Lyrics
Hay hombres que luchan un dÃa
Y son buenos
Hay otros que luchan un año
Y son mejores
Hay quienes luchan muchos años
Y son muy buenos
Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida
Esos son los imprescindibles
Bertolt brecht
Sueño con serpientes, con serpientes de mar
Con cierto mar, ay, de serpientes sueño yo
Largas, transparentes, y en sus barrigas llevan
Lo que puedan arrebatarle al amor
Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión
No quepo en su boca, me trata de tragar
Pero se atora con un trÃ(c)bol de mi sien
Creo que está loca, le doy de masticar
Una paloma y la enveneno de mi bien
Ã^sta al fin me engulle, y mientras por su esófago
Paseo, voy pensando en qué vendrá
Pero se destruye cuando llego a su estómago
Y planteo con un verso una verdad
Lyrics translation
There are men who fight one day
And they're good
There are others who fight a year
And they're better
There are those who fight many years
And they're very good
But there are those who fight all their lives
Those are the essentials
Bertolt brecht
Dream of snakes, with sea snakes
With a certain sea, alas, of serpents I dreamt
Long, transparent, and on their bellies they wear
What they can snatch from Love
Oh, I kill her and a major one comes along.
Oh, with much more hell in digestion
I don't fit in his mouth, he tries to swallow me
But it is stuck with a tra (C) bowl of my temple
I think she's crazy, I give her chewing
A dove and I poison it for my own good
He at last swallowed me, and while through his esophagus
Walk, I'm thinking about what will come¡
But it is destroyed when it reaches its core
And I raise with a verse a truth
