De La Mata Lyrics in English by Crudo Means Raw
Pechifríos is a Colombian slang term that literally translates to "cold-chested." It's used to describe someone who is a coward, lacking courage or conviction.
In "De La Mata," Crudo Means Raw uses this word to dismiss his detractors, calling them "pechifríos" and "frívolos" (frivolous). It's a colorful and impactful way to express disdain for those who lack authenticity or bravery, making it a memorable and culturally rich word to learn.
Crudo Means Raw brings us "De La Mata," a track that feels like a raw, unfiltered look into his world, straight from the source – "de la mata" [from the plant/bush]. He kicks things off with some pretty blunt imagery, talking about having "patas en la boca, en boca de patas" [feet in the mouth, in the mouth of feet], which sets a really confrontational and in-your-face tone. It's like he's saying he's not holding back, and he's ready to get real.
He then throws in some vivid, almost chaotic scenes, from setting up a grill and lighting a bonfire to spotting "honguitos que salen de las cacas" [little mushrooms that come out of poop]. It's a mix of everyday life and a bit of a wild, untamed energy. Crudo also takes shots at what he sees as fake or superficial, declaring "Crudo se cagó, se cagó en sus ídolos" [Crudo shit, he shit on his idols] and calling out "gígolos" [gigolos] and "pechifríos ahí, frívolos" [cold-chested, frivolous people]. He's definitely not shy about expressing his disdain for those he feels are not authentic. The song feels like a declaration of his own unique path, rejecting others' expectations and celebrating his own truth, even if it's a bit gritty and unconventional.
