Lyrics & Translation

[English]

[Music]

stay close

[Music]

what happened here

alrighty easy bud

pick up

[Music]

[Applause]

is that what i think it is

[Applause]

[Music]

that is a night fury

thought they were all gone for good

looks like our luck's had a turn for the

better lads don't think drago has one of

those

in his dragon army dragon army

look we don't want any trouble

you should have thought of that before

you stole all of our dragons and blasted

our fort to bits

wait

what are you talking about you think we

did this

dragon trapping is hard enough work as

it is without duke of the dragon riders

sneaking in to rescue them what do good

or

there are other dragon riders you mean

other than your thieving friend from

last night you tell me

you may have a nice spitting dragon on

your side but we still have a quota to

fill

how do you suppose we explain this

master drago blood vest drago what fist

does anything you say makes sense he's

expecting a new shipment of dragons for

his army by tomorrow and drago don't

take well to excuses

this is what he gave me last time i

showed up empty-handed

he promised to be far less understanding

in the future

all right look we don't know anything

about a dragon thief or an ice spitting

dragon or

your lunatic boss and his dragon army

okay just give us back our dragon and

we'll go

strange hostile person whom we've never

met oh where are my manners

i'm eric

son of eric

finest dragon trapper alive

after all

it's not just anyone who can capture a

night fury

and this is toothless he says we're

going

now

they all say that

russian lads

[Music]

you will never hold on to those dragons

you hear me

drago is coming for them all

[Music]

[Music]

Key Grammar Structures

• looks like our luck's had a turn for the better lads

  ➔ Contraction & Possessive 's

  ➔ The phrase uses a contraction ('luck's' for 'luck has') and the possessive 's' to indicate that the luck *belongs* to the group ('lads'). It's a colloquial expression.

• you may have a nice spitting dragon on your side

  ➔ Modal Verb + Perfect Infinitive

  ➔ "may have" expresses possibility in the past. The structure 'have + past participle (spitting)' forms the perfect infinitive, indicating an action completed before the present moment.

• you tell me

  ➔ Imperative with implied subject

  ➔ This is a common way to ask someone to explain something. The implied subject is 'you'. It's a more direct and informal way of saying 'Tell me'.

• you may have a nice spitting dragon on your side but we still have a quota to fill

  ➔ Conjunction 'but' introducing contrast

  ➔ The conjunction 'but' signals a contrast between the other side having a dragon and 'we' still needing to meet a requirement ('quota').
