El Diablo Lyrics in English by El Komander
Costales translates to "sacks" or "gunny sacks". While it might seem like an ordinary word, its use in this context is quite intriguing and less common in song lyrics.
In the song, the lyric "tengo en costales para comprar lo que siento" (I have in sacks to buy what I feel) suggests an abundance of something, perhaps money or resources, that can even be used to 'buy' or influence emotions. This metaphorical use of a tangible item like 'sacks' to describe an abstract concept like 'feelings' makes it a memorable and thought-provoking word.
This song, "El Diablo" by El Komander, feels like a peek into a very specific, confident lifestyle. The lyrics talk about how "entre nosotros veladamente publicitándolo están por la calle" [among us, they are covertly advertising it in the street], suggesting a hidden world that's well-known to those involved. The singer also mentions enjoying the beach, being "rodeado de mar" [surrounded by the sea], and having things "por montones" [in abundance] and "de sobra" [to spare]. It sounds like a life of luxury and comfort.
There's a strong sense of power and control here. The singer states, "yo lo tengo bien plantado" [I have it well-established], and later, "se acelera cuando se me mete el" [it accelerates when it gets into me], which is a pretty intense image! It seems like he's talking about a certain drive or spirit that takes over him, pushing him to do things. The repeated line, "por tantas cosas" [for so many things], hints at a lot going on behind the scenes, making you wonder what exactly those "things" are that fuel this lifestyle.
