Ready Lyrics in English by Nanpa Básico, SOG
Resorte translates to "spring," like a coiled metal spring. It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, Nanpa Básico uses it metaphorically in the line "La vida salta como un resorte" (Life jumps like a spring). This vivid imagery suggests that life is full of unexpected bounces and sudden changes, much like a spring that can compress and expand unpredictably. It's a creative way to describe life's dynamic nature.
"Ready" is Nanpa Básico and SOG's ode to hustle and staying prepared for whatever comes next. The hook, "Yo siempre estoy listo y Ready para armarlo" (I am always ready and ready to put it together), sets up the song's central image: growing your own supply and having it ready to go, captured in "Cultivo mi monte pa' luego quemarlo" (I cultivate my mountain to then burn it) and "El humo sube así no más" (The smoke rises just like that).
The verses turn more reflective, tracing the grind behind the confidence. "Lo he perdido todo menos el norte" (I have lost everything except the north) admits real setbacks while insisting on staying oriented, and "Usted me toca el piano y me brotan las ideas" (You play the piano for me and ideas sprout) credits collaboration for the creative spark. The song lands on gratitude: "Es por la música que tengo la nevera llena" (It's because of the music that I have a full fridge) and "Gracias a la música, la vida se nos puso buena" (Thanks to music, life became good for us) name music itself as what turned things around.
