Did you like this lyrics translation?
calavera — skull / wild person
Calavera literally means "skull." However, in Spanish slang, it can also refer to a wild, rebellious, or even reckless person, someone who lives life to the fullest without much regard for consequences.
In this song, the lyrics describe the male character as a "punk del Restrepo" and later state, "Y él, que fue tan calavera, se volvió un santo de veras." This shows a transformation from a rebellious, 'wild' youth to a more settled, 'saintly' person, highlighting the dual meaning and evolution of the character.
