The Snake
Oscar Brown Jr.
On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Now she wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk
And laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night, as soon she arrived
Now she found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bitten me, even why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm gonna die"
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said that reptile with a grin
"Now you knew darn well I was a snake before you brought me in"
"Please take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Sighed the snake
Take me in tender woman
(Come on in you pretty snake, come on in)
Snake, snake (yeah, come on in you pretty snake)
Take me in, tender woman (come on in, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Snake (come on in yeah, yeah, yeah)
On her way to work one morning
Sur son chemin pour aller travailler un matin
Down the path alongside the lake
Le long du sentier bordant le lac
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
Une femme au cœur tendre a vu un pauvre serpent à moitié gelé
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
Sa jolie peau colorée avait été toute givrée par la rosée
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Oh bien," pleura-t-elle, "Je vais te prendre et je vais prendre soin de toi"
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
"Prends-moi, oh, femme tendre (oui, entre)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Prends-moi, pour l'amour du ciel (oui, entre)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Prends-moi, femme tendre," soupira le serpent
Now she wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk
Maintenant, elle l'a enveloppé tout confortablement dans une couverture de soie
And laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Et l'a posé près du feu avec un peu de miel et de lait
Now she hurried home from work that night, as soon she arrived
Maintenant, elle s'est précipitée chez elle après le travail cette nuit-là, dès qu'elle est arrivée
Now she found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
Maintenant, elle a trouvé que ce joli serpent qu'elle avait pris avait été ranimé
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
"Prends-moi, oh, femme tendre (oui, entre)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Prends-moi, pour l'amour du ciel (oui, entre)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Prends-moi, femme tendre," soupira le serpent
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
Maintenant, elle l'a serré contre sa poitrine, "Tu es si beau," pleura-t-elle
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
"Mais si je ne t'avais pas amené ici maintenant, tu aurais peut-être été mort"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
Maintenant, elle a caressé sa jolie peau encore une fois et l'a ensuite embrassé et serré fort
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)
Mais au lieu de dire merci, ce serpent lui a donné une morsure vicieuse (ooh)
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
"Prends-moi, oh, femme tendre (oui, entre)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Prends-moi, pour l'amour du ciel (oui, entre)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Prends-moi, femme tendre," soupira le serpent
"I saved you," cried that woman
"Je t'ai sauvé," pleura cette femme
"And you've bitten me, even why?
"Et tu m'as mordu, même pourquoi ?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm gonna die"
Et tu sais que ta morsure est venimeuse et maintenant je vais mourir"
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said that reptile with a grin
"Oh, tais-toi, femme stupide," dit ce reptile avec un sourire
"Now you knew darn well I was a snake before you brought me in"
"Maintenant, tu savais très bien que j'étais un serpent avant de m'amener ici"
"Please take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
"S'il te plaît, prends-moi, oh, femme tendre (oui, entre)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Prends-moi, pour l'amour du ciel (oui, entre)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
Prends-moi, femme tendre," soupira le serpent
Sighed the snake
Soupira le serpent
Take me in tender woman
Prends-moi, femme tendre

A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
Uma mulher de coração mole viu uma pobre cobra meio congelada
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
Sua pele colorida tinha sido toda coberta de orvalho
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
Agora ela o apertou contra seu peito, "Você é tão lindo," ela chorou
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
"Mas se eu não tivesse te trazido até agora você poderia ter morrido"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
Agora ela acariciou sua linda pele novamente e então o beijou e o segurou apertado
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)

On her way to work one morning
Auf ihrem Weg zur Arbeit eines Morgens
Down the path alongside the lake
Den Pfad entlang des Sees hinunter
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
Sah eine sanftmütige Frau eine arme halbgefrorene Schlange
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
Seine hübsch gefärbte Haut war ganz mit Tau überzogen
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
„Oh gut,“ weinte sie, „Ich nehme dich auf und kümmere mich um dich“
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
„Nimm mich auf, oh, sanftmütige Frau (ja, komm rein)
Take me in, for heaven's sake (yes, come on in)
Nimm mich auf, um Himmels willen (ja, komm rein)
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

Now she wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk
Nun wickelte sie ihn ganz gemütlich in eine Seidendecke
And laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Und legte ihn neben das Feuer mit etwas Honig und Milch
Now she hurried home from work that night, as soon she arrived
Nun eilte sie von der Arbeit nach Hause, sobald sie ankam
Now she found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
Nun drückte sie ihn an ihre Brust, „Du bist so schön,“ weinte sie
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
„Aber wenn ich dich nicht hereingebracht hätte, könntest du jetzt gestorben sein“
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
Nun streichelte sie seine hübsche Haut wieder und küsste und hielt ihn fest
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)
Aber anstatt sich zu bedanken, biss die Schlange sie bösartig (ooh)
"Take me in, oh, tender woman (yes, come on in)
„Nimm mich auf, oh, sanftmütige Frau (ja, komm rein)

And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm gonna die"
Und du weißt, dass dein Biss giftig ist und jetzt werde ich sterben“
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said that reptile with a grin
„Oh, halt den Mund, dumme Frau,“ sagte das Reptil mit einem Grinsen

"Ma se non ti avessi portato dentro ora potresti essere morto"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then kissed and held him tight
Ora accarezzò di nuovo la sua bella pelle e poi lo baciò e lo tenne stretto
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite (ooh)
