Кобра (Kobra) Lyrics in English The Hardkiss (The Hardkiss) , MONATIK
Кобра (Kobra) directly translates to "cobra" in English. It's an intriguing and somewhat exotic word that immediately grabs attention, especially given its association with danger and allure.
In the context of the song, the cobra is a central metaphor for a captivating yet perilous woman. The lyrics describe her as both "ніжна, грізна" (tender, formidable) and "танцює на ножах" (dancing on knives), embodying the dual nature of the snake: beautiful but deadly. This makes the word highly evocative and central to understanding the song's theme.
"Kobra" uses the image of a cobra to talk about a woman who is dangerous and irresistible at the same time. The song opens with a warning: stay home, avoid her, fear the storm and the dark water — she is trouble, even while she looks soft and hurt underneath.
The chorus turns that warning into a kind of spell: when a cobra is in love, she never sleeps. She is gentle and fierce in the same breath, already dancing on knives before anyone notices the danger.
The second half of the song looks back at what she has been through — sharpening daggers with no remorse, unable to run from love even though loving her isn't safe, hiding a dark truth behind a bright surface. It ends back on the same warning it started with: remember this, because a cobra in love is beautiful, dangerous, and awake.
