Verse 1

I lie to you if I tell you that I don't want to see that mole again

I suppose that I'm not the only one that knows well where it is

Let's cover our eyes and turn off those lights once and for all

Try to make me lose myself in your body that I know backwards

Chorus 1

You are a snake that drowns me and doesn't let me even breathe

I want to unwrap myself, so that you know who I really am

Let's forget who each of us was with yesterday

If we feel like it, come on, come on, babe, please, once and for all

That you embrace me in those arms

Tell me that the bad is going to pass

And in your worst moments

I promise you that I'll also be there

Verse 2

You are dangerous like the tide and the waves of the sea

Any man who is with you in this life you're going to hurt

The opportunity to be together is gone, I think that it will never return

But the connection that we have, don't deny, I know that it's still there

Chorus 2

You are a snake that drowns me and doesn't let me even breathe

I want to unwrap myself, so that you know who I really am

Let's forget who each of us was with yesterday

If we feel like it, come on, come on, babe, please, once and for all

That you embrace me in those arms

Tell me that the bad is going to pass

And in your worst moments

I promise you that I'll also be there

serpiente — snake

Serpiente literally translates to "snake". It's a powerful and intense word used here as a metaphor for a dangerous and seductive lover.

In the song, Junior H sings, "Tú eres una serpiente que me ahoga" (You are a snake that chokes me). He uses this striking image to describe a person who is both intoxicatingly attractive and suffocating, capturing the complex and toxic nature of their relationship. This metaphor is the central theme of the entire song.

Junior H gets straight to the point in "SERPIENTE"—this is about a connection that's both irresistible and completely toxic. He's drawn back to someone he knows is bad for him, comparing her to a snake that's choking him: "Tú eres una serpiente que me ahoga y que no me deja ni respirar" (You are a snake that chokes me and doesn't even let me breathe). He knows they have no real future, admitting "La oportunidad de estar juntos se fue, creo que nunca volverá" (The opportunity to be together is gone, I think it will never come back).

Despite knowing how dangerous she is, he can't stay away. The song is a push-and-pull between recognizing the danger and giving in to the intense physical and emotional bond they share. One moment he's asking to forget their pasts and just act on their desire, and the next he's promising to be there for her in her worst moments. It's a complicated, messy situation about a love that feels both like a safe harbor and a deadly trap at the same time.
