Dreaming of Snakes (feat. Mercedes Sosa)

Sueño Con Serpientes (part. Mercedes Sosa)

There are men who fight for a day and are goodHay hombres que luchan un día y son buenos
There are others who fight for a year and are betterHay otros que luchan un año y son mejores
There are those who fight for many years and are very goodHay quienes luchan muchos años y son muy buenos
But there are those who fight all their livesPero hay los que luchan toda la vida
Those are the essential onesEsos son los imprescindibles

I dream of snakes, of sea snakesSueño con serpientes, con serpientes de mar
With a certain sea, oh, of snakes I dreamCon cierto mar, ay, de serpientes sueño yo
Long, transparent, and in their bellies they carryLargas, transparentes, y en sus barrigas llevan
Whatever they can snatch from loveLo que puedam arrebatarle al amor

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appearsOh, la mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, with much more hell in digestionOh, con mucho más infierno en digestión

I don't fit in her mouth, she tries to swallow meNo quepo en su boca, me trata de tragar
But she chokes on a clover from my templePero se atora con un trébol de mi sien
I think she's crazy: I give her to chew on a dove and poison her with my kindnessCreo que está loca: Le doy de masticar una paloma e la enveneno de mi bien

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appearsOh, la mato y aparece una mayor

This snake swallows me, and while through her esophagusEsta afin me enguye, y mientras por su esofago
I walk, I think about what will comePaseo, voy pensando en qué vendrá
But she destroys herself when I reach her stomachPero se destruye cuando llego a su estomago
And I pose a truth with a verseY planteo con un verso una verdad

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appearsOh, la mato y aparece una mayor
