correazo — a strong hit / a whip

Correazo literally translates to "a strong hit" or "a whip". It's a vivid and somewhat aggressive word that isn't commonly found in everyday Spanish songs.

In the context of this song, the artist uses it metaphorically when he says, "vamos a enviar este correazo por acá al tercero Armando." He's not talking about a literal whip, but rather sending a powerful message or a strong musical piece to "tercero Armando" (the third in command). It implies a forceful and impactful delivery, making it an interesting and memorable choice.

Get ready to meet "Tercero Al Mando" (Third in Command)! This live track from Julián Mercado, featuring Michael Cruz, is a direct message from someone in a position of power. The lyrics tell us that a "comunicado Exprés" (express communication) has been sent, clearly stating who's in charge with a signature that includes a three. This person doesn't want to say too much to avoid getting "quemar más" (burned more), but they make it clear they are a person of their word and that "la orden nada me afa" (nothing stops my order).

He describes himself as having a "38 de la copita de oro edición especial" (special edition .38 gold cup) and being the "sombra de mi padre al caminar" (shadow of my father when I walk), referring to "el señor de Michoacán" (the lord of Michoacán). He demands respect, especially for the people, and warns that those who don't align will have no option. He's an observer, stating, "desde arriba miro todo y no les conozco el miedo" (from above I see everything and I don't know fear). It's a bold declaration of authority and loyalty, all wrapped up in a lively live performance!
