Anormales literally translates to "abnormals" or "unusual ones." It's an intriguing word that immediately grabs attention because it's not a typical term you'd expect in a song title or lyrics.
In the context of this reggaetón track, "Los Anormales" refers to a group of people who live life on their own terms, embracing danger, the streets, and a rebellious attitude. It signifies a crew that stands out and doesn't conform to societal norms, making it a memorable and defining word for the song's vibe.
Farruko opens ‘LOS ANORMALES’ with a direct come-on: ‘Oye, mami, a ti te encanta el reggaetón, aprovecha’ [Hey mami, you love reggaeton, take advantage]. From there it turns into a boast track dressed as flirtation. He and his girl aren't the couple that plays it safe: ‘Nos gusta el peligro, la calle y las llave'’ [We like danger, the streets, and the keys] sets the tone before the hook lands, ‘Baby, cuando salimos pa' la calle’ [Baby, when we hit the streets], ‘Los Anormales’ [The Abnormal Ones]. That's his crew's name too, La 167, and here it doubles as a claim about the two of them as a pair.
The middle stretch is pure flex: an AP watch measured against a Cartier, an AMG circling La Merced, even a Star Wars line dropped next to a Kobe Bryant reference, ‘Obi-Wan soy con el sable’ [I'm Obi-Wan with the saber]. None of it asks to be taken seriously; it's the sound of a good night and wanting everyone nearby to know it. By the closing verses the heat stops being a metaphor: ‘Ma, tú te estás calentando conmigo’ [Mama, you're getting heated with me], ‘la noche no va a ser larga’ [the night won't be long]. The song ends right where it started, on the way out the door.
