcome, my friends.

Thirteen years it's been.

And yet

here you stand before me

as though it were only yesterday.

I confess myself...

disappointed.

Not one of you tried to find me.

Crabbe!

McNair!

Goyle!

Not even you...

Lucius.

My lord, had I detected any sign

or whisper of your whereabouts.

There were signs, my slippery friend.

And more than whispers.

I assure you, my lord,

I have never renounced the old ways.

The face that I have been obliged

to present each day since your absence.

That is my true mask.

I returned.

Out of fear,

not loyalty.

Still, you have proved yourself useful

these past few months, Wormtail.

Thank you, master.

Thank you.

Oh...

such a handsome boy.

[Harry] Don't touch him!

Harry.

Oh, I'd almost forgotten you were here,

standing on the bones of my father.

I'd introduce you, but word has it

you're almost as famous as me these days.

The Boy Who Lived.

How lies have fed your legend, Harry.

Shall I reveal what really happened

that night thirteen years ago?

Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers?

It was love.

You see when dear sweet Lily Potter

gave her life for her only son,

she provided the ultimate protection.

I could not touch him.

It was old magic.

Something I should have foreseen.

But no matter, no matter.

Things have changed.

I can touch you...

now.

Astonishing what a few drops

of your blood will do, eh, Harry?

Pick up your wand, Potter!

I said, pick it up.

Get up! Get up!

You've been taught how to duel, I presume.

Yes?

First, we bow to each other.

Come on now, Harry.

The niceties must be observed.

Dumbledore wouldn't want you to

forget your manners, would he?

I said,

"bow!"

That's better.

And now...

Crucio!

Crucio!

Atta boy, Harry.

Your parents would be proud.

Especially your filthy Muggle mother.

Expelliarmus!

I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter.

I'm going to destroy you.

After tonight,

no one will ever again

question my powers.

After tonight,

if they speak of you

they'll speak only of how you

begged for death.

And I, being a merciful lord,

obliged.

Get up!

Don't you turn your back on me, Harry Potter.

I want you to look at me when I kill you.

I want to see the light leave your eyes.

Have it your way.

[Voldemort] Avada Kedavra! [Harry] Expelliarmus!

Do nothing!

He's mine to finish!

He's mine!

Harry, when the connection is broken

you must get to the Portkey.

We can linger for a moment

to give you some time,

but only a moment, do you understand?

Harry, take my body back, will you?

Take my body back to my father.

Let go.

Sweetheart, you're ready.

Let go.

Let go!
