Así Soy Lyrics in English by Santa Fe Klan
Bandolero translates to "outlaw" or "bandit". It's a powerful word that often evokes romanticized images of rebels and gunslingers who live by their own code.
In "Así Soy," Santa Fe Klan uses this word to define his identity: "Soy un bandolero, en la raya me muero" (I'm an outlaw, I'll die on the line). He's embracing a life outside the norm, proud of his roots and his rebellious spirit. This word perfectly captures the song's raw, unapologetic attitude.
Santa Fe Klan's "Así Soy" is a straight-up declaration of who he is and where he comes from. He's not apologizing for anything. The song lays out his life in the barrio (neighborhood): making music with his DJ, partying until sunrise, and dealing with the constant presence of police sirens. He's proud of his identity, which is tied to the streets. He says it plainly: "De la calle soy y en ella moriré" (I'm from the street and in it I will die).
He's completely committed to this life, repeating over and over, "Así soy yo y no cambiaré" (This is how I am and I won't change). He describes his crew as "perros... bravos y... sin cadena" (dogs... fierce and... without a chain) and warns outsiders not to test them. It's a life of loyalty to his friends, smoking weed, drinking beer, and turning his problems into poems and songs. He's living on his own terms and has no plans to stop.
