Por Hay Cantando Lyrics in English by Tito Torbellino Jr
Contrincante translates to "opponent" or "adversary". It's a more formal and less common word than typical synonyms like enemigo (enemy) or rival.
In the context of the song, the lyrics state, "Vivía sin miedo de equivocarme ni tampoco al contrincante" (I lived without fear of making mistakes, nor of the opponent). This word highlights a sense of resilience and fearlessness in facing challenges, whether they are people or life's obstacles, making it an interesting and empowering choice.
Tito Torbellino Jr.'s "Por Hay Cantando" is a powerful story about his life, from humble beginnings to becoming a respected figure. He talks about the good times, the bad times, and the complicated parts, sharing how he grew up with the motto "esa pasta de sal y luz artesana en mi vida y mis apuestas" [that dough of salt and artisan light in my life and my bets]. He wasn't afraid to make mistakes or face opponents, which is why people called him "el cantante" [the singer].
He recounts working hard, even as an agricultural laborer, before finding a friend who helped him out. This led him to Culiacán, where he started making money. The song also touches on the dangers and losses in his life, referencing "la sal sonora ya no es igual" [Sonora salt is no longer the same] and remembering fallen friends. Despite the challenges, he remains firm and committed to his family and friends, always moving forward with his crew.
