Del 1 Al 10 Lyrics in English by Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho
Curtido literally means 'tanned' or 'cured' (like leather), but in this context, it means 'hardened' or 'experienced'. It's a vivid word that suggests someone who has been through a lot and gained wisdom from it.
In the song, it's used to describe someone who has become tough and discerning through life's challenges: "Llegando al número 9 debes de estar bien curtido para saber diferenciar los corrientes" (Reaching number 9, you must be well-hardened to know how to differentiate the common ones). This word captures the essence of resilience and street smarts.
Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho bring us a song about the journey to success, counting from one to ten. It's all about starting from scratch and pushing through the tough times. They sing, "arrancaremos de cero y así este punto lo aumentó" [we will start from zero and thus increase this point], emphasizing that you have to go through the struggle to get ahead.
The song describes the different stages of this journey. Numbers one to four are about the grind, the sleepless nights, and the battles. Five is a pause, a moment to reflect, because six is a tough fight where some want to see you fall. Seven is the reward, the weekend, a time to change your sweaty shirt because you've worked hard. By nine, you're seasoned enough to tell the difference between the fake and the real, those who helped you and those who didn't. And when you hit ten, that's when you've reached your goal, your triumph, with your sword (or effort) as your guide. It's a real anthem for anyone working towards a dream!
