Mi Madre Se Acuerda Lyrics in English by Fuerza Regida
Atrabancado is a colorful and less common word that means 'reckless', 'impulsive', or 'headstrong'. It perfectly captures a certain personality trait.
In the song, the artist sings, "Pero soy atrabancado y mi padre lo sabe" (But I'm reckless and my father knows it). This word immediately paints a picture of someone who acts without much thought, which is a key part of the narrator's character and journey in the song.
This song from Fuerza Regida is a really personal look at growing up and chasing big dreams. The singer remembers being a kid, walking with his mom, and dreaming about owning "Las casas, los carros" [The houses, the cars]. He even told his mom, "Que yo lo iba a comprar" [That I was going to buy it], and she still remembers that!
It's cool how he talks about not everyone believing in him when he was young: "De morro nadie iba a pensar / Que estos sueños quería lograr" [As a kid, no one would have thought / That I wanted to achieve these dreams]. But he's got a strong will, saying "soy atrabancado" [I'm headstrong]. He even admits to taking some "Malos pasos" [Bad steps] as he got older, but he learned to get back on track with a "fuerte mentalidad" [strong mentality]. Now, he's made his parents happy with what he's achieved, promising "Nunca les fallaré" [I will never fail them]. It's a great story about staying true to your dreams and your family.
