Piso 64 Lyrics in English by Alemán, Gera MX
Bandolero literally translates to "outlaw" or "bandit." It's a word that evokes a sense of rebellion and a life outside the law, often associated with a romanticized, daring figure.
In this song, Alemán uses it in the line, "Mami, ven para mi calle, que me pongo bandolero." Here, he's not necessarily saying he's a literal criminal, but rather adopting a persona of someone tough, protective, and perhaps a bit dangerous, especially when it comes to his neighborhood or his love interest. It adds a layer of street credibility and a hint of a wild, untamed spirit to his image.
Alemán and Gera MX take us up to the "Piso 64" [64th Floor] to give us a look at their lives from the top! This song is all about their success, hard work, and loyalty. Alemán starts by telling us he's "viendo la ciudad de algún piso 64" [seeing the city from some 64th floor], which immediately sets the scene for a life of achievement.
He talks about his tight circle, saying "Mis amigos es familia, mi familia es loca, vato" [My friends are family, my family is crazy, dude], and how he built everything from the ground up, with scars to prove it: "Tengo golpes de por vida, ninguno salió barato" [I have lifelong scars, none came cheap]. He's getting calls for big contracts and living by a code of respect: "Como me mires, te miro, como me trates, te trato" [As you look at me, I look at you; as you treat me, I treat you]. There's a strong sense of national pride, too, with him "disparo para el cielo gritando, 'que viva México'" [shooting to the sky shouting, 'long live Mexico']. It's a powerful anthem about staying true to yourself while reaching for the stars.
