Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ojo De Culebra by Lila Downs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tu cuerpo va cargando cadenas
Your body is carrying chains
Cadenas de todos los tiempos
Chains of all times
Ciruelo ojo de culebra, tu frente
Snake-eye plum, your forehead
Que en el rostro porta tus penas
That carries your sorrows on your face
Alíviame de la mala palabra
Relieve me from the bad word
La sombra de tu pensamiento, tu
The shadow of your thought, your
Labio, pon tu mano en mi tiempo
Lip, put your hand on my time
Liberando con tu beso mi condena
Releasing my sentence with your kiss
Se me cae, se me cae como a la culebra
I fall, I fall like a snake
Yo lo tiro, yo lo tiro todo este rencor
I throw it away, I throw it away all this resentment
Se me cae, se me cae esas falsedades
I drop, I drop those falsehoods
Así yo me limpio también del dolor
This is how I also cleanse myself of pain
Dame tu boca tu palabra retumba, viento de noviembre
Give me your mouth your word resounds, November wind
Que arrastra tu piel
that drags your skin
Dame tu mano que en tu brazo me muevo
Give me your hand because in your arm I move
Siémbrame en el suelo donde esta tu merced
Plant me in the ground where your mercy is
Óyelo, mi madre
Hear it, my mother
Óyelo, mi hermana
Hear it, my sister
Óyelo, este hijo de mis entrañas
Hear him, this son of my loins
