No
Willie Colón
No
This time I protest
It's not just what I want
I also want
To awaken their consciences
So they shout a loud no
To everything
That subjugates and
Destroys our morals
And even though
Many will be bothered by the things we sing
It doesn't matter
We won't be silent
On the contrary, we will shout with more strength
This no and they will have to listen to us
A no to evil
A no to hunger and war
A no to everyone
Who with their tricks destroys the earth
A no to damn drugs
That destroy so many people
A no to the bourgeoisie
A no to the landowners
A no to those who let
A child die of hunger
Who turns away
To not feel guilty
To those who solve problems
With aggression and bombings
Those who highlight their points
With the blood of the people
A no to those who don't believe
And don't let others create
Who only use their time
To criticize and criticize
No to those who do business
With weapons and militarism
Then declare to the people
That it's a matter of patriotism
A no to those men
Who stand on street corners
To shout dirty compliments
To every passing lady
For those mothers-in-law
Who don't respect the laws
Who no matter how many times they're told
Always interfere between children
To that old general
Who sends the young to war
And when things get tough
Stays far from the battle
A no to the exploiters
Who insist on replacing
With their lifeless messages
Trying to tame the people
