Lyrics & Translation

[English]

come on oh sorry so Stewie Griffin

invented a time machine

[Music]

that's room

hello Stewie you don't realize it yet

but your life is about to cease to exist

what are you talking about I am gonna

kill one of your ancestors effectively

erasing you from history here play with

this at least you can spend your final

moments doing something you enjoy you

know it's funny I had actually stopped

playing with that toy but now that I see

you with it I kind of want to play with

it again look at me I'm mowing the lawn

what the hell's all that noise I am it

was Bertram he's gone into the past and

he claims he's going to Stewie what's

going on

what was that

[Music]

but ryeom into the time machine Stewie

what the hell was that

those were ripples in time Brian

emanating from some point in the past

and has only one explanation

Bertram told me he planned to kill one

of my ancestors

he must have succeeded thereby changing

the past and erasing me but what does

that got to do I created the universe

Brian Bertram didn't know that by

removing me from history I wouldn't be

there to be accidentally thrown outside

the universe and subsequently created so

the universe never existed well we have

to stop him yes unfortunately Bertram

took the return pad with him

so we'll only get one shot at this ah

here it is now we'll have to travel back

in time to a point shortly before

Bertram survival but rarely Brian

[Music]

how long until Bertram arrives I can't

be certain but I'd say about 15 minutes

they do you think we are I don't know

looks like the Renaissance it does this

doesn't count as our trip to Italy try

look there's the Mona Lisa and it's

unfinished

we must be in Leonardo da Vinci's studio

quick someone's coming that must be

Leonardo da Vinci Stewie

looks just like you da Vinci must be my

ancestor good lord that's who Bertram's

here to kill so that means you're

Italian

of course my love for SpaghettiOs and

smoking on the toilet it all makes sense

you

[Music]

Key Grammar Structures

• hello Stewie you don't realize it yet but your life is about to cease to exist

  ➔ Present continuous for future meaning, modal verb 'to cease'

  ➔ The phrase 'is about to' indicates an action that will happen very soon. The use of 'cease to exist' is a formal way of saying 'die'. The structure 'you don't realize it yet' uses a negative statement to create dramatic tension.

• what are you talking about I am gonna kill one of your ancestors effectively erasing you from history

  ➔ Informal future ('gonna'), adverb 'effectively', gerund 'erasing'

  ➔ 'Gonna' is a colloquial contraction of 'going to', indicating future intention. 'Effectively' modifies the verb 'erasing', showing the result of the action. 'Erasing' functions as a gerund, acting as the object of the verb 'effectively'.

• look at me I'm mowing the lawn

  ➔ Imperative ('look'), present continuous for action in progress

  ➔ The imperative 'look' is a direct command. 'I'm mowing the lawn' uses the present continuous to describe an action happening *right now*.

• but what does that got to do I created the universe

  ➔ Informal phrasing ('got to do'), simple past tense, declarative statement

  ➔ The phrase 'what does that got to do' is a colloquial way of asking 'what is the relevance of that?'. The statement 'I created the universe' is a hyperbolic and dramatic claim.
