Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Y No Hago Mas Na' by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico from Spanish to English.

I get up in the morning

I take a bath

And I put on perfume

I eat a good breakfast

And I don't do anything else, anything else

After that I read the paper

I even read the obituaries

Or I start watching soap operas

And I don't do anything else

Anything else

At twelve o'clock

I eat a good lunch

Of rice with beans

And stewed meat

And I don't do anything else

Then I go to the hammock

To take a little nap

And sometimes I sleep two hours

And sometimes more

And I don't do anything else

And I get up around three

And I drink a good coffee

I smoke a little cigarette and grab my guitar

And I start to sing

A la la, a la la, a la la lara la lara

And at dinner time

My wife makes me

A steak with french fries

With salad and a thousand things more

And I wolf it down and I don't do anything else

Then I go to the balcony

As if I were a great gentleman

To rock myself in the armchair

To chat with my wife

A larara la la

Ay, when sleep hits me

Right away I go to bed

And I sleep until morning

And I don't do anything else

Anything else

How good that it is to live like this, eating and not working

Listen, I've never bent my back

And don't waste your time

I'm not going to change

No way!

How good that it is to live like this, eating and not working

Folks, if I am declared on strike, yes!

Let my wife keep me! Hear that?

How good that it is to live like this How good!

Eating and not working How good, how good!

How good that it is to live life

Eating, sleeping and not doing a thing!

Listen, buddy

Do you know what it is to be in an armchair

Rocking and rocking?

Waiting for the coupons or FEAD and Social Security to arrive

Like that, anybody could!

How good that it is to live like this, eating and not working

Getting the crazy pension

Crazy I am not at all, smart that I am!

How good that it is to live like this How good!

Eating and not working

Bring me a plate of mondongo

Rice, beans and stewed meat, to start

How good that it is to live like this, eating and not working

Who's gonna work? Who, me?

Find someone else, I already did what I had to do, kid

SONG MEANING

“Y No Hago Más Na’” is a playful, tongue-in-cheek anthem to laziness that could only come from the joyful salsa masters of Puerto Rico, El Gran Combo. The singer walks us through his “busy” day: a fragrant morning shower, a hearty breakfast, some light newspaper reading, a midday hammock siesta, guitar strumming on the balcony, and endless plates of rice, beans, beef stew, and fried steak prepared by his patient wife. At every turn he proudly repeats his motto, “y no hago más na’,” which means “and I do nothing else.” Each verse layers another delicious meal or leisurely activity, painting a vivid picture of tropical ease under swaying palm trees.

Underneath the humor lies a sly social commentary. The narrator brags about avoiding work, living off pensions and government coupons, and letting his wife “keep” him, hinting at welfare dependency and macho complacency. By exaggerating this carefree lifestyle, El Gran Combo pokes fun at anyone who refuses to pull their weight, while the irresistible salsa rhythm keeps listeners smiling and dancing. The song is both a comedic celebration of simple pleasures and a reminder that too much idleness can be absurd—yet somehow, with those sparkling horns and congas, it still sounds like paradise.
