Mi papá me contó de cuando era niño
De cuando era niño mi papá me contó:
“Una bestia atacó y con el pueblo acabó”,
Hoy volvió a suceder, tomamos el traslador.
¿Qué fue lo que sucedió?, no me quiero esconder,
no me quiero esconder, quiero volar otra vez
Dicen que un hombre lobo atacó y a mi mamá se llevó
Al amanecer vi a mi papá enloquecer
De pueblo en pueblo, una vez por mes,
yo buscaba un lugar, una persona encontrar.
Un brujo debía hacer la bestia adormecer.
El hombre lobo atacó al anochecer.
¿Qué quieren de mí? No tengo qué ofrecer.
Destruí a mi papá y a mi mamá también.
No hay una solución, quien huye soy yo.
Corran todos por favor, porque la bestia soy yo.

THE BEAST
My dad told me about when he was a kid
When he was a child my dad told me:
"A beast attacked and with the town it ended",
Today it happened again, we took the Portkey.
What happened? I don't want to hide
I don't want to hide, I want to fly again
They say a werewolf attacked and took my mom
At dawn... I saw my dad go crazy
From town to town, once a month,
I was looking for a place, a person to find.
A sorcerer had to put the beast to sleep.
The werewolf attacked at dusk.
What do you want from me? I have nothing to offer.
I’ve destroyed my dad and my mom too.
There is no solution, I am the one who runs away.
Everyone run please, because the beast is me.
