CONTENTS SUMMARY
Para No Verte Mas - En Vivo (So I Won't See You Anymore - Live)
Cuando no tengas dónde ir
Cuando te sangre la nariz
Cuando te duela la cabeza
Y se termine esa cerveza
When you have nowhere to go
When your nose bleeds
When your head hurts
And that beer runs out

"Para No Verte Más" is a fiery breakup anthem that turns heartbreak into liberation. Over a raw live performance, Honorables and Carin León paint a cinematic picture of an ex who will eventually crash and burn: the nosebleeds, the empty beer, the melted airplane wings. All these vivid images show the inevitable downfall of someone who once caused pain. Meanwhile, the singer stands firm, ready to rip the photos and burn the letters—symbolic acts that erase the past and break every lingering tie.

Beneath the rebellious attitude lies a hard-won acceptance. The narrator realizes that it is too late to return or even to dream about what once was. By lighting a cigarette and moving on, he chooses self-respect over nostalgia. The song is a cathartic shout of "I am done" that encourages listeners to drop the weight of toxic relationships and keep flying—even if someone else’s wings melt along the way.

Para Que Regreses - En Vivo (So You'll Come Back - Live)
Y sale por ahí, para que regreses, mamacita, ay
Que no encuentres un amor tierno y sincero
Que cada hombre que aparezca en tu camino sea un estúpido
Que solo usen tu cuerpo
And you head out there, so that you come back, babe, oh
That you don't find a tender, sincere love
That every man that crosses your path is an idiot
That they only use your body

Do not be fooled by how warmly this is sung. Almost the whole song is a list of curses aimed at an ex: may you never find a tender, honest love, may every man who turns up be an idiot, may they ignore you when you apologise, may you cry night after night with nobody there to comfort you. It is petty, theatrical, and recorded live with a crowd that is clearly enjoying every word of it.

The reason arrives in the title, para que regreses, so that you come back. Then the last wish gives him away completely: ojalá que nadie te ame como yo, half a curse and half a confession. Proud on the surface, wounded underneath, with Carin León's voice pushing it over the top. For a learner it is a fast tour of que plus the subjunctive, since almost every line uses it to wish something on somebody.

Sublime Mujer - En Vivo (Sublime Woman - Live)
Y para todas las mujeres chulas, a ellas como las quiero
Dice, vámonos
Porque tengo en la vida más de un amor me juzga la gente
Porque no he respetado las leyes que rige nuestra sociedad
And for all the cool women, how I love them
Says let's go
Because I have more than one love in my life, people judge me
Because I have not respected the laws that govern our society

In this passionate live performance, the singer offers a bold confession and a heartfelt tribute all in one. He declares himself a man who can't be tied down to just one person, admitting that society judges him because he has "more than one love." It's not a choice, he argues, but simply his nature—he was "born to love" the "sublime woman."

This isn't just an excuse for being a ladies' man; it's a song of deep admiration. The singer sees women as powerful, magical beings who hold the secret formula to provoke "tenderness, passion, and madness." He feels he is a willing "slave" to their charm, surrendering completely to the being he calls the "most beautiful." Ultimately, his love is rooted in gratitude, as he sings, "it was a woman who gave me life / that is why I bless you, blessed woman."

Contigo O Sin Ti - En Vivo (With You Or Without You - Live)
Para que
Para que llorar un rio
Si tú corazón no es mío
No hay derecho ni razón
What for
Why cry a river
If your heart isn't mine
There's no right or reason

“Contigo O Sin Ti – En Vivo” is an uplifting break-up anthem wrapped in a classic Mexican sound. The singer looks straight at a love that is slipping away and says, essentially, “Why drown in tears if your heart is not mine? I can still chase happiness.” Instead of blaming or begging, he recognizes that their shared dreams were only illusions, and he chooses to move forward without resentment.

The chorus is the song’s bright declaration of freedom: “I am going to be happy, with you or without you.” He has already suffered enough, has finally learned how to forget, and is ready to search for “another flower.” The message is clear and contagious: let go of what hurts, wish the other well, and decide to celebrate life—no matter who stays or goes.

Cariñito De Mi Vida - En Vivo (Sweetheart Of My Life - Live)
Cariñito de mi vida, dime adiós porque me voy
No te quiero ver llorar
Ya no tardaré en volver
Aunque yo me vaya lejos, no te dejo de querer
Little darling of my life, tell me goodbye because I'm leaving
I don't want to see you cry
I won't take long to come back
Even if I go far away, I won't stop loving you

Get ready to press play on a heartfelt serenade that feels like a handwritten love letter that crossed deserts and cities just to reach you! In Cariñito De Mi Vida - En Vivo, Mexican singer Honorables joins forces with Carin León to turn a bittersweet goodbye into a pulsating promise. The narrator may be stepping onto a distant road, yet every line bursts with devotion: he tucks his lover’s photo close to his heart and pledges to write every single day, so she never doubts his love.

The song paints tender images that grow like the flowers she will water in his absence—symbols of their relationship patiently waiting to bloom. He dreams of returning to cut that vibrant bouquet himself and carry her to the altar, a living reminder that distance cannot uproot true affection. Even when he contemplates the possibility of never coming back, he asks for prayers instead of tears, wanting his memory to live on quietly inside her heart. Wrapped in lively acoustic energy, this live rendition transforms longing into encouragement, proving that faith, hope, and love can echo louder than miles.

Arcoíris De Papel - En Vivo (Paper Rainbow - Live)
Y sale por ahí, para todos los hermanos latino americanos
Establecidos en la unión americana, va para ellos
Con mucho cariño, dice así compadre
Y puro honorables
And this goes out there, for all the Latin American brothers
Settled in the American union, it goes for them
With lots of love, it goes like this, buddy
And just Honorables

Arcoíris De Papel – En Vivo is a heartfelt shout-out to every Latin American who once packed a suitcase, crossed the border, and chased the glittering American Dream. The singer remembers the very day he left home, fueled by big hopes and the promise of “a paper rainbow” – an illusion of quick success and easy riches. A year has passed, the rainbow never turned real, and every memory of his mamá waving a white handkerchief or the taste of his hometown sunshine now cracks his voice with nostalgia.

Rather than glorifying escape, Honorables and Carin León flip the spotlight onto what really matters: family, friends, a loyal dog, and the freedom of riding a horse back on familiar soil. The song becomes a bittersweet anthem for all who realize that true color and happiness are found not in distant dreams but in the vibrant rainbows waiting at home. It is a lively, accordion-laced reminder that sometimes the richest treasure is the place—and the people—you left behind.

Tu Ingratitud - En Vivo (Your Ingratitude - Live)
Ya soporté tu ingratitud
El filo de tu fría crueldad
Y me aguanté porque yo respeté tus sentimientos
Pero por favor, respétame también
I've put up with your ingratitude
The edge of your cold cruelty
And I held back because I respected your feelings
But please, respect me too

Tu Ingratitud – En Vivo” is an emotional showdown between pride and heartbreak. Over a fiery banda arrangement, the narrator looks straight at a former lover and says, in essence, “I swallowed your indifference, now swallow my pain.” He congratulates her on finding someone new, yet warns her not to flaunt it in his face. What sounds like a polite farewell quickly turns into a simmering threat: if she keeps provoking him, he might seek revenge for every icy cut she delivered.

Beneath the bravado, though, lies raw vulnerability. His heart is still “prendido” – caught in the flames her absence left behind – and he begs for a little time to accept that she is gone for good. The song captures that messy middle ground after a breakup when pride clashes with lingering love: you want to look strong, you want respect, but you also need space to heal. Honorables and Carin León turn this universal tug-of-war into a rousing, tequila-soaked anthem that balances swagger with genuine hurt.

Cuéntame Tus Penas - En Vivo (Tell Me Your Sorrows - Live)
Llorando vengo a decirte
Que no me tengas piedad
Llorando vengo a decirte
Que me hables con la verdad
Crying, I come to tell you
that you don't have pity on me
Crying, I come to tell you
that you speak to me with the truth

Grab your tissues and get ready for a heart-squeezing serenade! In “Cuéntame Tus Penas – En Vivo,” Honorables and guest vocalist Carin León pour out raw emotion as they beg a loved one to lay every sorrow on the table. The singer arrives in tears, pleading for absolute honesty: Tell me what you truly feel so I can know whether happiness is even possible for me. This live rendition amplifies every quiver in their voices, making the confession feel as if it is unfolding right in front of you.

At its core, the song is a vow of unconditional devotion. The narrator promises to console every pain, to celebrate the other’s joy even if it hurts, and to suffer – even die – in sync with their beloved’s heart. It is a powerful illustration of selfless love, where the greatest wish is simply to see the other person happy, no matter the personal cost. Listen closely, and you will hear both the ache of longing and the hope that honesty might finally set their intertwined souls free.

Ni En El Mundo Te Hago - En Vivo (I Don't Even Notice You - Live)
Andas contando que sin ti no valgo nada
Que me dejaste y que mi vida termino
Ya no recuerdo ni tu nombre ni tu cara
Mi corazón ya sin sentirlo te olvido
You're going around saying that without you I'm worthless
That you left me and that my life ended
I no longer remember either your name or your face
My heart already, without feeling it, forgot you

Ni En El Mundo Te Hago is a bold, brass-tinted declaration of emotional comeback. The singer’s ex has been bragging that his life is worthless without them, yet he counters with swagger: he barely recalls their name or face. We hear about the valley of pain he crossed — tears, sleepless nights, and a “bitter drink” of heartbreak — only to emerge stronger, wounds closed and spirit calm.

With Ranchera grit and a hint of playful irony, Honorables and Carin León transform sorrow into triumph. The empty “nest” left behind is now filled by a new love, proving that no misery lasts forever and the sweetest revenge is inner peace. By the final chorus, the ex no longer exists ni en el mundo — not even in his world.

Con Olor A Hierba - En Vivo (With The Smell Of Grass - Live)
Y dice compadre
Recordando a Chaga, compadrito, dice
Vámonos
No te salgas de mis brazos
And he says, compadre
Remembering Chaga, little buddy, he says
Let's go
Don't leave my arms

Con Olor A Hierba invites us to sneak away to a secret patch of countryside where two lovers give in to an afternoon of pure, earthy passion. As Honorables and Carin León trade verses, the pair in the story lie among the grass, wishing to melt into the landscape itself. The singer begs his partner to stay locked in his arms, comparing his embrace to gentle chains while he explores every detail of her body “paso a paso.” Nature becomes both stage and accomplice: sun, stars, and the cool night air all mark the passing time, yet the world beyond their meadow is kept at bay.

Beneath the sensual imagery beats a tender idea: moments this intense cannot last forever, so they savor each second until twilight forces them apart. When they finally rise, they will leave with nothing but memories—and the lingering scent of grass on their skin—as proof of their hidden rendezvous. The song celebrates that bittersweet mix of freedom, secrecy, and overwhelming desire that only a stolen moment in nature can bring.
