Sep 20 - Ni = Y + No?

Hey, so ever since I've come across the word "ni", I've treated it as if it meant "y no". This works for pretty much any example I've come across:

"No son pollos ni ratas son".

"No puedo saltar ni caminar"

I've also learned it means "neither-nor" and "even" when used in certain contexts. My question is in Shakira's song La Tortura, she says "No solo de pan vive el hombre Y no de excusas vivo yo". Shouldn't that be "No solo de pan vive el hombre ni de excusas vivo yo"?
