¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jIt's a snake with two heads,

Which is made up of some threads.

It's a snake that doesn't attack.

But a parrot that records your voice and plays back.

It's a snake that needs a source of energy,

Without the power it's not even a piece of jewellery.

It's a snake that doesn't look clumsy,

Of course some of its fellows abandoned their long body.

It's a snake that knows how to play all the instruments,

But they don't look like elephants.

It's a snake whose voice can only be heard by you,

But surely one head can be taken off so they can be shared by two.

It's a snake that often ties itself in knots,

But untying it you won't need to hatch sophisticated plots.
