about

Some years ago, Draco and the Malfoys recorded "99 Death Eaters" which was a parody of an Americanized pop song, which had been translated from it's German original. The German version got some airplay in the US, but the English translation was infinitely more popular. We thought we would continue the joke by offering the DatM parody in it's "original" German. This translation by our filking friend Katy Dröge-Macdonald.

German Lyrics by
Katy Dröge-Macdonald

Du und ich im Zauberladen
Schokofrösche wollen wir haben
Lass sie frei, sie leben nicht lang
Nur einen Hops, dann sind sie dran
Ich krieg ein komisches Gefühl
Etwas Finsteres ist im Spiel
Unter dunklen Wolkendecken
Sich 99 Todesser verstecken

99 Todesser, unter dunklen Wolkendecken
Das Ministerium schlägt Alarm
Hier ist was faul und zum Erschrecken
Auroren werden alle wach
Und Moody öffnet gar sein Auge
Und blickt sehr angestrengt nach oben
Denn 99 Todesser sind dort droben.

In der Strasse der Entscheidung
sich 99 Herren treffen
In großer Sorge, großer Hast.
Dementoren kommen angerast.
Darauf haben wir gewartet
Das ist es, Jungs, jetzt gibt es Krieg
Cornelius Fudge am Telefon
und 99 Todesser wollen den Sieg

99 Himmelsritter
reiten ihre Feuerblitze
Jeder ist ein Superheld
Jeder ist ein Ludo Bagman
Das Ziel ist: identifizieren
abklären, klassifizieren
Was für'n Gedränge und Gewimmel
Mit 99 Todessern am Himmel
99 Todesser am Himmel

99 dunkle Träume
Das Dunkle Mal schwebt in der Nacht
Es ist vorbei, ich stehe aufrecht
In den Ruinen dieser Stadt
Ach, könnt ich nur beweisen dass hier
Magie regiert hat lange Zeit
Sieh her, hier ist ein Schokofrosch
Ich denk an dich und lass' ihn frei.


and Katy's translation of the German in to English:

You and I in the magic shop
Chocolate frogs is what we want
Set them free, they don't live long
Only one hop and then they're done
I get a strange feeling
Something dark and evil is involved
And under dark cloudy skies
99 death eaters hide

99 death eaters under dark and cloudy skies
The ministry calls red alert
Something's fishy and scary
The aurors have all awakened
And even Moody opens his eye
And looks intently to the above
Because there are 99 death eaters up there.

On decision street
99 men meet
They're very worried and in a big hurry,
Dementors are coming very fast
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, there will be war,
Cornelius Fudge on the telephone
and 99 death eaters want the victory

99 sky knights
ride on their firebolts
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Ludo Bagman
The goal is to identify
clarify and classify
What a crowd and what a swarming
With 99 death eaters in the sky
99 death eaters in the sky

99 dark dreams
The Dark Mark floats in the nightsky
It is over and I stand upright
In the ruins of this city
Oh, if I could only prove that
magic reigned here for a long time
Look, here is a chocolate frog.
I think of you and set it free.
