Adultos Con Gorra Lyrics in English by El Chojin
Grullas translates to "cranes," referring to the elegant, long-necked birds. It's an unexpected and visually striking word to find in a rap song.
In the lyrics, El Chojin uses "grullas" in a metaphorical sense: "Mi depresión con vistas a la tuya / Nos vinculó de por vida como grullas." This suggests that their shared experiences with depression created a deep, lifelong bond, much like the strong, often lifelong pair bonds that cranes form. It's a unique and poetic way to describe a profound connection.
El Chojin's "Adultos Con Gorra" is a really honest look at growing up, facing challenges, and dealing with haters, all while staying true to yourself. He talks about how making mistakes has made him less arrogant, saying, "Fallar te hace menos arrogante" [Failing makes you less arrogant]. It's a journey from starting in parks to playing festivals, and he’s clearly proud of his dedication, calling it his "adicción es la dedicación culpable" [addiction is guilty dedication].
He also touches on the negativity he faces, especially from his neighbors who "no soportan que me vaya bien" [can't stand that I'm doing well], just because they see "adultos con gorra" [adults with caps]. It's a blunt and relatable take on how some people react to success and individuality. Despite the struggles, including battling depression, he's always looking for new inspirations and keeping his faith, even if it's a bit bruised from carrying his dreams. He's all about putting in the work, because "No creo en los regalos, ¿quieres ruido? Te lo curras" [I don't believe in gifts, you want noise? You earn it].
