Sombrero De Lado Lyrics in English by Aldo Trujillo, El Tigrillo Palma

Aldo Trujillo and El Tigrillo Palma's "Sombrero De Lado" is a cool, confident track about a man who's made his way in the world. He talks about how he accepted what it takes "para ser un hombre grande" [to be a great man] and that he's "simplemente brillante" [simply brilliant]. He's not afraid to stand up for himself, saying if someone else tried to take what's his, "yo lo tumbó al instante" [I'd take him down instantly].

He enjoys the simple pleasures, like riding his horse through "pequeñas praderas" [small meadows] and the feeling of the wind. He mentions his "cintos piteados" [embroidered belts] and, of course, his "sombrero de lado" [sideways hat], which seems to be a big part of his style. He also reflects on past times, remembering "tiempos y entre las parcelas me puse contento" [times and among the fields I became happy], looking at the stars and the moon. It's a song about hard work, self-reliance, and enjoying life on his own terms.
