CONTENTS SUMMARY
TÓXICOS (TOXIC)
No vale la pena pelear, si sabemos que no vamos a dejarnos
Es mejor llevar la fiesta en paz, lo digo porque te amo
Sé que no quieres mirarme con otra
Y yo no quiero mirarte con otro güey
It's not worth fighting, if we know we're not going to let each other go
It's better to keep the peace, I say this because I love you
I know you don't want to see me with anyone else
And I don't want to see you with another guy

Calle 24's "TÓXICOS" is all about that intense, on-again, off-again kind of love that's a little bit wild but impossible to quit. The singer admits, "No vale la pena pelear, si sabemos que no vamos a dejarnos" [It's not worth fighting if we know we're not going to leave each other], which pretty much sets the tone! It's a relationship where they drive each other crazy with jealousy – he doesn't want her looking at other guys, and she doesn't want him with "otra piel" [another skin/woman].

It's funny how they go from seemingly hating each other to realizing how much they're in love. He even says, "A veces parece que nos odiamos / Y cuando lo hacemos, sé que nos amamos" [Sometimes it seems like we hate each other / And when we do, I know we love each other]. There's a bit of a power struggle too, like when he jokes, "A ver, presta el celular pa' revisarte todo el Whats / El mío no te voy a dar" [Let me see your phone to check all your WhatsApp / I'm not giving you mine]. Despite the drama, they just can't let go of that "amor tóxico" [toxic love]. It's a super relatable look at a passionate, messy, but ultimately unbreakable bond.

Que Onda (What's Up)
Baby, me vuelves loco
No se esperó al hotel y arriba del Merced
Mirándome a los ojos
Hazme tuyo otra vez, por última vez
Baby, you drive me crazy
She didn't wait for the hotel and up on the Benz
Staring into my eyes
Make me yours again, for the last time

This song is all about a secret, intense hookup. The whole vibe is about ditching the fancy stuff, like when he says, "no la lleve a Chanel" (I didn't take her to Chanel), and getting straight to the point. It's a very direct and physical connection, happening in the back of a car—"arriba del Merced" (on top of the Mercedes)—instead of waiting for a hotel. The relationship is clearly a secret, maybe even an affair. He tells her to "Contéstale a ese güey, dile que todo bien" (Answer that guy, tell him everything's fine) and to delete the evidence from their motel meetup.

What's really interesting is the contrast he sees in her. He calls her "el diablo hecho mujer" (the devil made woman) and a "Barbie, modelo porno" (Barbie, porn model), but in the same breath says, "aparte de todo tú eres niña bien" (on top of all that you're a good girl). It's this mix of a wild side and a 'good girl' image that drives him crazy. The song's title, "¿Qué Onda?" (What's up?), feels like a casual question that hides all this intensity, perfectly summing up what he calls "el amor de la calle" (street love).

SUIZA (Suiza)
Todo el día pegado al phone
Mandándote corazones
Me dicen: 'No te enamores'
Pero es tarde ya
All day glued to my phone
Sending you hearts
They tell me: 'Don't fall in love'
But it's already late

"SUIZA" is a bolero-style love song where the singer can't stop thinking about someone new. He's glued to his phone sending her hearts, and even though friends warn him not to fall too fast, he insists this one is different.

He promises to be devoted to her alone, dreams of making love and even marrying her in Switzerland, and pictures a future together once his tour ends. The song closes with a tender promise: he'll love her until the moon fades and every flower dries up.

It's a sweet, over-the-top declaration of love, the kind bolero is known for, dressed up in modern, phone-era romance.

Apaga El Cel (Turn Off Your Phone)
Mami, tú te tocas pensando en mí
De la noche en que te comí
Y yo me fui después de hacerlo en todas partes
Baby, dile que no sabes de mí
Mommy, you touch yourself thinking about me
Of the night I ate you
And I left after doing it everywhere
Baby, tell her you don't know about me

“Apaga El Cel” is a flirty confession of a hidden romance, delivered with the swagger of Mexican regional urban vibes. Calle 24 and Chino Pacas paint the scene of two lovers who can’t keep their hands off each other, yet must keep everything strictly after-hours. From whispered phone calls to steamy rendezvous “en todas partes,” the track captures the adrenaline rush of sneaking around while pretending to be strangers in public.

The repeated plea to turn off the phone is more than a catchy hook; it’s a survival rule in their secret playbook. By silencing notifications and rumors, the pair can dive into passion without the fear of jealous partners, gym-side gossip, or social-media receipts. The result is a song that celebrates the thrill of forbidden love—equal parts daring, danger, and desire—wrapped in Calle 24’s signature streetwise charm and Chino Pacas’ bold guest verses.

Noche Perfecta (Perfect Night)
Hoy es la noche perfecta
Ya alístese, mi reina, que hoy la sacaré a pasear
Quiero cantarle unas canciones, rozando sus labios
Que no se pueda resistir a quererme besar
Today is the perfect night
Get ready, my queen, because today I'll take you out
I want to sing you some songs, brushing your lips
So you can't resist wanting to kiss me

In "Noche Perfecta," Calle 24 lays out a detailed plan for a perfect romantic evening. The singer is determined to win over the woman he's addressing, whom he calls his "reina" (queen). His goal is clear: to make her fall in love with him like no one ever has before. He plans to take her on a tour of the city, sing her songs, and create a moment so romantic she won't be able to resist kissing him.

The song is a bold declaration of intent, filled with a mix of confidence and deep devotion. The singer playfully tells her to come closer, assuring her he doesn't bite... unless they're in private. But beneath the playful confidence, he's searching for "el amor... del real" (real love). He expresses his complete dedication by saying he's willing to be her "esclavo" (slave), her "mandadero" (errand boy), and even her fool, all in the hope of one day having her fall asleep on his chest.

ULTIMAMENTE (LATELY)
Últimamente me entra la loquera
Un chingo de viejas, y ninguna me llena
Dile a mi cora que ya no te quiera
Dice mi mamá que ni eras tan buena
Lately the craziness hits me
A sh*tload of chicks, and none satisfies me
Tell my heart that it doesn't love you anymore
My mom says that you weren't even that good

This song is all about a guy who is completely losing his mind over an ex. He opens by saying, "Últimamente me entra la loquera" (Lately, I'm going crazy) because even though he's with "Un chingo de viejas" (a ton of women), he admits "ninguna me llena" (none of them fulfill me). He's trying everything to get over her, including drowning himself in parties and even listening to his mom, who says "que ni eras tan buena" (you weren't even that good). But nothing works. He's still obsessed, especially now that she's with someone else.

The whole mood shifts from heartbreak to a kind of reckless confidence. He's drunk outside her place, telling her he wants her more now that she's "ajena" (belongs to someone else). He's convinced her new guy can't compare, saying "No te toca como te toco" (He doesn't touch you like I touch you). He even hints at secret photos they took together "Sin ropa en el Merced" (Without clothes in the Mercedes), promising not to show them. It's a messy, dramatic story about wanting what you can't have and the crazy things it makes you do.

Sin Evidencias (Without Evidence)
Como de costumbre voy de madrugada
Un ligero aliento de un buen Buchanan's
Traigo la camisa toda perfumada
Para ver qué nuevo pretexto me salva
As usual, I'm out 'til dawn
With a slight breath of some good Buchanan's
My shirt is all perfumed up
Let's see what new excuse will save me

Ever come home late and need a good excuse? In "Sin Evidencias," which means "Without Evidence," the singer from Calle 24 finds himself in this exact situation. He's returning in the early morning, his shirt smells like perfume, and he's been drinking whiskey. He knows he needs to be careful and leave no evidence, admitting his "experience is stronger than my conscience."

He then rattles off a list of increasingly wild excuses he's invented for his partner:

  • A meeting that ran late
  • A dead cell phone battery
  • A flat tire

And to explain a scratch on his back? He claims a cat jumped on him while he was changing the tire! After all this, he ironically tells his love to "sleep peacefully," insisting he's not unfaithful at all.

COMO ESTRELLA (LIKE A STAR)
La Luna me ilumina de noche
El camino es largo y eso lo sé
Más que preparado pa' los golpes
La visión es clara, me conoce
The Moon lights me up at night
The road's long and I know that
More than ready for the hits
My vision's clear, it knows me

Como Estrella shines like a late-night corrido of perseverance and swagger. Calle 24 and Fuerza Regida paint a nocturnal scene where the moon lights a long, uncertain road, yet the artists walk it with clear vision and unbreakable nerve. Their guiding light is a loved one who has passed away — “mi ángel en el cielo adorna como estrella” — reminding them why they keep fighting, why they stay “puesto pa' la guerra,” and why they refuse to live with hubiera (regret). Gratitude to God, loyalty to family, and patience in the hustle power every step they take.

In the second verse the vibe flips to bold self-celebration. Having removed the metaphorical “lentes,” the narrator sees he was always different: he enjoys weed, beautiful women, fast cars, and stacks of cash, but never loses sight of the battles that forged him. The song blends heartfelt tribute with streetwise bravado, delivering a message that life’s highs and lows are both part of the journey. Under the star of their guardian angel, they will enjoy the ride, face every fight, and keep shining just as brightly.

Ay Dieguito (Oh Dieguito)
Un glaseado en mi Gallardo y un polvo que hace cosquillas
Yo con unas pinches muecas, y las güeras risa y risa
Qué bonito
Ay, Dieguito
A glaze on my Gallardo and a powder that tickles
Me with some fucking grimaces, and the güeras laugh and laugh
how nice
Oh, Dieguito

Calle 24's "Ay Dieguito" drops us right into a wild night out, full of energy and a bit of mischief! The song kicks off with images of a "glaseado en mi Gallardo" [a glaze on my Gallardo] and "un polvo que hace cosquillas" [a powder that tickles], setting a scene of luxury and indulgence. Our main character, Dieguito, is having a blast, surrounded by "güeras risa y risa" [blondes laughing and laughing] and pulling "unos culitos" [some girls]. He's living it up, maybe a little too much, as the lyrics mention "superpoderosa nomás pa' loquear" [super powerful just to party] and "la verde, la rosa y azul pa' tomar" [the green, the pink, and blue to drink], hinting at various substances.

It's a fun, boastful look at a party lifestyle. Dieguito's mom isn't happy about him sneaking out, but he's got plans to "robar un día" [steal you one day] from her! He's got his style down, with a "New Era va de lado, la greñita larga al modo" [New Era hat to the side, long hair just right], sometimes elegant, sometimes "bien pinche cholo" [really damn cholo]. The song even gives a shout-out to his name, "No por nada mis papás me pusieron Diego Armando" [It's no coincidence my parents named me Diego Armando], connecting him to the legendary Maradona, known for his own wild ways. It's all about living large and having a good time, even if it means a few "pinches ojerotas" [damn dark circles under his eyes] the next day!

Mala Novia (Bad Girlfriend)
Le mientes a tus papás, que vas a trabajar
Sabiendo que te volé pa'cá nomás para culear
Le gusta portarse mal, le hace al OnlyFans
Me dice que no enseña de más
You lie to your parents, that you are going to work
Knowing that I flew you here just to fuck
He likes to behave badly, he does it to OnlyFans
He tells me that he doesn't teach too much

Calle 24's "Mala Novia" is a super blunt look at a complicated, secret relationship. The song describes a woman who tells her parents she's going to work, but she's actually meeting up with the singer "pa' culear" [to hook up]. She's into OnlyFans "pa' facturar" [to make money], and the singer says she's not a bad girlfriend, but rather that "Solo lo hizo porque él lo hizo también" [She only did it because he did it too].

It's a pretty wild ride, with lines like "La puse en cuatro a la loca" [I put the crazy one on all fours] and her answering her boyfriend "con culpa" [with guilt]. The song even mentions her getting surgery "Pa' quedar más buena" [to look better], but the "vacío todavía no se va" [emptiness still isn't gone]. It's a raw and honest portrayal of a relationship full of secrets and a bit of a rebellious spirit.

SOLO (Alone)
No, mi amor, no me valen madre tus sentimientos
Con esta canción te doy la razón
Que soy un pendejo pero, por favor
No me dejes solo
No, my love, your feelings are of no use to me, mother
With this song I agree with you
I'm an asshole but please
Don't leave me alone

Calle 24's "SOLO" is a super honest and a little wild look into someone dealing with a breakup. Our guy is definitely going through it, admitting, "No, mi amor, no me valen madre tus sentimientos" [No, my love, your feelings don't mean a damn thing to me] but then immediately begging, "No me dejes solo" [Don't leave me alone]. It's a funny, sad contradiction, right? He's trying to act tough but clearly heartbroken.

He describes himself as "bien loco desde el domingo" [really crazy since Sunday] and even calls himself a "pendejo" [idiot], showing he knows he messed up. To cope with being "solo, solo, como el perro, solo" [alone, alone, like a dog, alone], he's turning to drinking and other women, but it's not really working. He sings, "Muy bonita y todo, mas no son tus ojos, bebé" [Very pretty and all, but they're not your eyes, baby], which just hits you with how much he misses her. It's a raw, unfiltered confession of loneliness and regret.

MI ULTIMO DESEO (My Last Wish)
Me gustan los parties y las desveladas
Lunes a domingo y toda la semana
Me la paso alegre, disfruto la vida
Y así soy feliz hasta mi último día
I like parties and late nights
Monday to Sunday and all week
I have a happy time, I enjoy life
And so I am happy until my last day

Calle 24's "MI ULTIMO DESEO" is all about living life to the fullest, enjoying every single moment because, as the song says, "La vida es prestada y hay que disfrutarla" [Life is borrowed and you have to enjoy it]. The singer loves parties and staying up late, from Monday to Sunday, just having a good time. He's not scared of death, because he knows "nadie se escapa de nuestro destino" [nobody escapes our destiny].

So, what's his last wish? He wants his family to throw a huge party at his funeral! No crying, no tears, just "música de banda" [band music], some "loquera" [craziness], and a bottle of Buchanan's. He hopes to "seguir la parranda" [continue the party] in the afterlife. It's a fun, defiant take on mortality, celebrating friendship and good times right up to the very end.

EL SENTRITA (The Sentrita)
Pensaron que porque me vieron morro no le iba a jalar al cuerno
Nomás entré, llegué y les hice un cochinero
'Y ahí va de parte del viejos, les dejé escrito en la manta
Salí en verguiza en el Sentrita color plata
They thought that because they saw my nose I was not going to pull the horn
I just entered, I arrived and I made a mess of them
'And here it goes from the old guys, I left it written on the blanket
I left in shame in the silver Sentrita

Calle 24's "EL SENTRITA" throws us right into the intense world of a young person forced into a life of crime. The lyrics hit hard, like when he says, "Pensaron que porque me vieron morro no le iba a jalar al cuerno / Nomás entré, llegué y les hice un cochinero" [They thought because they saw me young I wouldn't pull the trigger / I just came in, arrived, and made a mess]. He's talking about his first time killing, and you can feel the weight of it in his throat: "Mi primera vez matando, se hizo un nudo en mi garganta" [My first time killing, a knot formed in my throat].

But it's not about wanting to be a criminal; it's about survival. He needed money for his family ("Pero mis carnales ocupan la papa" [But my siblings need food]), and the small amount he got, "cuatro mil quinientos," was more than he'd ever seen. He even questions God and apologizes to his mother for the path he's on. The song really drives home the idea that sometimes, when you're poor and no one helps you, you're left with no other choice. He even says, "Otra cosa hubiera sido si me hubieran ayudado / Cuando fui a pedir trabajo, pero nomás se sordearon" [It would have been different if they had helped me / When I went to ask for work, but they just ignored me].

SI ME VEN (IF THEY SEE ME)
Y aunque me ven que andamos bien
Que me va al cien
Ya tiene tiempo que ando en la quemazón
Ya tiene tiempo que salí del cantón
And although they see that we are doing well
That suits me a hundred
I've been on the burn for some time now
It's been a while since I left the canton

Calle 24's "SI ME VEN" is all about a guy who's been through a lot to get where he is, and he's not about to apologize for it. He's been hustling for a while, saying, "Ya tiene tiempo que ando en la quemazón" [I've been in the grind for a while now] and "Ya tiene tiempo que salí del cantón" [It's been a while since I left home]. He knows that to win, you have to lose, and he's not afraid of the game anymore. He's proud that the money he has is his own, earned through hard work, not given to him: "El billete que cargo es mío / Y sepan que nada fue regalado" [The money I carry is mine / And know that nothing was given away].

He's got his priorities straight, too. His mother's prayers keep him safe, even if her rosary is hidden: "Mientras mi madre me rece las cosas nunca me van a salir mal / Aunque el rosario vaya abajo de la camisa, me protege igual" [As long as my mother prays for me, things will never go wrong / Even if the rosary is under my shirt, it protects me just the same]. He's also pretty blunt about people who judge him, telling them to mind their own business: "¿Qué les importa mi vida? Enfóquense en la suya, a mí déjenme ser" [What does my life matter to you? Focus on yours, leave me alone]. He's not looking for anyone's understanding, just wants to do his own thing.

GALERIAS (Galleries)
Hoy se cumple un mes
De que ya no te veo
Que casi no te pienso
¿Qué estarás haciendo?
Today marks one month
That I don't see you anymore
I almost don't think about you
What will you be doing?

Calle 24's "GALERIAS" is a super relatable look at trying to move on after a breakup, even when it's clearly not going that well! The song kicks off with the singer admitting, "Hoy se cumple un mes / De que ya no te veo / Que casi no te pienso" [Today marks one month / Since I haven't seen you / That I barely think of you], but then immediately wonders, "¿Qué estarás haciendo?" [What could you be doing?], showing he's definitely still thinking about his ex. He's hurt, feeling like their late-night calls when she was anxious, "No fueron nada / Esas madrugadas" [Those early mornings / Were nothing], especially now that everyone is telling him she's "mejor sin mí" [better without me].

It gets even more honest when he talks about scrolling through his phone and finding an old photo of them, which gives him a "bajón" [a downer]. He admits he now has a whole "galería" [gallery] of other girls, but he still confuses them with her, even saying about one, "Con ese culito, la neta que 'I love you'" [With that little ass, honestly 'I love you'], only to realize it's not her. Ouch! He even mentions she won't accept his friend request on Instagram. It’s a raw, honest, and a little bit messy take on post-breakup feelings, where he's trying to forget but clearly still misses her, despite his attempts to move on.

YA ESTUVO BUENO (That's Enough)
Y en la noche, cuando te vayas
Ya no queda nada
Ya no queda nada
Puros pedos, puras mamadas
And in the night, when you leave
There is nothing left
There is nothing left
Pure farts, pure blowjobs

Calle 24's "YA ESTUVO BUENO" is a blunt, no-holds-barred breakup anthem that perfectly captures that moment when you've just had enough. Our singer is at his wit's end with a relationship that's gone sour. He's tired of the drama, the arguments, and the feeling of being taken for a fool. He sings, "Ya estuvo bueno que me esté viendo la cara de pendejo" [I've had enough of you making a fool out of me], making it clear he's done with the games.

Even though he admits she's "bien mamacita" [really hot] and that's why he still cares for her, he's reached his breaking point. He's fed up with her talking trash about him to his friends and ruining his good time, singing, "Que le hables a mi compas, que me amargues la party" [You talk to my friends, you ruin my party]. It's a relatable feeling of being stuck in a toxic cycle, where despite the attraction, the constant conflict has finally pushed him to say, "Ya no queda nada" [There's nothing left]. This song is all about drawing a line in the sand and choosing your peace over a chaotic love.

TOTO
Bien loco zumbando las calles
No existe nadie que nos pare
Solo Dios y yo le rezo
Disfrutando del proceso
Very crazy buzzing the streets
There is no one to stop us
Only God and I pray to him
Enjoying the process

Calle 24 brings us a track that's all about living life on your own terms, even if it's a little wild! He talks about "Bien loco zumbando las calles" [Crazy buzzing through the streets] and how "No existe nadie que nos pare" [There's no one who can stop us], except for God. It's a vibe of enjoying the journey and not being afraid, even when the big bosses ask him to sing and "que me cuelgue el pinche cuerno" [hang the damn horn on me] – a slang way of saying they want him to get wild and party.

He also reflects on his come-up, going from "muriéndonos de hambre" [dying of hunger] to now having "diamantes" [diamonds]. It's a blunt look at how much things have changed. And of course, there's the party life, with lines about having a "gata de copiloto" [cat as a co-pilot] and not really understanding what she's saying because he's "bien loco" [really crazy]. The song definitely has that confident, party-hard energy, moving "De cholos vagos a empresarios" [From vagrant cholos to businessmen] and enjoying the finer things, like "motita que fumo es de exporte" [the weed I smoke is for export]. It's a fun, no-holds-barred look at his world!

Serenita (Little Mermaid)
Tú tan mamacita
Ni un plato rompe, bien serenita
Te miras bien rica
Igualita a las fotos en Insta
You so mamacita
Not even a plate breaks, very serene
you look very rich
Just like the photos on Insta

Calle 24 and Jorsshh bring us a track that's all about a guy who's trying to balance his wild lifestyle with the idea of finding a good girl. He's met someone he calls "mamacita" [hot mama] who's "bien serenita" [very serene] and looks just like her Instagram photos. He even says he's "dejé el desvergue, refuego, las putas" [left the mess, the party, the prostitutes] for her, which is a pretty big claim!

But let's be real, he's still got a lot of his old habits. He admits to smoking weed, doing drugs, and having "varias noches que en mi cama las retaco de locas" [several nights where I cram my bed with crazy girls]. He even brags, "Yo me gané la fama de menearme lo malo y ganar mucha lana" [I earned the fame of moving bad things and making a lot of money]. So while he might be thinking about settling down, he's still very much enjoying the party life, waiting for "la buena" [the good one] to come along. It's a fun look at a guy who's a bit of a contradiction, trying to figure things out.

No Soy Pa Ti (I'm Not For You)
Tú cansada esperándome
Varios meses llorándome
Ay, espero que se acabe este desmadre
Que llevo dentro, dentro de mí
You tired waiting for me
Several months crying
Oh, I hope this chaos ends
What I carry inside, inside me

Calle 24's "No Soy Pa Ti" is a really honest and a little heartbreaking look at a relationship that's just not working, even when there's still love. The singer knows he's hurting his partner, who's been "cansada esperándome" [tired waiting for me] and "llorándome" [crying for me] for months. He's carrying a lot of internal conflict, a "desmadre que llevo dentro" [mess that I carry inside], and it's making him question everything.

He admits he's doing damage, "Te hago daño, lo sé" [I hurt you, I know], and even hurting himself by thinking about her. It's a tough spot because he's not sure if he'll ever really commit, saying "yo no sé si voy a volver" [I don't know if I'm going to come back]. He even tells her, "Ya no estés pa' mí" [Don't be for me anymore], encouraging her to be happy without him. It's a sad but very real song about knowing when to let go for everyone's sake, even if it's hard.

10 De Mayo (May 10)
Y otra vez no llegué a la casa
Pasan semanas y yo detrás del billete
Y otra morrita que no conozco realmente
Sería la que falló, otro carro diferente
And again I didn't make it home
Weeks go by and I'm behind the ticket
And another little girl that I don't really know
It would be the one that failed, a different car

Calle 24's "10 De Mayo" gives us a glimpse into the life of someone hustling hard, maybe a little too hard, to provide for their family. He's out chasing money, admitting, "Y otra vez no llegué a la casa" [And again I didn't make it home] and "Pasan semanas y yo detrás del billete" [Weeks go by and I'm after the money]. He's surrounded by superficiality, noting, "Y otra morrita que no conozco realmente" [And another girl I don't really know] and how "la morrita entre más guapa te envenena" [the prettier the girl, the more she poisons you]. It's a lonely path, where even if the bank accounts are full, "bien vacía la mesa" [the table is very empty].

Despite the tough reality, his motivation is clear: to make sure his mom never lacks anything. He sings, "Si quiero llegar al 10 de mayo / Pa' la reina llenar de regalos" [I want to make it to May 10th / To fill the queen with gifts] and "Pa' que a mi jefa nunca le falte el puto dinero" [So my mom never lacks the damn money]. He misses his old neighborhood and simpler times, saying, "Extraño el barrio, qué buenos tiempos" [I miss the neighborhood, what good times]. It's a raw look at the sacrifices made and the longing for home, all while trying to make a better life for those he loves.

HumAnoS InHumAnoS (Human Inhumans)
Hagamos el amor hasta quedar sin fuerza
De su sabor a cigarro, también a cerveza
A la mierda todo lo que de nosotros piensan
Riéndonos, fumando un gallo, imaginando estrellas
Let's make love until we run out of strength
Of its cigar flavor, also of beer
Fuck everything they think about us
Laughing, smoking a rooster, imagining stars

Calle 24 and EDDY bring us a song that's all about intense, passionate love, the kind that makes you want to throw caution to the wind! The lyrics describe a desire to make love until they're

NO PIERDO LA VIDA (I DON'T LOSE MY LIFE)
No sé dónde ando, pero ando feliz
Entre más fumo me olvido de ti
Un polvo me escurre de la nariz
La mueca chueca como mi existir
I don't know where I'm at, but I'm happy
The more I smoke, I forget you
A line runs down my nose
My grin's crooked like my existence

Calle 24 and Chuyin bring us a high-energy track about living life on your own terms, even if it's a bit wild! The song kicks off with a feeling of carefree abandon, as the singer admits, "No sé dónde ando, pero ando feliz" [I don't know where I am, but I'm happy] and uses distractions to forget a past love. There's a blunt honesty about their lifestyle, from quick money that's just as quickly spent ("Cae una feria, en corto se va a ir" [Money comes in, it'll be gone quickly]) to a bold confidence in their choices.

The chorus really drives home the main message: "Me vale verga si pierdo la vida / Disfruto a mi modo, no tengo medida" [I don't give a damn if I lose my life / I enjoy it my way, I have no limits]. It's all about living in the moment, with references to beautiful women and a constant upward trajectory ("Nada pa' abajo, pues puro pa' arriba" [Nothing down, only up]). The lyrics also hint at a dangerous, fast-paced world with mentions of "Fusiles de asalto" [assault rifles] and staying alert. It's a defiant anthem for those who live life without regrets, believing that "los locos nunca mueren" [the crazy ones never die].

El Carrito (The Little Car)
Apoyo de los grandes nunca me faltó
Y gracias a eso estoy donde ahora estoy
Crucé coca y mota, y no fue por error
Me hice de billetes, la ambición ganó
Support from the big shots never failed me
And thanks to that I'm where I'm at now
I crossed coke and weed, and it wasn't by mistake
I stacked up cash, ambition won

Calle 24's "El Carrito" is a really fun look at someone's journey from humble beginnings to success, and they're not shy about how they got there! The singer talks about getting support from important people, saying, "Apoyo de los grandes nunca me faltó" [Support from the big guys never failed me]. They admit to some risky business, like crossing "coca y mota" [coke and weed], and being driven by ambition to make money.

It's a story of overcoming poverty, with lines like "Le juré a la vida y al que me humilló / Que saldría de pobre y el sol me salió" [I swore to life and to whoever humiliated me / That I would get out of poverty and the sun came out for me]. You can feel the pride when they sing about buying their first car, "Con mi primer sueldo, me compré un carrito" [With my first salary, I bought a little car], and sending money home. Even though they didn't always follow the straight path, their parents were supportive, which is really sweet. And now, instead of just one car, they have five! It's clear they're grateful for their success, saying, "Todo me ha cambiado, le agradezco a mi Diosito" [Everything has changed for me, I thank my God]. They also joke about getting their dad "Muchas canas verdes" [many gray hairs] from coming home with red eyes, but still tell their mom, "Madrecita hermosa, le pido perdón / Sabe que la adoro aunque fui cabrón" [Beautiful mother, I ask for your forgiveness / You know I adore you even though I was a jerk]. It's a great song about remembering where you came from while enjoying the good life.
