Pimp

pray, pimp

Pray, ’cause you don’t know

who can f*ck you over

Pimp

pray, pimp

All my boys

already know what’s good

Pimp, pray, pimp

Always well-mannered

mouthy when it’s time

Even if it’s tomorrow

and they empty a shorty on me

It’s

Cruzzi

I drive the girls crazy

I drive around shirtless

and score screamers in flip-flops

I think about my sister

and I look up

I press the gauze

against my belly

"Dude, don’t call an ambulance

grab some Termaldina

and cut the codeine

with cold water"

Hating is for weaklings

titans love a lot

so light a candle for me

this place is packed with fish

Hoops, junk cars

TNF

There’s no work and everybody

wants to be their own boss

I want what I deserve

no more, no less

My chain is plated metal

just for show

I want them to forgive each other

and tell each other "I love you"

I’m making it trendy

to love again

And even though I’m nobody

to tell anybody

how to hustle up their meal

this is for the ones who repent

like Jesus

For the ones that the drugs

left all schizoid

I love the ones who love me

as much as the ones who want me on the ground

I swear to you, brother

I don’t know if it’s the drugs or what

but there are loads of funerals

and hardly any weddings

we gotta do it the other way round

They killed Dailos

for hanging with who he shouldn’t

they killed Ayoze in the summer

and they still don’t know who it was

If you have something to tell me

when you tell me "see you"

except every Friday, man

’cause I go to the barber

except every Sunday, man

’cause I go see the santero

except every Monday, man

’cause I work to come first

"Jala!"

"Who goes there?"

"Dude, that one with the wings

I think it’s Cibi"

They see me all chilled out

wearing a Jesus piece

but I come down to get them with the speargun

for fishing if they want beef

I pray, I pray, I pray

and I go out for the cheese

coming at us is coming at

all of Tenerife at once

and if we’re sailors

and we meet on the sea

Yemayá is with me

in case I break my oar

fleje — a lot / plenty

Fleje is a colloquial term, particularly common in the Canary Islands (where Cruz Cafuné is from), meaning "a lot" or "plenty". It's a vibrant piece of regional slang that adds a unique flavor to the lyrics.

In the song, it appears in phrases like "los titanes aman fleje" (the titans love a lot) and "hay fleje entierro y poca boda" (there are a lot of funerals and few weddings), giving a strong sense of abundance or intensity to the situations described. Learning fleje offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich informal Spanish spoken in different regions.

"Amén" is Cruz Cafuné praying in his own way, and the prayer sounds a lot like Tenerife street talk. It opens with "Fiolo, reza fiolo" (dude, pray, dude), where fiolo is Canarian slang for a guy, and a warning: "Reza que no sabes quién te puede joder" (pray, because you don't know who can mess you up). He paints himself as "educadito siempre, contestón cuando toca" (always polite, mouthy when it's called for), driving "descamisao" (shirtless) and scoring "golazos en cholas" (great goals in flip-flops, cholas being the Canarian word for them).

Then it gets serious. There's a scene of pressing gauze against a stomach wound while a friend says not to call an ambulance, and a heavy line: "hay fleje entierro y poca boda" (there are loads of funerals and hardly any weddings). He names friends who were killed, Dailos and Ayoze, and admits his chain is "chapa bañada: puro postureo" (plated tin, pure show). The message he keeps returning to is softer than the setting: "Odiar es pa' flojitos, los titanes aman fleje" (hating is for weaklings, titans love a lot), and he wants people to forgive each other and say "te quiero" (I love you), "poniendo de moda amar de nuevo" (making love fashionable again). It ends at sea, with Yemayá, the ocean goddess of Santería, at his side. Tough and tender at the same time, and full of island slang to learn.
