El Empresario Lyrics in English by El Komander
Empresario translates to "businessman" or "entrepreneur". It's a key word in the song, as it's part of the title and the main character's self-identification.
In the context of this narcocorrido, "el empresario" isn't just any businessman; it implies a figure who has built a successful enterprise, often through illicit means, and commands respect and power. It's an intriguing word that hints at the complex and often dangerous world depicted in the lyrics.
Get ready to meet Beto, "El Empresario" [The Businessman]! This song is a bold introduction to a man who's seen some tough times but came out stronger. He sings about being "correteado" [chased] and even spending time in prison, but he makes it clear that "hoy es pagado" [today it is paid]. He's a survivor, and those experiences just made him more determined.
Beto is all about his roots and his family. He proudly declares, "tras el alto de jalisco corre sangre por mis venas" [through the heights of Jalisco, blood runs through my veins], showing his strong connection to his home. He's worked hard for everything he has, saying, "la cena tiene su precio y soy gente que me la rasgó" [dinner has its price and I'm people who scratched it for myself]. He's a man who enjoys life, with "mujeres, avanzar los corridos y los santos" [women, advancing the corridos and the saints] – a true Mexican spirit! He's also got a loyal crew from Jalisco who "nunca me dejaba con saben que el apoyo es grande saben que nunca me rajo" [never left me, they know the support is great, they know I never back down]. This song is a powerful statement of resilience, success, and loyalty.
