Lyrics

Bueno señoras y señores yo les voy a decir una cosa
Este mundo está perdido, perdido.
Yo bebo y sufro y vivo en un pugilato postergado en mi dolor.
La cosa no es como antes que uno se iba de rumba y amanecía en el rumbón
Ya no se puede salir a la calle con tranquilidad, sin miedo o preocupación.
(Sin el temor que le vayan a quitar lo poco que gana trabajando la semana
rompiéndose el coco) (BIS)
Alalalllalala
CORO: La cosa no es como antes (bis)
Antes la vida era buena y todos vivíamos juntos Ahí pero ha llegado el momento
en que hay que cambiar el asunto. (Coro)
Hay la envidia y la maldad, si nos siguen por delante con nosotros va a acabar,
la cosa no es como antes. (Coro)
Tenemos que usar la mente y toditos de la mano, buscar amor y la paz y vivamos
como hermanos, la cosa no es como antes. (Coro).
Antes con menos dinero compraba lo que quería, gano más y compro menos pensando
en la economía, la cosa no es como antes. (Coro), tenemos que echar pa´lante.
(Coro).
(Coro).
Ay la cosa no es como antes (Coro)
El Señor de las alturas (Coro)
No ha descansado en su intento (Coro)
De ver al hombre de hoy (Coro)
Caminando bien contento (Coro)
(Gracias a Daniel Díaz Espinoza por esta letra)

Lyrics translation

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you one thing.
This world is lost, lost.
I drink and suffer and live in a boxing postponed in my pain.
The thing is not like before one left rumba and dawned on the rumbon
You can no longer go out into the street in peace, without fear or worry.
(Without the fear that they will take away what little he earns working the week
breaking the coconut) (BIS)
Alalalllalala
Chorus: the thing is not like before (bis)
Before life was good and we all lived there together but the time has come
that we have to change the subject. (Choir)
There is envy and evil, if they follow us ahead with us will end,
it's not like it used to be. (Choir)
We have to use the mind and all together, seek love and peace and live
as brothers, it's not like it used to be. (Choir).
Before with less money I bought what I wanted, I earn more and I buy less thinking
in economics, it's not like it used to be. (Chorus), we have to make a splash.
(Choir).
(Choir).
Ay the thing is not like before (chorus)
The Lord of the heights (chorus)
He has not rested in his attempt (chorus)
To see the man today (chorus)
Walking well happy (chorus)
