Conste, I looked for him as far as I could and things didn't work out

What do you do if you hear 'We're hungry' and you don't have a penny in your bag?

I sold the little I had to complete the trip

Being that staying on the road was going to be the most likely

With great faith I asked the one above that the path be short

I also looked for a thousand excuses among the borders and no way

In a backpack a pair of tennis shoes, dreams, my mother's prayers

I said 'It's right now, all or nothing' and we moved forward

And I went four days without water, on foot

Thank God I arrived, now I know what I'm coming for

To make money to help my parents there

And I went ahead like that, without speaking English

I started from nothing

I know, it will take a long time to see them again

That's life, but a thousand times I prefer

Let them miss me, let them suffer for money

And there goes countryman

Eden Muñoz is his friend

Ajay, old man

And I went four days without water, on foot

Thank God I arrived, now I know what I'm coming for

To make money to help my parents there

And I went ahead like that, without speaking English

I started from nothing

I know, it will take a long time to see them again

That's life, but a thousand times I prefer

Let them miss me, let them suffer for money

aventé — I threw myself / I dove in

Aventé comes from the verb aventarse, which literally means "to throw oneself". However, in Mexican Spanish, it's often used idiomatically to mean "to take a risk," "to go for it," or "to dive in headfirst" into a challenging situation.

In this song, the artist sings "Y me aventé cuatro días sin agua, a pie" (And I threw myself in / took the risk, four days without water, on foot). It perfectly captures the spirit of taking a huge, dangerous leap of faith to pursue a better life, making it a powerful and culturally rich word.

Edén Muñoz's "Me Aventé" tells a powerful story of sacrifice and determination. It's about someone who leaves everything behind to seek a better life for their family.

He sings about trying his best, but things not working out: "Conste, le busqué hasta donde pude y no salieron las cosas" [Believe me, I looked everywhere I could and things didn't work out]. He sells what little he has to make the journey, even though it's incredibly risky. He travels for four days without water, on foot, and without speaking English, all to make money for his parents. It's a tough choice, but he'd rather they miss him than suffer from poverty: "mil veces prefiero que me extrañen a que sufran por dinero" [a thousand times I prefer that they miss me than that they suffer for money].
