Ni con hiervas ni con fe

Me enseñaron de pela'o, que Dios solo muestra un lado

Y se reza en inglés

De mi casa hasta unicentro, nunca tuve mucho tiempo

Presiento que este cuento no acabó

Disque rock en español

pela'o — kid / young person
Pela'o is a colloquial term, especially common in some Latin American countries like Colombia, meaning 'kid' or 'young person'. It's a shortened, informal version of 'pelado'.
In the song, the lyric "Me enseñaron de pela'o" translates to "They taught me as a kid." This word offers a glimpse into regional Spanish slang and adds a touch of authenticity and familiarity to the narrative of growing up in a specific time and place.
