Lyrics of La Serpiente - Bersuit Vergarabat

La Serpiente (original)

No me tengo que dejar encantar por la serpiente
Ni dejarme hipnotizar por sus palabras urgentes
Y tengo que repetir mientras la miro a los ojos
Que no me va a persuadir, hoy no quedare a su antojo
Es difícil escapar de su lengua hechizada
Que promete la mitad y después no te da nada
Porque no siente piedad cuando tiene un objetivo
Y hoy la pienso desafiar aunque me sienta perdido
Cuando te dice que si te quiere decir que no
Cuando dice que te quiere decir adiós
Si el amor es un milagro y la paz una paloma
Yo recuerdo aquellos años cuando estabas en la lona
Y en el ringside de la vida si no hay códigos no hay nada
Y hasta el banquito te sacan cuando suena la campana
Cuando te dice que si te quiere decir que no
Cuando dice que te quiere decir adiós
Cuando te dice que si te quiere decir que no
Cuando dice que te quiere decir adiós…

(translation)

I don't have to let myself be enchanted by the snake
Nor let myself be hypnotized by his urgent words
And I have to repeat while I look into her eyes
That she is not going to persuade me, today I will not be at her whim
It's hard to escape your spellbound tongue
That she promises half and then she doesn't give you anything
'Cause she feels no mercy when she has a goal
And today I plan to challenge her even if she feels lost
When she tells you yes she wants to tell you no
When she says she wants to say goodbye to you
If love is a miracle and peace is a dove
I remember those years when you were on the mat
And in the ringside of life if there are no codes there is nothing
And they even take you out when the bell rings
When she tells you yes she wants to tell you no
When she says she wants to say goodbye to you
When she tells you yes she wants to tell you no
When she says that she wants to say goodbye to you…
