Get ready to meet the person behind "El De Charay"! This song is all about the singer's journey and who he is today. He makes it clear from the start that he's a "gente viva" [lively person] and that he's got his "playera bien puesta" [shirt on right], ready to win. He's known as "gente de los mejores" [one of the best people] and he's proud of his last name.
He tells us about his past struggles, how he had to "batallar" [fight] and that he grew up with just his mom. He traveled "por las fronteras para poder progresar" [through the borders to progress], working hard to get where he is. Now, he's at the service of Iván, ready to do whatever is commanded, and he's got people to "pelear y también para ayudar" [fight and also to help]. He also gives a shout-out to Juan, who offered him friendship, and to everyone who stands with him "en las buenas y en las malas" [in good times and bad]. He's heading to "rancho las brasas para empezarme a festejar" [the ranch Las Brasas to start celebrating] – sounds like a well-deserved party!
