Cobra Criada Lyrics in English Lulu Santos

Cobra criada literally translates to "raised snake". It's an intriguing and somewhat unusual idiom that immediately sparks curiosity.

In Brazilian Portuguese, it's used to describe someone who is very experienced, cunning, or street-smart, often implying they are not easily fooled and can handle themselves in difficult situations. In the context of the song, the speaker uses it to assert their resilience and independence against negative influences, stating they are "cobra criada" and therefore "inconsequente" (inconsequential/unbothered) by others' malice.
