Corcel translates to "steed" or "warhorse." It's a more poetic and elevated term for a horse, often evoking images of nobility, strength, and adventure.
In the context of the song, the singer longs to return to his roots, mentioning "mi perro y mi corcel" (my dog and my steed). This choice of word adds a touch of romanticism and a sense of longing for a simpler, perhaps more heroic, past life back home, making it stand out from everyday vocabulary.
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.
