Acerté Lyrics in English by Aldo Trujillo

Ambicionar translates to "to covet" or "to aspire to." It's a strong verb that goes beyond simply wanting something; it implies a deep, often intense, desire to achieve or possess.

In the context of the song, the artist sings about the "hambre de ambicionar" (the hunger to aspire), indicating a powerful drive to achieve his dreams and transform into the person he envisioned. This word captures the ambition and determination central to the song's narrative of overcoming challenges and succeeding.

Aldo Trujillo's "Acerté" feels like a heartfelt look back at his journey. He starts by saying he's going to tell us about the things he had to keep quiet about, mentioning "el día de la bicicleta" [the day of the bicycle] and "noches cartas para avasallar" [nights of overwhelming letters]. It sounds like he's reflecting on his childhood, remembering playing soccer with his friends and enjoying simple moments. He makes it clear that he comes from a good family, saying "de familia no hay mal educado porque los valores de la riqueza que me dio mi hogar" [from family there is no ill-mannered person because of the values of wealth my home gave me].

But it wasn't all easy. He talks about the "hambre de ambicionar" [hunger to be ambitious] and wanting to become what he dreamed of. He kept his dreams in his backpack from a young age, and now he doesn't regret the choices he made, saying "hoy no me arrepiento es lo que hacerte" [today I don't regret it, it's what I had to do]. He feels like life has tested him, but he's endured. Now, he's enjoying the stage, feeling "dichoso me siento premiado" [blessed, I feel rewarded]. It's a song about growing up, facing challenges, and ultimately finding success and happiness in what he's achieved.
