agallasguts / courage

Agallas literally translates to "gills" (like on a fish), but in slang, it means "guts" or "courage." It's a vivid and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song.

In this context, the lyrics "aquí no sobran agallas" (here there's no shortage of guts) emphasize the bravery and fearlessness of the people being described. It's a strong, colloquial expression that adds a lot of character to the song's narrative about street life and resilience.

Get ready to dive into the world of Dharius's "Brooklyn"! This track is all about living life on your own terms, with a strong sense of loyalty and a bit of a rebellious spirit.

Dharius talks about how he's chosen this life, saying, "Vivir así yo lo elegí, esa fue mi decisión" [I chose to live like this, that was my decision]. He's surrounded by his crew, enjoying the good times, with mentions of parties, money, and beautiful women. He's proud of how far he's come, admitting, "Mucho me ha costado llegar hasta acá" [It has cost me a lot to get here]. But even with success, he's still looking over his shoulder, knowing the government is after him: "El gobierno me sigue buscando, la huella me anda pisando" [The government keeps looking for me, they're tracking me]. It's a look into a life of ambition, loyalty, and always staying one step ahead.
