Cacho A Cacho Lyrics in English Estopa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cacho A Cacho by Estopa from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
We break out of jail, we slam it into first
Deep Purple on the boom box, all four tires screech
We set the pace, we break the ice
We don't pay any mind to the signs from the sky
That we don't have cash, so we sleep a while
Because sleeping doesn't spend, it comes out way cheaper
We devour the night chunk by chunk, gram by gram
We wind the car up and we don't make it to tomorrow
Chorus 1
Life in a minute doesn't go by that fast
Just in case I enjoy it, run 'cause it makes me laugh!
Speed up a little more
Because I'm zoning out and we're going too slow
And speed up a little more
Run faster than the poison I carry inside
And speed up a little more
Drown the brake pedal in your lagoon
And speed up a little more
Well, let me think
What a thought!
Verse 2
We travel aloft on plasticized bodies
We keep the throat asleep because it hasn't woken yet
We drop our gaze, the sunlight burns us
But nothing happens because we've still got material left
For conversation, don't be a smart*ss
The solution's look ahead and pay attention to the road
That you hold the wheel and that's the most important
Look ahead, look ahead
We suffer consequences that everyone expects
We have no patience and we come unhinged
Our skin is iron, our eyes are leather
The laugh, the dog's one, tense like steel
Chorus 2
Life in a minute doesn't pass that fast
Just in case I enjoy it, run 'cause it makes me laugh!
Speed up a little more
Because I'm zoning out and we're going too slow
And speed up a little more
Run faster than the poison I carry inside
And speed up a little more
Drown the brake pedal in your lagoon
And speed up a little more
Well, let me think
What a thought!
What a thought!

SONG MEANING

Estopa rev up the engine of rebellion in "Cacho a Cacho", inviting us to jump into a battered car, crank up Deep Purple, and tear through the night with empty pockets and zero regrets. The brothers paint a vivid scene of friends fresh out of metaphorical “jail,” ignoring every heavenly sign while literally eating the darkness “cacho a cacho, gramo a gramo”—chunk by chunk, gram by gram. With screeching tires and laughter that grows louder than common sense, they remind us that sleep is cheap, money is scarce, and the only real luxury is squeezing every drop of adrenaline from the present moment.

The repeated cry “¡Acelera un poco más!” is both a rallying shout and a warning. Racing faster than the veneno that brews inside, they celebrate the raw thrill of living on instinct while slyly acknowledging the dangers: sun-burned eyes, frayed nerves, and consequences waiting around the bend. Yet even as they urge the driver to keep eyes on the road—“llevas el volante y eso es lo más importante”—the song refuses to slow down. Ultimately, "Cacho a Cacho" is a high-octane ode to youthful freedom: a reminder that life does not always speed by in a single minute, so you might as well laugh, floor the gas, and taste it piece by piece.
