Uhh, please no pare de sufrir
Si lo que quieren es sufrir pues haganse oásis
Uhh, please no pare de sufrir
Si lo que quieren es sufrir pues haganse

Al animal, brutal, demente occidental,
Pongale una campana en el lóbulo occipital
Pa que levante, se amanse, que cante el elefante
(Y arriba las manos, y abajo las manos,
El que no salte no es militante)

No se van a dormir los que se quieran dormir
No se van a servir de nuevo
No quiero
No se van a dormir los que se quieran dormir
No se van a servir nooo!

I said oh, que low,
Tengo una sensación con mi dembow,
Alcohólico, dicharachero
Una lágrima en el hormiguero
Levanta la cabeza del suelo
Aunque te den con un tubo en el cuello
Levanta la cabeza del suelo
Aunque te den con un tubo en el cuello

Uhh please no pare de sufrir
Si lo que quieren es sufrir pues haganse oásis
Uhh please no pare de sufrir
Si lo que quieren pues haganse.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Milly Majuc's "No Quiero" explore themes of resistance against oppressive systems and power structures. The opening lines, "Uhh, please no pare de sufrir / Si lo que quieren es sufrir pues haganse oásis," can be interpreted as a call to resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Majuc seems to be saying that if someone wants to suffer, let them, but for those who don't, they need to keep fighting and pushing through.

The second verse references the Western world as "animal, brutal, demente occidental," and suggests that the solution is to put a bell on their "occipital lobe" to tame them. The line "Pa que levante, se amanse, que cante el elefante" can be translated to mean that the person needs to rise up, calm down, and sing like an elephant. The following chant, "Arriba las manos, y abajo las manos, el que no salte no es militante," asks for participation and unity among the people, stating that those who do not jump are not true activists.

The chorus repeats the line "No quiero" which can mean "I don't want to" or "I refuse," indicating a rejection of the current state of things. In the final verse, Majuc touches on themes of struggle and pain, stating "Una lágrima en el hormiguero / Levanta la cabeza del suelo / Aunque te den con un tubo en el cuello," encouraging listeners to keep their head up, even in difficult times.
