Lyrics & Translation

[English]

either we finish them or they'll finish

us it's the only way we'll be rid of

them if we find the nest and destroy it

the dragons will leave they'll find

another home one more search before the

ice sets in those ships never come back

we Vikings it's an occupational hazard

now who's with

me today's not good for

me all right those who stay will look

after hiccup I'm refed doing that's more

like

it right I'll pack my undies no I need

you to stay and train some new recruits

oh perfect yeah and and while I'm busy

hiccup can cover the stall molten steel

razor sharp blades lots of time to

himself what could possibly go wrong

what am I going to do with him Gober put

him in training with the others no I'm

serious so am I he'd be killed before

you let the first dragon out of its cage

oh you don't know that I do know that

actually don't no actually I do no you

don't listen you know what he's like

from the time he could crawl he's been

different he doesn't listen he has the

attention span of a

sparrow I take him fishing and he goes

hunting for for trolls Trolls Exist they

steal your socks but only the left ones

what what's with that when I was a boy

oh here we go my father told me to bang

my head against a rock and I did it I

thought it was crazy but I didn't

question him and you what happened you

got a headache that rock split in

two it taught me what a viking could do

Gober he could he could crush mountains

level Forest tame

Seas even as a boy I knew what I was

what I had to

become hiccup is not that boy you can't

stop him stoic you can only prepare him

I know it seems hopeless but the truth

is you won't always be around to protect

him he's going to get out there again

he's probably out there

now
