belicona — Warlike Woman / Tough Woman

Belicona is a fascinating slang term popular in modern Mexican music. It's the feminine form of belicón, which derives from the word bélico, meaning "warlike" or "belligerent".

In the song, Alemán says, "Me pongo belicón, tú te pones belicona" (I get warlike, you get warlike). He's not talking about an actual fight; he's using this slang to describe a confident, tough, and fearless attitude. Calling her his belicona frames her as his powerful equal who matches his intense energy.

"Te Quería Ver" brings Mexican rapper Alemán and singer Neton Vega together for a late-night hookup anthem that skips the small talk. The hook lays it all out immediately with "Te quería ver / Sólo un ratito volverte a tener" ("I wanted to see you / Just for a little bit to hold you again"). It kicks off with a simple DM slide: "Le tiré por el Insta, sólo le dije: 'Hola'" ("I messaged her on Insta, I just said: 'Hello'"). From there, the vibe switches to flexes and promises of luxury, showing off stacks of cash with "pa' comprarte todo tengo un chingo de dollars" ("to buy you everything I have a shitload of dollars"), designer names like Cartier, Versace, and Chanel, plus high-end handbags ordered straight from Italy.

Alemán packs the lyrics with heavy Mexican slang you will hear on the street. He calls himself el patrón (the boss) and calls her la patrona, before bragging that "Me pongo belicón, tú te pones belicona" ("I get rowdy/warlike, you get rowdy/warlike"), using belicón to describe an intense, badass attitude. He mentions carrying protection with "aquí cargo una tola" (slang for packing a gun) and says he likes her style "machín" (slang meaning "a ton" or "heavily"). He drops a nod to his real-life crew Homegrown Mafia while demanding she put her phone on airplane mode ("Ponte en modo avión") so they can tune out the rest of the world completely.
