Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't love me and I know now
No, no, no
You don't love me and I know now
Cause you left me baby
And I got no place to go now
Todo lo que me dijo que ya yo no soy rico
Todo lo que me dijo que ya yo no soy
I'll do anything you say girl
No, no, no
I'll do anything you say girl
If you ask me baby
I'll get on my knees and
Todo lo que me dijo bailando con mi ritmo
Todo lo que me dijo bailando con mi ritmo
No, no, no
You don't love me and I know now
No, no, no
You don't love me and I know now
Cause you left me baby
And I got no place to go now
Todo lo que me dijo que ya yo no soy rico
Todo lo que me dijo que ya yo no soy
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres y ya lo sé
No me quieres no me quieres y ya lo sé
The song "No No No" by the Boogaloo Assassins is about a man who realizes that his lover does not actually love him, and has left him with nowhere to go. The lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and disillusionment, with the repeated refrain "No, no, no, you don't love me and I know now" driving home the message. The singer is desperate to win back his lover's affection, declaring that he will do anything she asks, even getting on his knees. However, it is clear that these efforts are in vain, as his lover has already moved on.
The song is primarily sung in Spanish, with only the repeated refrain in English. This reflects the band's Latin roots and the influence of salsa and other Latin American music on their sound. The use of call-and-response vocals and a driving, salsa-inspired rhythm give the song an infectious energy that is difficult to resist. Despite the sadness of the lyrics, the overall tone of the song is upbeat and danceable.
Overall, "No No No" is a powerful expression of the pain of unrequited love, set to a catchy Latin dance beat. The song's bilingual lyrics and fusion of different musical styles make it a unique and engaging work of art.
