Callejero Y Mujeriego Lyrics in English by Calibre 50
Mujeriego translates to "womanizer" or "ladies' man". It's a descriptive and somewhat provocative word that immediately tells you a lot about the character being described in the song.
In "Callejero Y Mujeriego," the singer uses it to describe himself, stating, "Me conociste borracho, Callejero y mujeriego" (You knew me drunk, a street hustler and a womanizer). This word is key to understanding the song's narrative about a man who is unapologetically himself, despite his partner's complaints.
This song is a funny, rough breakup from the guy’s point of view. The narrator is a hard‑drinking, street guy who admits what he is: “Me conociste borracho, callejero y mujeriego” [“You met me drunk, a street guy and a womanizer”]. He’s basically telling his girlfriend, “You knew exactly who I was, so why the drama now?” When she threatens to leave, he doesn’t beg her to stay. Instead, he throws out lines like “Vete al diablo y dile al diablo que allá lo estaré esperando” [“Go to hell and tell the devil I’ll be there waiting for him”], turning the breakup into a mix of insult and dark humor.
At the same time, he’s very clear about what he cares about: his drinking, his freedom, and his stuff. He tells her to “Déjame pistear tranquilo” [“Let me drink in peace”] and only asks her to leave his clothes ironed, the “radio pininfarina” [his nice car stereo], the truck keys, checkbook, and cash: “Y las llaves de mi troca, la chequera y los billetes que sacaste de mi bolsa” [“And the keys to my truck, the checkbook, and the bills you took from my pocket”]. That’s darkly funny and also pretty cold. By the end, when he repeats “Vete pero vete lejos para no volverte a ver” [“Go, but go far so I don’t see you again”], it feels like he cares more about his next party than about losing her. It’s Calibre 50 at their most blunt: a guy choosing booze, the streets, and his ego over love, and not even pretending otherwise.
