Serafina
Salty Dick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Serafina, Serafina.
She fucks all night and sleeps all day at the old Calle marina.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
She's queen of all the whores that work down at the old casino.
Serafina, Serafina.
She used to screw for monkey nuts, but now she fucks for vino.
Oh, Serafina's got no drawers, I've been ashore and seen her.
Serafina, Serafina.
She's got no time to put 'em on, that hard-fucked Serafina.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
She guzzles pisco, beer and gin; on rum her mum did wean her.
Serafina, Serafina.
She smokes just like the chimney stack on a PSNC steamer.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
She'll claw and bite and kick and scratch when in the old arena.
Serafina, Serafina.
She'll rob you blind if she gets the chance, that dirty she-hyena.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
Oh, I was young and in my prime when I first met Serafina.
Serafina, Serafina.
But the next morning when I woke up I wished I'd never seen her.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
For I was robbed, my gear was gone, and so was Serafina.
Serafina, Serafina.
She'd run off with a Dago man who played the concertina.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
Well, I fucked the whores in Callao and then the ones in Lima.
Serafina, Serafina.
But the randiest whore I ever fucked was the lovely Serafina.
Serafina, oh Serafina.
The song "Serafina" by Salty Dick tells the story of a notorious prostitute named Serafina who lives in Callao. The lyrics depict Serafina as a promiscuous woman who engages in sexual activity all night and sleeps during the day. She is referred to as the queen of all prostitutes who work at the old casino. Although she used to exchange sexual favours for monkey nuts, she has now upgraded to vino.
According to the song, Serafina barely wears drawers, as she hardly has the time to put them on. She is portrayed as a heavy drinker and smoker with a rough and violent nature, prone to scratching, biting and kicking. The lyrics suggest that Serafina was born to a mother who weaned her on rum.
The singer had a personal encounter with Serafina, whom he describes as dirty and untrustworthy. He woke up one morning to discover that Serafina had fled with his belongings and a Dago man who played the concertina. Despite this, the singer admits that Serafina was the randiest whore he ever had.
