Pleitos translates to "fights" or "arguments", but it often carries a stronger connotation of repeated quarrels or serious disputes, especially in Mexican Spanish.
In the song, the artist sings, "Eran mil pleitos y que dónde andaba" (It was a thousand arguments and questions of 'where were you'). This one word perfectly captures the constant conflict and lack of trust that destroyed the relationship, making it a powerful and descriptive term to learn.
Get ready for a heartfelt emotional roller-coaster! In “Mejor Acabar,” Eslabon Armado teams up with Junior H to turn a breakup into a soulful confession wrapped in regional Mexican guitars and raw vocals. The singers have reached the point of ya me cansé — they are simply exhausted from endless fights, jealousy, and the painful loss of trust. What once felt like a perfect romance has withered, so they decide it is better to end it before bitterness takes over completely.
Rather than pointing fingers, the song highlights acceptance: No soy yo el que arruinó esto… no hay que odiar. Both lovers admit they have become “personas muy malas,” watching love slip away with every argument and late-night rumor. Still, there is a bittersweet respect in their farewell. The promise not to trash-talk each other and the plea to hang up on drunk calls shows lingering care even as they walk separate paths. “Mejor Acabar” captures that relatable moment when love turns into exhaustion and closure feels like the only path back to peace.
Eslabón Armado began in 2017 as three teenagers from Patterson, California, playing sierreño on twelve-string guitar and bass while they were still at Patterson High School. Brothers Pedro and Brian Tovar are the two constants; Pedro started writing the songs at about ten, and the first album was cut in a garage. Their subject is almost always heartbreak, taken slowly and sung close to the microphone.
That garage record, Tu Veneno Mortal (2020), still went to No. 1 on Billboard's Regional Mexican Albums chart, and "Con Tus Besos" and "La Trokita" were the singles that carried it. Corta Venas arrived the same year and is certified 8x platinum in the Latin field. Nostalgia (2022) hit No. 9 on the Billboard 200, the first regional Mexican album to reach the top ten there. In March 2023 they released "Ella Baila Sola" with Peso Pluma, which peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and became the first regional Mexican song in the top ten, and the album behind it, Desvelado, entered at No. 6. Amor Perdido followed in 2024, Vibras de Noche 2 in 2025.
