N.O.M. Lyrics in English Bunbury

Home / Lyrics Translation / Bunbury / N.O.M.

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song N.O.M. by Bunbury from Spanish to English.

Opinion piece

Let's start

Drink from the tea

Jasmine green

And warm your throat

Drink from the sermons

From the orators that know what suits you

Okay

The brothel is open

And you complain about the schedule

You want vacation in prime-time

The new world order knows what it does

And you don't know how to appreciate it

You have too much month

At the end of the paycheck

The ground trembles under your feet

This is the playing field

And your contribution will be

Dog barks

Woof, woof!

And don't regret

Your lack of talent as a rock star

The new world order knows what it does

And you don't know how to appreciate it

What they expect from you

You don't deserve it

What they expect from you

You'll do very well

The new world order knows what it does

And you don't know how to appreciate it

The new world order knows what it does

SONG MEANING

N.O.M. (short for Nuevo Orden Mundial or New World Order) is Bunbury’s tongue-in-cheek critique of modern complacency. The Australian rocker invites you to sip “té verde de jazmín” and swallow the smooth sermons of self-proclaimed gurus while the real puppeteers pull every string behind the curtain. Between images of a never-closing brothel and the ground trembling beneath your feet, Bunbury mocks our demands for luxury “in prime-time” even as we blindly obey and bark on command.

The chorus drives the point home: society expects obedience, not brilliance. If we stay distracted, the only stage we will ever earn is one where we howl like dogs. N.O.M. is therefore both a sardonic anthem and a wake-up call, urging listeners to question who sets the rules, who profits from our routines, and how much of our talent is being squandered while the so-called New World Order keeps smiling, confident we “don’t know how to appreciate” what is really happening.
