Yofo Lyrics in English by Molotov

Zafo is a very interesting and unique word in this song. While it literally translates to "I avoid" or "I dodge," in the context of Molotov's

Molotov's "Yofo" is a wild ride through a chaotic, party-filled, and politically charged Mexico. The song is packed with slang and a rebellious spirit, making it feel like a conversation with a friend who's seen it all.

The lyrics jump from avoiding responsibilities, like not wanting to drive or help someone who's sick ("Zafo manejar, zafo ayudar a guacarear" [I avoid driving, I avoid helping to throw up]), to wanting to be taken care of ("Shot, que me carguen" [Shot, let them carry me]). There's a strong sense of dodging annoyances and authority, from avoiding a drunk friend ("zafo a aguantar su peda" [I avoid putting up with his drunkenness]) to outright rejecting political figures and institutions ("Zafo, zafo Calderón" [I avoid, I avoid Calderón]) and even corrupt police ("zafo el tira grosero" [I avoid the rude cop]). The band even makes a cheeky comment about buying their music illegally to spite the record label: "Ayude a la disquera a que nos meta más la riata" [Help the record label screw us over more]. It's a blunt, funny, and critical look at everyday life and the frustrations of living in a country where, as they put it, "este país se maneja con las nalgas" [this country is run by asses].
