Original lyrics
La víbora de la mar
A la víbora, víbora
de la mar, de la mar
por aquí pueden pasar.
Los de adelante corren mucho
y los de atrás se quedarán
tras, tras, tras, tras.
Una mexicana que fruta vendía
ciruela, chabacano, melón o sandía.
Verbena, verbena, jardín de matatena.
Verbena, verbena, la virgen de la cueva.
Campanita de oro déjame pasar,
Con todos mis hijos menos el de atrás
Tras, tras, tras, tras.
Será melón, será sandía
será la vieja del otro día
día, día, día, día.
El puente está quebrado,
que lo manden componer
Con cáscaras de huevo
y pedazos de oropel
pel, pel, pel, pel.

The sea snake
To the snake, the snake
Of the sea, of the sea
All of you can pass through here,
Those up front run quickly
Those at back are left behind
'hind, 'hind, 'hind, 'hind.
One Mexican (woman), who sold fruits
Plums, apricots, cantaloupes or watermelons
Verbena, verbena, garden of jacks
Verbena, verbena, the virgin of the cave
Little golden bell, let me pass
With all my children, except the one that's last
Last, last, last, last.
Will it be cantaloupe? Will it be watermelon?
Will it be the old lady we saw the other day?
Day, day, day, day.
The bridge is broken
Send someone to have it fixed
With broken bits of eggshells
And pieces of aluminum foil
Foil, foil, foil, foil
