El Gordo Lyrics in English codiciado
Get ready to step into the world of a corrido, a traditional Mexican ballad that tells a story. In "El Gordo," which translates to "The Fat One," the singer paints a vivid picture of a life filled with danger, loyalty, and power. The narrator, who goes by the nickname "Gordo," describes himself as a man who may look calm but is always ready for action. He's fiercely loyal to his boss, or "el jefe," and his crew, who he calls "bad demons but good people" who never back down from a fight.
This song doesn't shy away from the gritty details of his lifestyle. He mentions losing count of the guns he's fired and the illegal goods he's smuggled into the United States ("el gabacho"). The lyrics speak of starting from nothing, losing comrades in violent confrontations, and taking revenge on their enemies. Despite the constant danger, there's also a sense of pride and celebration. He calls for music from famous artists like Enigma Norteño and Lenin Ramírez, ready to party in the cities of Culiacán and Mazatlán, surrounded by beautiful women and his ever-present crew.
