Lyrics & Translation

[English]

WONG Don't cast that spell.

It's too dangerous.

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE Why?

We tampered with the stability of spacetime.

The Multiverse...

...is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.

MORDO Your desecration of reality...

...will not go unpunished.

♪♪

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE It was the only way.

But I never meant for any of this to happen.

♪♪

[Raven hisses]

[Birds chirping]

♪♪

[Shears snipping]

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE Wanda.

WANDA MAXIMOFF Well, I knew sooner or later

you'd show up.

I made mistakes and people were hurt.

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE I'm not here to talk about Westview.

WANDA MAXIMOFF Then what are you here for?

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE We need your help.

WANDA MAXIMOFF With what?

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE What do you know about the Multiverse?

♪♪

MORDO I'm sorry, Stephen.

I hope you understand.

The greatest threat to our universe...

...is you.

DR. STEPHEN STRANGE Things just got out of hand.

♪♪

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't cast that spell.

  ➔ Imperative mood, negative form

  ➔ The sentence is a direct command, telling someone *not* to do something. The auxiliary verb 'do' is implied in the negative imperative. 'Don't' is a contraction of 'do not'.

• We tampered with the stability of spacetime.

  ➔ Past Simple tense, transitive verb 'tampered'

  ➔ The verb 'tampered' indicates an action that was completed in the past. It's transitive, meaning it takes a direct object ('the stability of spacetime').

• Your desecration of reality...will not go unpunished.

  ➔ Gerund as subject, future simple with 'will' + negative + passive voice

  ➔ The phrase 'Your desecration of reality' functions as the subject of the sentence, using a gerund ('desecration'). The verb phrase 'will not go unpunished' is in the future simple tense, is negative, and is in the passive voice (meaning the subject *receives* the action).

• It was the only way.

  ➔ Past Simple with 'to be' as a linking verb, demonstrative pronoun 'the'

  ➔ The verb 'was' is a form of 'to be' and acts as a linking verb, connecting the subject 'It' to the predicate 'the only way'. 'The' specifies a particular way.
