Noko
Molotov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahora que nos conocemos mejor mamá
Ven acá y dime donde esta papá!
De ir en la vida en la pura subida
Ahora en picada y de pura bajada
Quien piense que no llueve sobre mojado
Aliviáname ñor que aquí truena sobre empapado
Tenia edredón ahora tapa de caja
Estaba usando mi perro de almohada
Y tope unas tortillas
Y no queda perro nada!
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
Con las proteínas de una cawama
Logre levantarme para pedir chamba
Sali a la calle a ver quien me aliviana
Y aquí estoy de rebote
Gracias a un cerdo con su macana
6 months now sin comida ni chamba
Vendí tanto mi alma que no vale nada
Quisiera rentarla pero ya no aguanta
Así que echen paja paja
Tito el roto ya no la levanta
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey
Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena
The song "Noko" by Molotov is a powerful portrayal of poverty and desperation, and the struggle to survive in a world that often seems indifferent to the suffering of the poor. The lyrics express the singer's pain and frustration as he faces an uncertain future, with no job, no food, and no hope. The song begins with a plea to the singer's mother for information about his absent father, a theme that echoes throughout the song as a symbol of the feeling of abandonment and helplessness that many people experience in poverty.
As the song continues, the lyrics describe the harsh reality of the singer's existence, as he struggles to find food and shelter, and to make some sense of the cruel world around him. The images of sleeping in the mud and using a dog as a pillow are vivid and shocking, underlining the desperation of the singer's situation. The refrain, "No comeremos mañana ni hoy honey/Nos comeremos aquí entre los dos nena" (We won't eat tomorrow or today, honey/We'll eat here between the two of us, baby), echoes this sense of isolation and hopelessness, contrasting with the upbeat rhythm of the song.
Overall, "Noko" is a powerful social critique that highlights the stark realities of poverty and its impact on individuals and families. The song's use of vivid imagery, repetition, and irony creates a sense of urgency and immediacy that highlights the need for change and social justice.
