Es sólo polo ardiendo
El lado no era tan gris
Hay mucha luz ahí dentro
No voy a preguntar si salgo o si entro
No voy a derrapar, ¡no hoy! ¡no voy!
¡Aaah!
¡Aaah!
¡Aaah!
Hoy no me voy a dormir
Veo puertas en el medio
Estoy mudando la piel
Doy vueltas sin encuentro
Hoy me lleva de aquí
Un huracán de cuento
No voy a divagar
¡No hoy! ¡no voy!
¡Aaah!
¡Aaah!
¡Aaah!
¡Aaah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Caminando por las paredes (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Todo se ha puesto al revés (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
No sabes nunca cuando va a empezar (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ni cuando se va a detener (ah-ah-ah)
Hoy no quiero ser
Hoy no quiero estar
No quiero tener que decirlo más
No quiero salir
Ni tampoco entrar
No tener porqué parecer normal
The lyrics to Bala's song "Hoy No" (Today No) convey a sense of freedom and letting go of expectations. The singer expresses that they have nothing to complain about, as they are surrounded by a burning fire and have found light within themselves. They are not going to ask whether they should leave or stay, and they will not lose control or slip up.
The second verse describes a feeling of being in limbo, seeing doors in the middle of things and going around in circles without finding what they are looking for. However, today they are being taken away by a fairytale hurricane and they will not let themselves get lost in their thoughts. The chorus repeats the phrase "ah" several times, expressing an emotional release and a sense of liberation.
The bridge of the song reinforces the idea of things being turned upside down, with the singer feeling like they are walking on walls and not knowing when something will start or end. Finally, the last verse shows the singer rejecting the conventional expectations of what they should be doing or feeling. They do not want to be present, contained, or normal. Instead, they want to live in the moment and embrace their freedom.
