No es lo mismo
La Kinky Beat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no es lo mismo subir que bajar,
no es lo mismo decir que me quieres,
no es lo mismo no quiero verte mas.
No es lo mismo decir si o no,
no es lo mismo el pueblo que el patron,
no es lo mismo vivir liberao,
En el filon del ultimo escalon
tropezara y caera como un cabron,
en el filon de la ultima verdad
seremos libres, vendra la libertad!! (bis)
Sigo pensando en ti,
da lo mismo que pienses tu de mi,
no es lo mismo que vivas tu vida,
no es lo mismo mi vida sin ti.
Estamos aqui y nos da lo mismo bajar que subir,
somos de aqui, somos de alla,
no hay muros ni balas que nos puedan parar!!
En el filon del ultimo escalon
tropezara y caera como un cabron,
en el filon de la ultima verdad
seremos libres, vendra la libertad!! (bis)
The lyrics to La Kinky Beat's song "No es lo mismo" (It's Not the Same) contrast different experiences and situations, emphasizing how they cannot be compared to each other. The refrain "no es lo mismo" (it's not the same) underscores this theme, highlighting how each experience is unique and cannot be substituted for another.
The first verse contrasts laughing and crying, going up and going down, saying "I love you" and not wanting to see someone again. The second verse contrasts saying yes or no, being part of the people or the boss, living free or dying condemned. These examples show that different choices and circumstances lead to diverse outcomes, and that life is not a zero-sum game where one can substitute one thing for another without repercussions.
The third verse brings a personal dimension to the song, as the singer declares that they still think about someone, even if that person doesn't reciprocate their feelings. The final verse returns to a collective spirit, asserting that no walls or bullets can stop people who share a common purpose and identity. The song's energy and rhythm invites listeners to join in this celebration of diversity and resilience.
