Empleados De La Mafia Lyrics in English by Abraham Vazquez
Sicarios translates to "hitmen" or "assassins". It's a strong and impactful word that immediately sets a serious and dangerous tone.
In the context of this song, it refers to the "sicarios de negro patrullando por el pueblo" (hitmen in black patrolling the town), highlighting the presence of organized crime and the dangerous environment depicted in the lyrics. This word is central to understanding the song's narrative about the mafia.
Abraham Vazquez's "Empleados de la Mafia" throws us right into the world of cartel life, seen through the eyes of someone on the inside. It's all about the new generation of enforcers, the "empleados de la mafia" [employees of the mafia], who are out patrolling in black hoodies. The song points out how they're different from the old guard, maybe not as respected, but still very much in control.
It talks about the dirty money, the "bolsa de lavada" [bag of washed (money)], and how these guys are always ready for action, keeping an eye out for the government. There's a real sense of loyalty and defiance, with lines like "esta raza es mi gente" [this race/people are my people]. It's a blunt look at a dangerous world, where enemies don't last long, and the mafia's presence is undeniable.
