Sueño Con Serpientes

Dream of Snakes

Sueño Con Serpientes

There are men who fight for a dayHay hombres que luchan un día
And they are goodY son buenos
There are others who fight for a yearHay otros que luchan un año
And they are betterY son mejores
There are those who fight many yearsHay quienes luchan muchos años
And they are very goodY son muy buenos
But there are those who fight all their livesPero hay los que luchan toda la vida
Those are the indispensableEsos son los imprescindibles
Bertolt BrechtBertolt Brecht

I dream of snakesSueño con serpientes
Of sea snakesCon serpientes de mar
Of a certain sea, oh, of snakes, I dreamCon cierto mar, ay, de serpientes, sueño yo

Long, transparentLargas, transparentes
And in their bellies they carryY en sus barrigas llevan
Whatever they can snatch from loveLo que puedan arrebatarle al amor

Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
I kill her and a bigger one appearsLa mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
With much more hell in digestionCon mucho más infierno en digestión

I don't fit in her mouthNo quepo en su boca
She tries to swallow meMe trata de tragar
But gets stuck with a clover from my templePero se atora con un trébol de mi sien

I think she's crazyCreo que está loca
I give her to chew on a doveLe doy de masticar una paloma
And poison her with my kindnessY la enveneno de mi bien

Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
I kill her and a bigger one appearsLa mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
With much more hell in digestionCon mucho más infierno en digestión

Finally she swallows meEsta al fin me engulle
And as I walk through her esophagusY mientras por su esófago paseo
I wonder what will comeVoy pensando en qué vendrá

But she destroys herselfPero se destruye
When I reach her stomachCuando llego a su estómago
And I propose, with a verse, a truthY planteo, con un verso, una verdad

Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
I kill her and a bigger one appearsLa mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
With much more hell in digestionCon mucho más infierno en digestión

Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
I kill her and a bigger one appearsLa mato y aparece una mayor
