La Que Se Fue Lyrics in English by codiciado, Santa Fe Klan, Pitt Blanco
Chingones is a Mexican slang term that refers to people who are tough, skilled, or impressive. It's a strong, informal word that conveys respect for someone's capabilities or resilience.
In the song, the line "Respeto pa' los chingones" (Respect for the badasses) highlights a theme of overcoming adversity and earning respect through experience. It's a word that adds a raw, authentic feel to the lyrics and is commonly heard in regional Mexican music.
"La Que Se Fue" starts with a ritual: a bottle, a cigarette, a guitar. Codiciado opens with "Una botella de tequila y un cigarro pa' entonarme" ["A bottle of tequila and a cigarette to get me going"], because tonight he wants "Que me canten otra vez la que se fue" ["them to sing to me again about the one who left"]. He's spending his nights with other women "con la excusa de olvidarte" ["with the excuse of forgetting you"], and by his own account it barely works.
The verses swing between bragging and confessing. He claims he's "curado de espanto" ["cured of being scared"] and "Bien puestos los pantalones" ["got his pants on straight"], tough talk that collapses two lines later into "Triste me quedo" ["I'm left sad"] and "Lloro en silencio" ["I cry in silence"]. The chorus keeps circling back to "Yo nunca te mentí" ["I never lied to you"], like honesty alone should have been enough. By the last thirty seconds Santa Fe Klan and Pitt Blanco show up just to shout "Puro Golden, Puro Codiciado, loco" ["All Golden, all Codiciado, crazy"], and the breakup song ends as a toast to the crew instead.
