No
Lluís Llach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

De lluny, d'ahir, ens ve la veu que diu el no.
Damunt dels camps, els segles han escrit amb sang:
NO

Qui no el sabrà sentir?
Qui dirà que no el sent?
NO
D'ahir, de lluny, els segles han escrit amb sang.
D'avui, d'aquí, prenem la veu per a dir:
NO

Què diran els botxins?
Com ho gosaran dir?
NO

D'aquí, d'avui, prenem la veu per a dir el no.
D'arreu, demà vindrà la veu per a dir:
NO

I dins el cap dels llops




retrunyirà l'udol.
NO.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lluís Llach's song No are a powerful and poignant call to action, urging the listener to stand up against oppression, injustice, and violence by saying "no". The song begins by evoking the voice that has echoed through the centuries, proclaiming "no" in response to the horrors of war, persecution, and tyranny. The image of the blood-soaked fields is a reminder of the sacrifices that have been made in the struggle for freedom.


The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "qui no el sabrà sentir?" ("who will not feel it?"), challenges the listener to connect with the spirit of resistance that has sustained so many movements for social change. The urgent repetition of "no" in the second verse emphasizes the importance of this response – it is not enough to simply hear the call to action; we must also act on it. The third chorus further emphasizes the need for collective action, as we join our voices together to reject the forces of oppression.


The final verse highlights the bravery required to stand up against those in power, who will invariably try to silence or intimidate us. The image of the wolves howling in response to our refusal is a powerful one, emphasizing the stakes of the struggle. Ultimately, the message of the song is one of hope and determination – though the task may be difficult, we must continue to say "no" to injustice in all its forms.

Lluís! T'he sentit molt bé i t'he vist molt bé. Ens en sortirem. Aquest país nostre, té que navegar sol. Encara que no ho sembli som molta gent que pensem el mateix. Llibertat al poble. Solament volem urnes amb llibertat. Ho sentiu? Amb llibertat! Tan difícil és entendre això? Gràcies per tot Lluís.
