El Leon Lyrics in English by Grupo Codiciado
Arriendo literally means "rent" or "lease." While it might seem like an everyday word, its use in this context is quite unique and intriguing.
In the song, the lyric "Este vale un arriendo de arriba" can be interpreted as something being so valuable or significant that it's worth a 'heavenly rent' or a 'rent from above.' It suggests a profound, almost spiritual, value placed on a person or a memory, making it far more interesting than a simple financial transaction.
This song, "El Leon," is a heartfelt tribute to a lost friend, referred to as "mi niño" [my boy] and "este Rey loco" [this crazy King]. The lyrics are full of longing and memories, with lines like "niño como te extrañamos" [boy, how we miss you]. It really feels like the singer is talking directly to their friend, reminiscing about good times and how much they're missed by everyone.
The song paints a picture of a loyal and loved person. The singer remembers their friend's strong family ties, saying "porque mi padre es y mi madre lo sabía" [because my father is and my mother knew it] and how they always looked out for their parents: "siempre un cuido a su madre León cuida a su padre" [always cared for his mother, Leon cares for his father]. There are also mentions of fun times, like hanging out by the pool and bar until dawn, and the friend's generous nature: "todo lo mío es tuyo que ver gafas me decías" [everything of mine is yours, you would tell me]. It's clear this "León" was a significant presence, and the song is a beautiful way to keep his memory alive.
