Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Your attention, please.

Let the feast begin.

Wow.

I'm half and half.

Me dad's a Muggle,

Mam's a witch.

Bit of a nasty shock

for him when he found out.

Say, Percy.

Who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?

Oh, that's Professor Snape,

head of Slytherin house.

What's he teach?

Potions.

But everyone knows

it's the Dark Arts he fancies.

He's been after Quirrell's job for years.

Ah!

Hello!

How are you?

Welcome to Gryffindor.

Look, it's the Bloody Baron!

Hello, Sir Nicholas.

Have a nice summer?

Dismal.

Once again, my request

to join the Headless Hunt has been denied.

I know you.

You're Nearly Headless Nick.

I prefer Sir Nicholas, if you don't mind.

"Nearly Headless?"

How can you be nearly headless?

Like this.

Ah!

Gryffindors, follow me, please.

Keep up. Thank you.

Ravenclaw, follow me.

This way.

This is the most direct path to the dormitories.

Oh, and keep an eye on the staircases.

They like to change.

Keep up, please. And follow me.

Quickly now, come on.

Come on.

That picture's moving.

Look at that one, Harry.

Oh, look! Look!

Who's that girl?

[Painting] Welcome to Hogwarts.

Who's that?

Password?

Caput Draconis.

Wow!

Follow me, everyone.

Keep up.

Quickly, come on!

Gather round here.

Welcome to the Gryffindor common room.

Boys dormitories upstairs

and down to your left.

Girls, the same on your right.

You'll find all your belongings

have already been brought up.
