ska
Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line, accented guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant musical genre of Jamaica, and it was also popular with British mods. Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican ska scene of the 1960s, the 2 Tone ska revival that started in England in the late 1970s, and the third wave ska movement, which started in the 1980s.

Don't Speak
No Doubt Lyrics
You and me, we used to be together
Every day together, always
I really feel that I'm losin' my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real, well, I don't want to know
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories, well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands, I sit and cry
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts, no, no, no
Don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending
We gotta stop pretending
Who we are
You and me
I can see us dyin'
Aren't we?
Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
No, no, don't speak, I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
I know what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't speak, don't speak
Don't speak, no
I know what you're thinkin'
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good, I know you're good
I know you're real good, oh
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Don't, don't, ooh, ooh
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Oh, hush, hush, darling
Hush, hush, darling

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are
You and me I can see us dying, are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak
Don't speak
Don't speak
Oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good
I know you're good
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Don't, don't, uh-huh hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' hush, hush
Don't tell me tell me 'cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me 'cause it hurts

Le pregunto al silencio
que me hablé de ti
en las noches tu voz
creo oir
Y me preguntó estás
ahí estás ahi
Si, si, si, muy muy
dentro de mí
Nadie lo sabrá jamas
Que por las noches
yo te vengó a buscar
nadie lo sabrá jamas
jamás jamás jamas

Fun fact: This was originally a love song, while Gwen and Tony were still dating. After they broke up, she rewrote majority of the lyrics to reflect that, only the chorus remain mostly unchanged.

Anyone else have this song play at their prom?
Kelsie Swygart
Damn that's deep ❤️🔥
Toad War
Everyone knows this!! Lol
Rosy Aruta
@kick 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🤦👏👏

Also, taking the context of what was going on at the time as far as the band and the media were concerned this was extremely pertinent and also brave of them to do.

Essa foi a primeira música que eu traduzi na vida... O ano era 1996... Lembro como se fosse hoje a atividade de tradução na aula de inglês... Fiquei alucinado por essa música... Nessa época, não tínhamos muitos recursos matérias para tradução das músicas... Foi uma atividade muito marcante para mim... Escutar uma música numa outra língua e entender qual mensagem está sendo transmitida... Uma belíssima canção...

@Osmildo Bezerra as an english teacher i would prepare the same lesson and was always thoughtful with my song choices. Love that this was yours!*a hug
Osmildo Bezerra
Thank you for your interest in knowing what I had written. Today, communication is much more accessible. A hug.

I had to translate your comment from Portuguese to English--it took me a while to look up all the words. :-)
