10 De Mayo Lyrics in English by Calle 24
Desplayo is a less common, more colloquial verb that means to 'vent' or 'pour out one's feelings'. It's often used when someone is expressing deep emotions or frustrations.
In the song, the artist sings, "Y para olvidarme les desplayo," which translates to "And to forget, I vent to them." This word offers a glimpse into the character's coping mechanism, making it an interesting and emotionally resonant choice.
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.
