"Der Hölle Rache" is an aria from Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, which is sung by the Queen of the Night where she demands her daughter Pamina to kill the high priest Sarastro and if she does not, she will disown and curse her. It is sung by Kenny McCormick in the Season Four episode, "Quintuplets 2000".

Lyrics (German)[]
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro
Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.
Verstossen sei auf ewig,
Verlassen sei auf ewig,
Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig
Alle Bande der Natur
Wenn nicht durch dich!
Sarastro wird erblassen!
Hört, Rachegötter,
Hört der Mutter Schwur!
English Translation[]
Hell's vengeance boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame around me!
If Sarastro does not feel the pain of death through you,
then you will never be my daughter again.
Be banished forever,
be abandoned forever,
be shattered forever
all the bonds of nature
if not through you!
Sarastro will turn pale!
Hear, gods of vengeance,
hear your mother's oath!
