Revolution/Cumbia Reggae
King Changó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The politicians, all they do is talk
We are losing lives drop by drop
It is up to us to press the button to stop!
You better fight, fight, you better fight for your rights
You better be strong, strong, when the police come
You better run, run, tell all your people around
Discrimination on the border is tough
The police patrols cover their crimes in the dark
We are losing rights and me no want to take that
If we all get together we can make them stop!
You better fight, fight, you better fight for your rights
You better be strong, strong, when the police come
You better run, run, tell all your people around
Revolution, if there is any opposition!
Esta revolution no es de guerra, sino de esperanza,
Esta revolution va encontra de la estúpida ignorancia
Que nuestra gente, que tiene poder, lo sepan ejercer
Para que nuestras familias un futuro bueno, puedan obtener
These lyrics convey a message of revolution and resistance against oppression and discrimination, particularly in the context of life in the ghetto and on the border. The opening lines describe the harsh reality of life in poverty-stricken areas, with politicians offering empty promises while people are dying. The lyrics make a call to action, urging people to "press the button to stop" the ongoing cycle of violence and despair.
The theme of resistance and fighting for one's rights is prevalent throughout the song. The chorus repeats the message of fighting, being strong when faced with police brutality, and spreading the word to others. The second verse specifically addresses discrimination on the border, where police are able to get away with crimes in the dark. The lyrics express a desire to no longer accept the loss of rights and advocate for people to come together to create change.
