Have you ever loved a woman

who should be that little intruder

in the one that you should be

Share the snake with us,

swallow the snake (for) us...

Have you ever loved a woman

who instead of give or take

would seduce you with a trade

Share the snake with us,

swallow the snake (for) us...

You have learnt heaven through impure lips

so different from what you have been told

so different from what you have seen

and now that you learnt you will have to release

the tender arms of a woman

which would have strangled you to let you live

you will have to elect (choose) the fainting arms of this cross

which are just killing you to let you live...

Share the snake with us,

follow the snake with us...
