Insumisión
Skaparapid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando te llegue la carta ¡que menos que vomitar!
No te resignes i pasa a la clandestinidad
Te quieren secuestrar sometido por su ley
Pero tu no estas dispuesto a obedecer por deber,
¡Y diles! Que pasas de lo militar
¡Y diles! Que pasas de objetar
¡Y diles y diles que pasas! de su autoridad
Porque si algo les revienta...
INSUMISION TOTAL





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Skaparapid's song "Insumisión" are a call for rebellion against authority and militarism. The first line, "Cuando te llegue la carta ¡que menos que vomitar!" (When you receive the letter, at least vomit!), is a reference to the mandatory military service that was in place in Spain at the time of the song's release. The singer is urging the listener to reject this call to arms, to "pasa a la clandestinidad" (go underground) and resist the government's attempts to conscript them.


The second line, "Te quieren secuestrar sometido por su ley" (They want to kidnap you, subject you to their law), further emphasizes the oppressive nature of the government's actions. The singer is encouraging the listener to resist this kidnapping and to refuse to be "sometido" (subdued) by the state.


The refrain of the song, "¡Y diles! Que pasas de lo militar / ¡Y diles! Que pasas de objetar / ¡Y diles y diles que pasas! de su autoridad" (And tell them! that you don't care about the military / And tell them! that you don't care about objecting / And tell them, tell them that you reject! their authority) is a direct challenge to the government's power. The singer is urging listeners to stand up for their beliefs and to resist the state's attempts to control them. The final line, "INSUMISION TOTAL" (Total rebellion), drives this message home and calls for a complete rejection of the military and government's authority.
