Inconveniencias translates to "inconveniences." It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in song titles or lyrics, especially in the context of regional Mexican music.
In this song, El Fantasma uses it to refer to the troubles or difficulties that come with a certain lifestyle or situation, possibly alluding to the challenges faced in his work or personal life. The title itself, "Las Inconveniencias," sets a reflective and somewhat cautionary tone, making the word stand out.
El Fantasma's "Las Inconveniencias" kicks off with a bold statement, talking about "un correazo que se llama las inconveniencias" [a belt called inconveniences]. It feels like he's setting the stage for some tough truths, maybe even a bit of a scolding, but with a wink. He quickly gets into how he's consistent in his actions, even when others might not understand. He says, "soy congruente que me cuentes por por entender que no es así" [I am consistent, tell me to understand that it is not like that], suggesting he's open to hearing different perspectives, but he stands firm in his ways.
He then talks about how he likes "las armaduras" [armor], which could be a metaphor for protection or strength, especially when facing life's challenges. He mentions "evidencias nunca mira más allá" [evidence never looks beyond], which might mean people only see the surface, not the deeper reasons for his actions. He's working hard, even when it takes a toll, saying, "cuando descuido a mi trabajo y de vida te desgastan en la espalda por mi familia también por mis hijas" [when I neglect my work and life, they wear you down on your back for my family, also for my daughters]. It's a powerful image of the sacrifices he makes, all for his loved ones. He ends by saying, "esto es en serio, un gran potencial para mí" [this is serious, a great potential for me], showing his dedication and belief in his path.
