No Robarás
Los Mono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Que me digan que robar es un pecado
No me dice nada una idea floja
Idea vaga, idea robada.
Dime un "Por qu
é" y podré entenderte
Dime un "Por qué" y hablamos claro
Mi vida es un robo, mi patria es un robo
Robo de las dos cosas, mi robo es constante
The lyrics of Los Mono's song "No Robaras" talk about the concept of stealing and the way it is perceived in society. The beginning of the song talks about how people say that stealing is bad and a sin, but those ideas don't really mean much without a deeper meaning behind them. The singer then goes on to say that if someone can explain the "why" behind those ideas, they can be understood better. The chorus then reveals that the singer feels like his life and his country are both a constant robbery, which makes his own stealing seem insignificant in comparison.
The song can be interpreted in several ways, such as criticizing the social and economic inequalities that lead to theft, or reflecting on the moral dilemma of stealing in desperate situations. Overall, the lyrics encourage the listener to question the reasons and repercussions of theft rather than just blindly accepting that it is bad.
