CONTENTS SUMMARY
Difícil (Difficult)
Difícil hasta el último suspiro
Lobo negro
Gracias tristeza por hacerme, por darme lo que nadie me dio
Ápices de realidad en un mundo sin razón
Hard until the last breath
Black wolf
Thanks sadness for making me, for giving me what nobody gave me
Traces of reality in a world without reason

Difícil is a raw, street-poetic confession where Ambkor and Beret turn life’s blows into verses. From the opening line “Difícil hasta el último suspiro” they admit that existence can feel like a never-ending obstacle course: lost jobs, empty fridges, fading friendships and the aching search for purpose. Yet they also thank sadness for being the “perfect balance” that keeps them grounded. Over a reflective beat, the rappers flash vivid images of childhood laughter, school fights, and late-night dreams, reminding us that nostalgia and hope still glow beneath the rubble.

At its heart, the song is an ode to resilience. Ambkor and Beret recognize that we all carry invisible stones on our path, but they insist that attitude is everything: “La suerte es actitud, la vida un juego.” Music lifts them higher, even when self-doubt shouts the loudest, and they encourage listeners to rewrite the rules, escape the routine, and laugh again “like when we were kids.” “Difícil” celebrates being flawed yet unbroken, teaching us that pain can coexist with fire in the heart, pushing us to shine until the very last breath.

Para Siempre (Forever)
Elijo todo menos la verdad
Y ahora me falta el aire al despertar
Quiero caminar, quiero sentir que hay algo más que este vacío
Quiero sentir como sentía contigo
I choose everything except the truth
And now I lack air when I wake up
I want to walk, I want to feel that there is something more than this emptiness
I want to feel like I felt with you

AMBKOR's "Para Siempre" is a really honest look at the pain of a broken heart. The singer is struggling to move on after a relationship ended, admitting, "Elijo todo menos la verdad" [I choose everything but the truth] and how he misses the feeling of being with that person: "Quiero sentir como sentía contigo" [I want to feel how I felt with you]. He's caught in a cycle of trying to escape the sadness, even saying, "Me suben más las penas que estas copas, esa es la verdad" [My sorrows lift me more than these drinks, that's the truth], and he can't seem to close the wounds.

What really hits hard is his newfound skepticism about love. After being hurt, he's seen "tantos 'para siempre'" [so many 'forever's] turn out to be lies. Now, he prefers a more cautious approach, saying, "hoy prefiero un 'de momento seamos fuertes'" [today I prefer a 'for now, let's be strong'] and taking things "poco a poco" [little by little]. He's struggling to forgive and forget, caught between the doubt and the disaster, and even though he knows he should start over, he can't stop thinking about the person who broke his trust. It's a raw and relatable feeling of being let down and finding it hard to believe in love again.

Amor Consciente (Conscious Love)
Esta persona tiene mucho, muchas cualidades
Pero tiene estos defectos, ¿los podré cambiar?
Si los quieres cambiar, no es
El verdadero amor es nada que quitar, nada que agregar
This person has a lot, many qualities
But has these flaws, can I change them?
If you want to change them, it's not
True love is nothing to take away, nothing to add

AMBKOR's "Amor Consciente" is all about what true, mature love really means. He kicks things off by saying that if you're trying to change someone's flaws, that's not real love. Real love, he says, is "nada que quitar, nada que agregar" [nothing to take away, nothing to add]. It's about accepting someone completely, and if you're not getting what you deserve, then "coge tu abrigo y vete" [grab your coat and leave]. He knows it hurts, but sometimes walking away is necessary.

He makes a really interesting point: "Amar de verdad es sonreír al ver volar al que está en frente" [To truly love is to smile seeing the one in front of you fly]. It's about wanting the other person to be free and grow, not controlling them. He wants to share his time, but not out of fear of being alone. This is about "unir las consciencias" [uniting consciousnesses], where the most important thing is seeing the other person progress and develop, not just wanting to be loved. It's a powerful take on love, seeing it as a conscious choice to support and celebrate another person's journey.

Hoy Ha Salido El Sol (Today the Sun Has Come Out)
Si tú no me quieres, tendré que marcharme
Si tú no me quieres como yo te quiero, yo no quiero conformarme
Si tú no me quieres tal y como soy
Dímelo sin miedo y hoy mismo me voy
If you don't love me, I'll have to leave
If you don't love me the way I love you, I don't want to settle
If you don't love me just the way I am
Tell me without fear and today I'll leave

Have you ever been in a relationship where you give your all, but it just isn't enough? AMBKOR and She's "Hoy Ha Salido El Sol" [Today the Sun Has Come Out] is all about that painful realization. It's about reaching a breaking point and deciding to walk away when your love isn't reciprocated, or when you feel like you're losing yourself in the process.

The song really hits hard with lines like "Si tú no me quieres como yo te quiero, yo no quiero conformarme" [If you don't love me like I love you, I don't want to settle]. It's about the struggle of loving someone who seems distant, even when they're right there. The artists express the hurt of seeing the person you love change, becoming someone you don't recognize, as they sing "Si cuando te veo no eres tú, eres lo que te rodea" [If when I see you, it's not you, it's what surrounds you]. Ultimately, it's a powerful anthem about choosing yourself and moving on, even when it breaks your heart, because "Hoy ha salido el sol" [Today the sun has come out] and it's time to heal.

¿Por Qué Falla Todo El Mundo? (Why Does Everyone Fail?)
Yo'
El Lobo Negro, El Hombre de Oro
AMBKOR, ZPU
Yo'
I'
The Black Wolf, The Golden Man
AMBKOR, ZPU
I'

Have you ever felt like you keep giving your all, only to be let down? AMBKOR and ZPU perfectly capture that feeling in "¿Por Qué Falla Todo El Mundo?" [Why Does Everyone Fail?]. It's a raw look at the pain of repeated disappointment, especially when you've invested everything in someone or something.

The song opens with the artist reflecting on past failures, saying "Pensaba que podía volar y caí, no pude cargar con tanto" [I thought I could fly and I fell, I couldn't carry so much]. He's tired of suffering and constantly being expected to bounce back. He questions where all his enthusiasm and laughter have gone, wondering why he keeps giving his all only to end up "roto olvidando" [broken, forgetting]. It's a powerful and relatable anthem for anyone who's ever felt like they're stuck in a cycle of giving and getting let down.

Nudos (Knots)
Dejé de mirar las páginas del tiempo
¿De qué sirve que mañana salga el sol, si no brillo por dentro?
Si todo lo que veo es negro, como esta noche
Que solo trae reproches y remordimientos
I stopped looking at the pages of time
What's the point of the sun coming out tomorrow if it doesn't shine inside?
If all I see is black, like tonight
That only brings reproaches and regrets

AMBKOR's "Nudos" [Knots] is a powerful journey through the artist's inner turmoil and his desperate need for release. He's tired of living in the past, feeling like he's lost his dreams to fear, and constantly battling an internal darkness. He tells us, "Dejé de mirar las páginas del tiempo / ¿De qué sirve que mañana salga el sol, si no brillo por dentro?" [I stopped looking at the pages of time / What good is it if the sun rises tomorrow, if I don't shine inside?]. It's a raw confession of feeling overwhelmed by life, where even waking up feels like a war.

But this isn't just a song about despair; it's a declaration of rebellion. AMBKOR is done with holding back, with the "mil nudos que jamás desato por miedo a perder" [thousand knots I never untie for fear of losing]. He's ready to lose everything if it means finally being heard and being true to himself. He's tired of fake love and broken promises, and he's ready to untie those knots, one by one, to find joy and peace. It's a really honest and moving look at finding the strength to confront your fears and live authentically.

La Tormenta (The Storm)
Llegó ese día, puedo sentir las gotas
Ese día en que te hablan y sientes que se equivocan
El alma sigue ahí, pero está rota
No sé por qué se rompe si se esconde si la tocan
That day has come, I can feel the drops
That day when they talk to you and you feel like they're wrong
The soul is still there, but it is broken
I don't know why it breaks if it hides if they touch it

AMBKOR's "La Tormenta" [The Storm] is a really honest look at feeling lost and overwhelmed by life, even when it seems like everything should be fine. He talks about feeling "solo sin estarlo" [alone without being alone], like a shipwrecked sailor who's given up hope. It's that heavy feeling when you're waiting for a call that never comes, and all those unspoken thoughts just build up inside "hasta que te atropella" [until it runs you over].

He questions his own strength, wondering how he gets through so many tough days "sin mil pastillas, solo con ganas de verme sonriendo" [without a thousand pills, just with the desire to see myself smiling]. There's a real sense of nostalgia for childhood, missing his dad's tickles and the innocence of those days. The song really digs into the idea that life isn't a straight path, but "un sendero entre barrancos" [a path between ravines], and how unprepared we often are for the big leaps. It's a powerful song about facing your fears, the enormity of life, and how the rain can both break and seduce you.

Tenemos (We Have)
Tenemos que aprender a despedirnos
Tenemos que irnos sin querer irnos
Tenemos que aceptar que no nos quieren y además oírlo
Como cuando cuentan el final de un libro
We have to learn to say goodbye
We have to leave without wanting to leave
We have to accept that they don't love us and also hear it
Like when they tell the end of a book

AMBKOR's "Tenemos" is a really honest look at all the tough stuff we have to go through in life, but it also reminds us of all the good things we have. He starts by talking about how hard it is to say goodbye, even when we don't want to, and accepting when people don't want us. He says, "Tenemos que aprender a despedirnos / Tenemos que irnos sin querer irnos" [We have to learn to say goodbye / We have to leave without wanting to leave]. It's like reading the end of a book where you're the main character, and it hurts to know that even in your favorite story, things can go wrong.

But it's not all doom and gloom! After listing all the challenges—like losing loved ones, getting sick, dealing with unfair comparisons, and the daily grind of work—the song takes a beautiful turn. AMBKOR shifts to appreciating everything we do have. He lists so many wonderful things: "Tenemos el sol, la luna, el cielo" [We have the sun, the moon, the sky], the chance to know our grandparents, nature, music that makes us smile, and even simple joys like a warm blanket in winter or sharing a meal with loved ones. It's a powerful message about finding gratitude amidst the struggles, reminding us that even when life throws its worst at us, there's always something beautiful to hold onto.

Adiós (Goodbye)
Nunca me despedí
Te juro que ese día no encontraba las palabras para ti
Buscaba las exactas pero no las encontraba
Era como subir la ladera por donde hay lava
I never said goodbye
I swear that that day I couldn't find the words for you
I was looking for the exact ones but couldn't find them
It was like climbing the slope where there is lava

Have you ever struggled to say goodbye, even when you knew it was over? AMBKOR's "Adiós" perfectly captures that feeling of being tongue-tied in the moment, only to replay it all later. He admits, "Nunca me despedí / Te juro que ese día no encontraba las palabras para ti" [I never said goodbye / I swear that day I couldn't find the words for you]. It's a bittersweet look back at a past love, full of vivid memories like Christmas lights on Gran Vía and shared drinks, contrasting with the painful present where he's left looking at photos instead of his lover's eyes.

This song is a raw confession of regret and lingering affection. He never sent the goodbye letter he wrote, and he tortures himself over not being more expressive, wishing he hadn't been so quiet. "Hoy me torturo con eso / No puedo volver atrás pero escribirte alivia el peso" [Today I torture myself with that / I can't go back but writing to you lightens the load]. Even though the relationship is over, he can't imagine a happy place without her, repeating, "No conozco un sitio que me haga feliz / Que no vaya de tus piernas hasta tu nariz" [I don't know a place that makes me happy / That doesn't go from your legs to your nose]. It's a powerful, emotional journey through the aftermath of a love that ended, but whose presence still defines his world.

Viento (Wind)
Las palabras se las lleva el viento
A ti no se te lleva porque no tienes palabra, lo siento
Faltan honestos en esto, por cierto el
Rap no es una mierda para que lo tratéis tan mal con esos textos
Do the words are gone with the wind
They don't take you because you don't have a word, I'm sorry
They are lacking honesty in this, by the way
Rap is not shit for you to treat it so badly with those texts

AMBKOR's "Viento" is a powerful and honest track where he calls out fakes and celebrates authenticity. He starts by saying, "Las palabras se las lleva el viento / A ti no se te lleva porque no tienes palabra, lo siento" [Words are carried away by the wind / It doesn't carry you away because you have no word, I'm sorry], which is a pretty blunt way to tell someone they're not trustworthy!

He challenges the idea of being a "maestro" [teacher] and reminds us that "Nacimos para aprender no para mantener un sueldo" [We were born to learn, not to maintain a salary]. AMBKOR also criticizes those who judge others without understanding their struggles, especially when they're living easy with an "iPhone en la mano" [iPhone in hand]. He even jokes about feeling like he's in "Zombieland" because everyone is so lost. Ultimately, he's looking for real connection and passion, not just likes on social media, emphasizing that "Lo bonito es que te quieras tú sin tener seguidores" [The beautiful thing is that you love yourself without having followers]. He ends by talking about caring for his loved ones with actions, not just material things, because "amar es abrazar, no cubrirlos de oro" [to love is to hug, not to cover them in gold]. It's a real call for genuineness in a world that often feels superficial.

Verte Otra Vez (See You Again)
Ay
Hemos vuelto a hacerlo
Y tú no
Es lo que hay, dice
Oh
We have done it again
And you do not
It is what it is, he says

AMBKOR's "Verte Otra Vez" is a really honest and emotional look at a breakup, full of regret and longing. He's clearly struggling, admitting, "De nuevo ciego, de nuevo el puto ego de un cobarde" [Again blind, again the damn ego of a coward], suggesting his own actions and pride played a part in the split. He misses the small, intimate moments, like talking to her "como un niño chico" [like a little kid] or calling her 'Cosita' [Little Thing].

The song is packed with vivid details that show just how much he's still living in the past. He mentions her clothes are "Sigue habiendo ropa tuya en el armario" [There's still your clothes in the closet] and that he even smells them daily, knowing she doesn't love him anymore. He desperately wishes he could go back in time, repeating, "Ojalá pudiera volver / Ojalá poder retroceder hasta el ayer y / Verte otra vez" [I wish I could go back / I wish I could go back to yesterday and / See you again]. It's a powerful and relatable feeling of wanting just one more glimpse, even if it's just to see her and not speak.

Un Cualquiera En Cuarentena (Just Anyone in Quarantine)
Yo
Hace pocos días rechacé un abrazo
Y hoy mataría por dormir en tu regazo
A una calle de mi calle están tus brazos
I
A few days ago I rejected a hug
And today I would kill to sleep on your lap
One street from my street are your arms

AMBKOR's "Un Cualquiera En Cuarentena" [An Average Guy in Quarantine] is a really honest look at life during lockdown, especially from the perspective of someone in Spain. The lyrics are so relatable, starting with the immediate shift in priorities: "Hace pocos días rechacé un abrazo / Y hoy mataría por dormir en tu regazo" [A few days ago I rejected a hug / And today I'd kill to sleep in your lap]. He talks about the frustration of being so close to loved ones but unable to see them, like when he says, "A una calle de mi calle están tus brazos / Pero eso es mucho si no puedo dar dos pasos" [Your arms are a street away from my street / But that's a lot if I can't take two steps].

It's not all gloom, though. The song also highlights the unexpected connections formed, like smiling at neighbors he never noticed before, and the newfound appreciation for everyday heroes: "Los héroes de Marvel hoy se llaman enfermeras" [Marvel heroes today are called nurses]. There's a hopeful plea for things to change for the better after the quarantine, with the line, "Me entristece pensar que cuando esto acabe / Volveremos a no ver que lo importante es encontrarse" [It saddens me to think that when this ends / We'll go back to not seeing that the important thing is to meet up]. He's really using this time to reflect and change, promising to visit more and realizing that "el amor es evitar ver al abuelo" [love is avoiding seeing grandpa]. It's a powerful message about human connection and resilience, even from "un cualquiera en cuarentena" [an average guy in quarantine].

La Cabaña Del Árbol (The Treehouse)
Tal
Suelto cero
Como un niño que se aísla de la vida he
Construido una cabaña donde no existen
such
loose zero
Like a child who isolates himself from life, I have
built a cabin where none exist

Have you ever wished you could just escape reality and build your own perfect world? That's exactly what AMBKOR and Errecé explore in "La Cabaña del Árbol" [The Treehouse]. It's like a secret hideout for the soul, a place where all the hurts and disappointments of life just… don't exist.

Imagine a world where "la abuela no se ha ido todavía" [grandma hasn't left yet], where love never fades, and where you were never forced to "pasar página" [turn the page] on a relationship. It's a place where parents are happy, bullies never bothered you, and your grandpa still remembers your name and takes everyone out to eat "como hacían antaño" [like they used to]. In this treehouse, friends don't move away, and dreams stay alive no matter your age. It's a beautiful, almost heartbreakingly hopeful place where "mi tía sí que se salvó del cáncer" [my aunt did survive cancer] and no one is judged for who they love. It's a fantasy, sure, but as the song says, "se ve tan real desde aquí arriba" [it looks so real from up here]. It makes you wonder if maybe, just maybe, we all need a little treehouse in our minds.

Temblando (Trembling)
Hemos vuelto a hacerlo
Nacido para morir expresando
Dicen que sale un poco el sol cuando yo canto
Dicen que saco lo que estás guardando
We have done it again
Born to die expressing
They say the sun comes out a little when I sing
They say I get what you're saving

AMBKOR's "Temblando" [Trembling] is a powerful journey into self-discovery and resilience. He starts by saying, "Hemos vuelto a hacerlo / Nacido para morir expresando" [We've done it again / Born to die expressing], suggesting a recurring cycle of creation and vulnerability. He believes his music helps others express what they're holding back, saying, "Dicen que saco lo que estás guardando" [They say I bring out what you're holding back].

The song explores the pain of past relationships and the struggle to find happiness. He admits, "No es lo mismo quererse que ser felices" [It's not the same to love each other as to be happy]. AMBKOR also touches on themes of loss and legacy, making music so his presence isn't forgotten: "Hago música para que cuando sea yo el que falte no perdáis la mía" [I make music so that when I'm gone, you don't lose mine]. He challenges the idea of being alone, stating, "La soledad solo es bonita cuando es elegida" [Loneliness is only beautiful when it's chosen]. Ultimately, "Temblando" is about facing your inner demons, understanding yourself, and finding strength even when you're still "temblando" [trembling].
