Talego is a Spanish slang term for 'jail' or 'prison'. While it literally means 'sack' or 'bag', in this context, it's a common colloquialism, especially in urban music.
Morad uses it when he sings, "Tú vienes a verme al talego" (You come to see me in jail). This word is interesting because it's not a formal term, offering a glimpse into more informal, street-level Spanish vocabulary, and it highlights a gritty reality often depicted in his music.
