Migrantes translates to "migrants" or "immigrants." It's a significant word in the context of this song, especially given the setting of Tijuana, a major border city.
The lyrics state, "siempre jamás será Migrantes solo," which can be interpreted in a few ways. It could refer to the shared experience of migrants, suggesting a sense of solidarity or a declaration that the speaker will never be just another migrant, but rather someone who has made a name for themselves. This word offers a glimpse into the socio-political landscape often reflected in regional Mexican music.
Get ready to dive into the world of Grupo Codiciado with "En Tijuana Naci / El 09"! This track immediately sets a defiant tone, with the singer declaring, "primero donde estoy asà tenÃa que estar del loco puro chapo guzmán" [first, where I am, that's how it had to be, from the crazy pure Chapo Guzmán]. It's a bold statement about his origins and perhaps a hint at a certain kind of life. He talks about not trusting anyone, saying "siempre les dije a todos ahora no confiar verdad que si estoy loco" [I always told everyone now not to trust, really, I'm crazy].
The song paints a picture of a life lived on the edge, referencing friends like Marcial and a Nissan car. He mentions having to "hacer de todo" [do everything] in Tijuana and never being a migrant. The lyrics also touch on enjoying the finer (and perhaps riskier) things in life, like "disparar y fumar de la verde" [shooting and smoking the green stuff]. He's a man who learned to defend himself and isn't afraid of the government looking for him. The repeated mention of "el 09" seems to be a significant identifier, and he's ready for whatever comes next, stating "el 09 y banesto ya las que vengan" [the 09 and Banesto, whatever comes now].
