Mortifica translates to "mortifies" or "bothers." It's a strong verb that implies a deep sense of annoyance, shame, or even torment, going beyond simple bother.
In the song, the lyric "En este mundo hay en media pero no me mortifica" (In this world there is in the middle but it doesn't mortify me) suggests that despite challenges or negativity, the singer remains unfazed. It's an interesting choice of word that conveys resilience and a refusal to be deeply troubled by external circumstances.
Get ready to meet Fernando! This corrido is a direct introduction from the man himself, as he tells us about his life and values. He's a humble guy who likes to "volar bajito" [fly low], meaning he keeps a low profile and avoids trouble. He's all about loyalty, giving a hand to his friends without talking about fear.
Fernando isn't afraid of the ups and downs of life, saying "en este mundo hay en media pero no me mortifica" [in this world there's in between but it doesn't bother me]. He's grateful for what he has, especially his family: his son, who is always by his side, and his two daughters, who are his "delirio" [delirium]! He also gives thanks to his saints for protecting him, especially after three times he almost lost his life. Fernando's advice? "Hay que adorarle mas besos a avanzar paso a pasito" [you have to adore more kisses to advance step by step] and "estar siempre prevenidos" [always be prepared]. He's a straightforward guy, and by the end, you'll feel like you've just had a chat with him.
