Todos me dicen: "por supuesto, si seсor"
Mis intenciones pronto las conocerбs,
Y desde luego que tambiйn las sufrirбs.
No busco pena quiero ver vuestro dolor,
Estad atentos a vuestra televisiуn
Si tenйis miedo sabes siempre estarй yo
Lo imprescindible un lнder con gran decisiуn.
ЎInvasiуn, invasiуn! Con las armas y la ayuda de Dios.
Luchamos contra el hambre y por la libertad,
Arrasando paнses nacidos pa' matar,
Mil naciones que colonizar,
Los supervivientes podrбn ir a votar,
Estamos luchando contra el mal y no se ve el final.
Bien mis cachorros tenemos la soluciуn
Venderemos a sangre y fuego tu naciуn
Hoy tu riqueza las deseo para mi
No es mi problema si tu tienes que morir.
ЎInvasiуn, invasiуn! Con tu voto yo serй campeуn
ЎInvasiуn, invasiуn! Con las armas y la ayuda de Dios.
Luchamos contra el hambre y por la libertad
Arrasando paises nacidos paґ matar.
Mil naciones que colonizar
Los supervivientes podran ir a votar.
Estamos luchando con la paz y no se ve el final!
Quiero mas, siempre mas; el negocio debe continuar
Dame mas, siempre mas; soy el juez en el juicio final
Sois mi socio no me puedes fallar
Por la paz, por la libertad
Disparad y despuйs preguntar.
No Relax's song "Invasión" is a biting commentary on the politics of conquest and imperialism. The song criticizes leaders who seek to invade other countries in the name of democracy and freedom, while actually causing destruction and chaos. The singer in the song, likely a corrupt politician or dictator, boasts about his power and control over the media and the people. He promises to bring prosperity and democracy to other countries, but in reality intends to exploit their resources and manipulate their populations.
The lyrics are filled with double meanings and sarcastic comments. When the singer says "Quй bien me siento rodeado de razуn!" ("How good it feels to be surrounded by reason!"), he is actually mocking the idea of reason and rationality, since his actions are irrational and harmful. He also mentions "Venderemos a sangre y fuego tu naciуn" ("We will sell your nation with blood and fire"), which is an obvious reference to colonialism and the slave trade. The chorus, "Invasiуn, invasiуn! Con tu voto yo serй campeуn" ("Invasion, invasion! With your vote, I will be champion"), highlights the way that leaders use democracy as a cover for their real intentions.
The tone of the song is angry and confrontational, with the singer challenging his listeners to resist his power. The final line, "Disparad y despuйs preguntar" ("Shoot first and ask questions later"), is a chilling call to violence and shows just how little regard the singer has for human life.
