No Es No

Seeing her on the street dressed in red
Doesn't mean she's doing it for your whim
Wearing a low-cut top today
Doesn't give you the right to start whistling, (what are you looking at, fool?)

Walking at night after a party
And being somewhat drunk doesn't mean she's willing
No means you no longer have a chance
I wish for a day you wear her shoes
And get harassed by guys

Going out on the street with fear
That maybe you won't come back
I wish this world were the same
And someone tells them

That sleeping with a drunk person is a homicidal act
That behind the pleasure they feel now, there's a life
And no means no until she decides
And someone tells them

Maybe she dances alone because she's hurt
Maybe as a child, her life changed forever
Someone came and touched her while she was asleep
Out on the street, it's terror if she's not careful

We all know a close story
It could be your mom, God forbid, your sister
With money or without, European or Hispanic
They all suffer the same every new week

Someone came and ruined their whole life and left
Now they use makeup to cover what's visible (they get beaten daily)
The one who did it walks without hurry
And shields himself saying they weren't submissive
How can we ask them to have faith in the world? (tell them again)
And someone tells them

That sleeping with a drunk person is a homicidal act
That behind the pleasure they feel now, there's a life
And no means no until she decides
And someone tells them

Maybe she dances alone because she's hurt
Maybe as a child, her life changed forever
Someone came and touched her while she was asleep
Out on the street, it's terror if she's not careful, (listen well)
The wound is not only on the skin

Abuse is not just being unfaithful
And another woman today repeats the story
That her mom still keeps in memory
That's why the hatred is escalating
And someone tells them, (Dave Bolaño)

That sleeping with a drunk person is a homicidal act, (breaking the norms)
That behind the pleasure they feel now, there's a life
And no means no until she decides
And someone tells them, (how much we have to learn)

Maybe she dances alone because she's hurt
(All the times we fail)
Maybe as a child, her life changed forever, (16 bars)
Someone came and touched her while she was asleep
Out on the street, it's terror if she's not careful
