Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Culebra by Eliades Ochoa from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A bailar, a gozar, en casa de Pedro el Cojo
To dance, to enjoy, in the house of Pedro el Cojo
Vamos a comerno' un macho
Let's eat a male
En casa de Pedro el Cojo
At Peter the Lame's house
A comer ñame con mojo
To eat yams with mojo
Y a divertirnos un rato
And have some fun
Cuando a mí me lo dijeron
when they told me
Yo no quería venir
I didn't want to come
Me tuvieron que advertir

Que allí el son es majadero
That there the sound is stupid
Fue cuando me decidí
It was when I decided
Y acepté la invitación
And I accepted the invitation
Y pude bailar el son
And I was able to dance the sound
Que se toca por aquí
What is played here
Fue cuando me decidí
It was when I decided
Y acepte la invitación
and accept the invitation
Y pude bailar el son
And I was able to dance the sound
Que se toca por aquí
What is played here
Y aunque estoy en la manigua
And although I'm in the bush
Eso no me causa enojo

Conocía Pedro el Cojo

En esta playa de Cigua
