Get ready to ride along with Julian Mercado in "Dinastía De Valientes"! This song is a shout-out to a powerful and respected family, a "dynasty of the brave." It kicks off with a dedication to those who are no longer with us, remembering them fondly. Then, we're transported to Culiacán, where we see a procession of cars, with a lady by his side and the younger generation following close behind. You can almost see the shiny gun handles and hear the radios buzzing, hinting at a readiness for anything, even if there are no immediate problems.

Julian really emphasizes the importance of loyalty and strong connections, mentioning "amistades poderosas a lo largo ya lo ancho" [powerful friendships far and wide].

The song also has a really positive outlook on life, reminding us that "la vida es una sola para gozarla" [life is only one to enjoy it].

It’s a cool look into a world of strength, respect, and enjoying the fruits of your labor!

It sounds like he's building an empire, extending his market "poco a poco" [little by little] throughout his state.

It's all about moving forward and making your mark, even if you're not where you want to be yet.

The song talks about intelligence and hard work, with lines like "mientras las chambas sale yo soy capaz de ver no soy nuevo llevamos tiempo hay buena línea para esta piel" [while the jobs come out, I am able to see, I am not new, we have been here for a while, there is a good line for this skin].

It's all about enjoying the moment with friends and family, with plenty of drinks and good vibes.

They sing about working hard, "todos para trabajar" [everyone to work], but also about knowing how to relax and be happy. The lyrics, "solo se vive una vez hay que invertirle a la la pieza" [you only live once, you have to invest in the party], really drive home the idea of making the most of every opportunity to celebrate.

But he's not giving up! He's determined that "cuando la vuelva a mirar, voy a decirle todo" [when I see her again, I'm going to tell her everything]. He wants her to know "todo lo que yo siento aquí en mi corazón" [everything that I feel here in my heart]. He's so serious that he says "si pone condición voy a aceptar pero ahora ya estoy que muero" [if she sets a condition I will accept but now I'm dying]. He's ready to accept any terms, because he's absolutely smitten and can't wait to tell her how much he loves her.

This live recording from Guadalajara kicks off with a shout-out to "Edgar Guzmán." The singer needs "un trago fuerte para poderles cantar" [a strong drink so I can sing to you all], setting a somber tone. He remembers a "joven sencillo y sereno" [simple and serene young man] and how he saw him "nacer" [born] and "partir" [depart]. It seems like a tribute to someone gone too soon.

The lyrics then shift to a message for his mother, wanting to see her smile. He asks that when he is remembered, there should be no crying or parties, but rather "suenen descargas" [play gunshots] and his "corridos y canciones" [corridos and songs]. He mentions Río Grande as an example he couldn't follow, and expresses regret about not being able to say goodbye to his father and brothers. Despite the sadness, he feels proud to carry their blood, emphasizing that he is just "un eslabón" [a link] in a strong chain. It's a powerful song about remembrance, family, and carrying on a legacy.

Get ready to meet "Tercero Al Mando" (Third in Command)! This live track from Julián Mercado, featuring Michael Cruz, is a direct message from someone in a position of power. The lyrics tell us that a "comunicado Exprés" (express communication) has been sent, clearly stating who's in charge with a signature that includes a three. This person doesn't want to say too much to avoid getting "quemar más" (burned more), but they make it clear they are a person of their word and that "la orden nada me afa" (nothing stops my order).

He describes himself as having a "38 de la copita de oro edición especial" (special edition .38 gold cup) and being the "sombra de mi padre al caminar" (shadow of my father when I walk), referring to "el señor de Michoacán" (the lord of Michoacán). He demands respect, especially for the people, and warns that those who don't align will have no option. He's an observer, stating, "desde arriba miro todo y no les conozco el miedo" (from above I see everything and I don't know fear). It's a bold declaration of authority and loyalty, all wrapped up in a lively live performance!

Julian Mercado's "Como Te Olvido (En Vivo)" is a heartfelt cry from someone struggling to move on after a breakup. He's clearly hurting, noticing all the ways his ex has changed since they broke up. She doesn't get jealous anymore, she doesn't call him at night to chat, and she doesn't even ask their friends about him. He laments, "ya no me cela ni me hace me rinché ya no me llama en las noches para platicar" [she no longer gets jealous or throws tantrums, she no longer calls me at night to chat].

The singer is completely lost without her, asking, "cómo te olvido si fuiste mi vida" [how do I forget you if you were my life] and "cómo te olvido si eres mi aire" [how do I forget you if you are my air]. He can't imagine life without her, feeling her presence in every heartbeat: "sin cada latido Estás presente" [without every heartbeat, you are present]. He even dreams of a future where he'd love her "hasta que muera y si se puede en la otra vida Te seguiría amando igual" [until I die, and if possible, in the next life, I would continue loving you the same]. It's a powerful and emotional look at the pain of lost love and the struggle to let go.

Julian Mercado introduces us to "El Señor Talento" [Mr. Talent], a man with admirable talent and the scent of venison, riding with caution and care. This guy seems unstoppable, having achieved everything he's set his mind to. He's so good, the jail cell was too small for him, and now he's challenging the government for his freedom! It seems everyone has a price, and he's paid them all.

The song paints a picture of a powerful figure, someone who's been missed by people of all kinds. He's got his crew ready to work, but he gives them some blunt advice: "si van a contar dinero no lo hagan en donde hay hambre" [if you're going to count money, don't do it where there's hunger] and "si van a soltar la lengua Cuídense deleme grande" [if you're going to let your tongue loose, be careful of the big one]. He's a man who doesn't forgive, reminding us, "no me perdonan tampoco se perdona" [they don't forgive me, nor does he forgive himself]. He's not one for traditions or backing down, and just because he looks small doesn't mean he can be tamed. He's ready to enjoy life with his loyal people, and it sounds like a wild ride!

Julian Mercado's "A Mi Que Me Lleve El Diablo (En Vivo)" is a wild ride through the mind of someone absolutely heartbroken and fed up. Our singer is in a bad way, asking "QUE RAYOS ME PASA A MI QUE QUIERO LLORAR GRITANDO" [What the hell is wrong with me that I want to cry out loud?]. He's completely consumed by a love that's clearly no good for him, declaring "MALDITO SEA TU AMOR COMO TE ESTOY ADORANDO" [Damn your love, how I adore you].

He's hitting up "CANTINAS MUCHAS CANTINAS" [bars, many bars] and feels like he's hit rock bottom. But then, the person who left him comes back! He's torn, wondering "DEMONIOS QUE HAGO" [what the hell do I do?]. He can't see the point in forgiving or cursing them, so he just throws his hands up and says, "MEJOR TU VIVE FELIZ Y A MI QUE ME LLEVE EL DIABLO" [You'd better live happily, and may the devil take me]. It's a dramatic, relatable anthem for anyone who's ever been stuck in a toxic love cycle and just wants to be done with it all.

Julian Mercado's "El De En Medio" kicks off with a bold statement, letting us know this corrido is for "personas muy finas" [very fine people] and those who deserve it. He's waited "tantos años esperando su salida" [so many years waiting for his release], and now he's here, making some people nervous. This man is smart and has no patience!

Julian proudly declares, "Yo soy su hijo y yose que va con todo" [I am his son and I know he goes all in], referring to his father, who is "muy temido por gobierno y enemigos" [very feared by government and enemies]. We learn his father, "El Pelo Chino" [Curly Hair], even has a unique style for fighting. The song also mentions his brother, who is currently in prison, but they're waiting for him. The lyrics paint a picture of celebration with guitars, a band, and horses, always with a .45, which was a gift. Julian makes it clear, "soy hijo del Pelo Chino y yo no me ando con juegos" [I am the son of Curly Hair and I don't play games]. If you want to be his friend, great; if not, "aqui lo atendemos" [we'll take care of it here].
