Saltamontes literally translates to "grasshopper". It's an unexpected and charming word to find in a rap song, making it quite memorable.
In the lyrics, Gran Rah uses it as a term of endearment or a playful, yet wise, address to a younger or less experienced person, similar to how a mentor might say "young grasshopper" in English. This adds a layer of depth and a touch of traditional wisdom to the song's message about finding peace and purpose.
Gran Rah's "Por Honor" is a powerful declaration of an artist's journey and dedication. He talks about years of training and how his lyrics are no longer just text, but a reflection of his life, even what he's "muerto" [dead] to. He feels a disconnect from superficiality, saying "Dios, lo siento, te resto importancia al resto" [God, I'm sorry, I subtract importance from the rest].
He contrasts his roots from "1900 donde no habÃa un concierto, solo habÃa desconcierto" [1900 where there wasn't a concert, only bewilderment] with the present, emphasizing that the correct path often involves doing the incorrect and learning from mistakes. Gran Rah is all about authenticity, seeing through the fake people around him. He's not looking for a throne; his peace comes from within, not from the outside world. The chorus, "Por honor, buscando la paz interior, por honor, dándole cara al contendor" [For honor, seeking inner peace, for honor, facing the contender], really drives home his commitment to his craft and his personal growth. He even says he'd commit "harakiri con el micro si no es por honor" [harakiri with the mic if it's not for honor], showing how serious he is about his music and integrity.
