Sueño Con Serpientes (part. Mercedes Sosa)

Milton Nascimento Milton Nascimento

Dreaming of Snakes (feat. Mercedes Sosa)

There are men who fight for a day and are good
There are others who fight for a year and are better
There are those who fight for many years and are very good
But there are those who fight all their lives
Those are the essential ones

I dream of snakes, of sea snakes
With a certain sea, oh, of snakes I dream
Long, transparent, and in their bellies they carry
Whatever they can snatch from love

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appears
Oh, with much more hell in digestion

I don't fit in her mouth, she tries to swallow me
But she chokes on a clover from my temple
I think she's crazy: I give her to chew on a dove and poison her with my kindness

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appears

This snake swallows me, and while through her esophagus
I walk, I think about what will come
But she destroys herself when I reach her stomach
And I pose a truth with a verse

Oh, I kill her and a bigger one appears
