Tenia [English translation]

It's1 a ribbon-shaped anellid2

Invading the human body:

Its scolex bears four suckers

and - by Jove! - it's a true parasite!

Bulimia, anemia, severe inappetence:

they are all proof of its presence.

Headache, vertigo, hypochondria:

Holy shit! - it hasn't gone yet!

[You must] eat marinated herrings,

Garlic, salted anchovies,

Do a nice cleaning enema

And your Taenia, your Taenia, will go away!

It won't cause you edemas and haemorrhages anymore!

And your Taenia, your Taenia, will go away

If you expel its head, too...!

Expel your Taenia! Expel your Taenia!

If you want to feel good you must expel your Taenia!

Expel your Taenia! Expel your Taenia!

If you want to feel good you must expel your Taenia!
