Nicolas Meza Lyrics in English by Tito Torbellino Jr
Desangrado literally translates to "bled out" or "blood loss". It's a stark and impactful word that immediately conveys a sense of danger and urgency.
In the context of this narcocorrido, the word is used to describe a violent situation, likely referring to someone who has been severely injured or killed. It's a powerful word that stands out and hints at the intense narrative within the song, making it intriguing for a learner.
This song, "Nicolas Meza," by Tito Torbellino Jr. tells a dramatic story from the perspective of someone in a dangerous situation. It opens with a frantic scene: "9 12 92 para el avión si contesta por radio es para desangrado adentro de un márquez blanco indicó para nicolás y ya no puedo contestar" [9 12 92 for the plane if he answers by radio it's for bleeding inside a white Marquis indicated for Nicolas and I can no longer answer]. It sounds like a code or a date, leading to a serious injury and a desperate call for help, but the person can't respond.
The lyrics then describe the use of "cascos de alto calibre" [high-caliber helmets] and mention a place called "puente tierra blanca" [white earth bridge]. The song gets really intense when it says, "así se murió a mí me bólico la mesa" [that's how he died, the table hit me]. It seems to be about a violent confrontation, possibly related to money, as the song states, "el dinero de por medio cuántas vidas han llegado a veces porque las cobras sabes es por no pagarlo" [money in between, how many lives have arrived sometimes because you know you collect them, sometimes for not paying it]. The song ends with a heartbreaking farewell, "ni tiempo de despedirme de mi madre y mis hermanos así santiago te cargo mis hijos lo más sagrado yo soy junto con mi padre y lisa luis eduardo vamos" [no time to say goodbye to my mother and my brothers, so Santiago I entrust my children, the most sacred, I am with my father and Lisa Luis Eduardo, let's go]. It's a powerful and intense narrative about loyalty, danger, and the ultimate sacrifice.
