¡ya Basta! Lyrics

Well, I'm really bad at understanding spanish, but I think that this song is about Emiliano Zapata and about the revolution in general.

"Emiliano dejo a su familia y su tierra" Refers to Emiliano Zapata, a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution, which broke out in 1910.

"¡Ya Basta!" is the slogan of EZNL (Zapatista Army of National Liberation), an armed revolutionary group based in Chiapas, Mexico. Obviously, their name is inspired by Zapata. I think "¡Ya Basta!" means "that's enough!"... a call for revolution.
