(The subtitles say: “I dream of snakes, for those who fight all of their lives, those are the indispensable ones”)
Spanish Lyrics | English Lyrics |
Hay hombres que luchan un día 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, Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor. No quepo en su boca, me trata de tragar pero se atora con un trébol de mi sien. Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor. Ésta al fin me engulle, y mientras por su esófago paseo, Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor.

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 of their lives: those are the indispensable. (ones) Bertolt Brecht I dream of serpents, of sea serpents, of a certain sea, Oh, I slay it and a bigger one appears, I can’t fit in its mouth, as it tries to swallow me, but it gets stuck with a trefoil of my temple. Oh, I slay it and a bigger one appears, This one finally devours me and while I stroll down its esophagus, Oh, I slay it and a bigger one appears, |

Thank you for posting the lyrics to this song in English and Spanish>
It is one of my favorite songs and extremely inspiring.
GRACIAS!
I’m glad you found them useful!
I was thinking of changing the video to one from Silvio’s official YouTube channel, that doesn’t have the Bertolt Brecht quote at the start.
I think Silvio’s channel is newer than this post, and that’s why I didn’t use those videos before.
