Eva

The song 'Eva' by Viejas Locas is a rebellious and provocative take on the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The lyrics suggest a departure from traditional narratives, urging Eva (Eve) not to stay with Adán (Adam) but to choose the singer instead. This reinterpretation of the classic tale is filled with defiance and a desire for freedom, as the singer promises Eva happiness and a life beyond the constraints of paradise.

The mention of 'mi serpiente vale más' (my serpent is worth more) is a direct reference to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, traditionally seen as a symbol of temptation and sin. However, in this context, the serpent represents a more valuable and enticing alternative to the conventional path. The singer's promise of more apples ('hay más manzanas por aquí') further emphasizes the abundance and freedom that awaits Eva if she chooses to escape with him.

The lyrics also critique the figure of God, referred to as 'el flaco de barba' (the skinny guy with a beard), who wants to imprison them in paradise. This portrayal challenges the traditional view of God as a benevolent figure, instead depicting him as a restrictive force. The singer's knowledge of the story and the prediction that 'lo van a colgar' (they will hang him) adds a layer of foreboding and rebellion. The final lines, urging Eva to remove the fig leaf and engage in a physical act, underscore the song's themes of liberation and defiance against societal and divine norms.
