Eva no quiere ser para Adán
Eva doesn't want to be for Adam
La paridora pagada con pan
The paid birther fed with bread
Eva prefiere también parir
Eva also prefers to give birth
Pero después escoger donde ir
But then she chooses where to go
Por eso adquiere un semental
That's why she acquires a stallion
Y le da uso sin dudas normal
And uses it with no doubts at all
Eva cambió la señal
Eva changed the signal
Eva sale a cazar en celo
Eva goes out hunting in heat
Eva sale a buscar semillas
Eva goes out looking for seeds
Eva sale y remonta vuelo
Eva goes out and takes to the skies
Eva deja de ser costilla
Eva, stop being a rib
Eva sale a cazar en celo
Eva goes out hunting in heat
Eva sale a buscar semillas
Eva goes out to seek seeds
Eva sale y remonta vuelo
Eva steps out and takes to the sky
Eva deja de ser costilla
Eva, stop being a rib
Eva no intenta vestir de tul
Eva doesn't try to dress in tulle
Eva no cree en un príncipe azul
Eva doesn't believe in a prince charming
Eva no inventa falso papel
Eva doesn't create false tales
El fruto es suyo con padre o sin él
The fruit is hers, with or without a father
Eva se enfrenta al que dirán
Eva confronts what they'll say
Firme al timón como buen capitán
Steady at the helm like a good captain
Y encoge hombros Adán
And Adán shrugs his shoulders
Eva sale a cazar en celo
Eva goes out hunting in heat
Eva sale a buscar semillas
Eva goes out looking for seeds
Eva sale y remonta vuelo
Eva goes out and soars into flight
Eva deja de ser costilla, ah, ah, ah
Eva stops being a rib, ah, ah, ah
Eva sale a cazar en celo
Eva goes out hunting in heat
Eva sale a buscar semillas
Eva goes out looking for seeds
Eva sale y remonta vuelo
Eva goes out and soars into flight
Eva deja de ser costilla
Eva stops being a rib
