Acelerado Lyrics in English by Virlan Garcia, Lefty Sm

Bandolero literally translates to "outlaw" or "bandit." It's a word often associated with folk tales and historical figures, making it quite evocative and less common in everyday conversation.

In this song, the artist proudly declares, "Orgulloso bandolero," meaning "Proud outlaw." This self-identification highlights a rebellious and defiant persona, embracing a life outside conventional norms, which is a key theme in many corridos.

Virlan Garcia and Lefty Sm's "Acelerado" throws you right into the fast lane with a character who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's all about his business, riding in a convoy, "Enfierrado en el convoy" [hardened in the convoy], with radios to keep everyone connected, ready for whatever comes. He's got his crew, his weapons, and a mission to execute.

This song is a blunt look at a life of illicit dealings, where the protagonist is always moving, always exporting, whether "Por la sierra o la ciudad" [through the mountains or the city]. He talks about making money, "aprendí a generar billete" [I learned to make money], and how his family is his top priority, a lesson from his dad. It's a high-octane track about being a "bandolero" [outlaw] who's proud of his hustle and his Mexican roots, especially being "del norte" [from the north].
