| La culebra tiene los ojos de vidrio |
| La culebra viene y se enreda en un palo |
| Con sus ojos de vidrio en un palo |
| Con sus ojos de vidrio |
| La culebra camina sin patas |
| La culebra se esconde en la yerba |
| Caminando se esconde en la yerba |
| Caminando sin patas |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Tú le das con el hacha y se muere |
| ¡Dale ya! |
| No le des con el pie que te muerde |
| No le des con el pie que se va |
| Sensemayá la culebra, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá con sus ojos, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá con su lengua, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá con su boca, sensemayá |
| La culebra muerta no puede comer |
| La culebra muerta no puede silbar |
| No puede caminar, no puede correr |
| La culebra muerta no puede mirar |
| La culebra muerta no puede beber |
| No puede respirar, no puede morder |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá la culebra |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá no se mueve |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá la culebra |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá la culebra |
| Mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá, se murió |
| (translation) |
| The snake has eyes of glass |
| The snake comes and gets entangled in a stick |
| With his glass eyes on a stick |
| With your glass eyes |
| The snake walks without legs |
| The snake hides in the grass |
| Walking he hides in the grass |
| walking without legs |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| You hit him with the ax and he dies |
| Do it! |
| Don't hit it with the foot that bites you |
| Don't give him the foot that goes away |
| Sensemayá the snake, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá with your eyes, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá with your tongue, sensemayá |
| Sensemayá with your mouth, sensemayá |
| The dead snake can not eat |
| The dead snake cannot hiss |
| Can't walk, can't run |
| The dead snake cannot look |
| The dead snake cannot drink |
| Can't breathe, can't bite |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá the snake |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá does not move |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá the snake |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá the snake |
| mayombé bombé, mayombé |
| Sensemayá, he died |
