Faena translates to "task," "chore," or "job," but it often carries a connotation of hard, laborious, or even unpleasant work. It's a word that evokes a sense of effort and struggle.
In the song, DELAOSSA uses faena to describe the daily grind and challenges of growing up in a humble neighborhood, specifically mentioning "una faena de sala" (a job in the living room), which could imply informal or difficult work done at home to make ends meet. This word paints a vivid picture of the working-class reality he experienced.
DELAOSSA and J.Mood's "Intro" is a shout-out to growing up in a humble, seaside neighborhood in Spain. The lyrics take us back to a time before fast food, when meals were "comida de plato hondo" [deep-dish food] and life revolved around the community. He remembers the local dances and how the neighborhood kids, not "los nicas de control" [the control freaks], set the trends. It's a nostalgic look at a childhood filled with street soccer and a sense of belonging.
The song also touches on the early days of making music, with lines like "grabando one shot eléctrico en el radio" [recording one electric one-shot on the radio]. It's about starting from scratch, with "sin medio ni presupuesto" [without media or budget], and putting their "plantilla en el campo" [team on the field]. This track is a proud declaration of where they come from and the journey they've taken, celebrating their roots and the hustle that got them here.
