Engreído translates to "conceited" or "arrogant." It's a fantastic word to learn because it describes a personality trait that is universally recognized but often expressed with more common terms.
In this song, Cazzu repeatedly uses engreído to describe her ex-lover, who boasted about their intimate moments to his friends. She highlights how his arrogance led to his downfall, making it a central theme and a very memorable word in the lyrics.
Have you ever had someone spill your secrets after you both agreed to keep things quiet? Cazzu and ELENA ROSE are here to tell you exactly how that feels in "Engreído"! This song is all about a guy who couldn't keep his mouth shut, bragging to his friends about a night he spent with the singer. She thought it was a "gran idea" [great idea] to keep things private, but he went and told "todo, lo de la noche aquella" [everything, about that night].
Now, she's laughing at him because his bragging backfired! She sings, "Te pasó por engreído / Por alardear con tus amigos" [It happened to you for being conceited / For showing off with your friends]. His friends now want what he had, and she's become a "tentación" [temptation] because of his big mouth. She even says, "Tu ego es tu mayor castigo" [Your ego is your biggest punishment] – ouch! It's a fun, sassy take on someone getting what they deserve for being a bit too full of themselves.
