Días De Noche Lyrics in English by Gerardo Ortiz
Vendito is a less common, archaic form of "bendito," which means "blessed." Its unique spelling makes it stand out and adds a touch of traditional or regional flavor to the lyrics.
In the song, the artist uses it to describe the profound and sacred love for his child, stating, "El amor a una criatura pa' mí es vendito" (The love for a creature/child for me is blessed). This emphasizes the deep, almost spiritual value he places on fatherhood, especially while reflecting on his past actions and current imprisonment.
Gerardo Ortiz's "Días De Noche" is a really intense song about a person reflecting on their life after being imprisoned. The title itself, "Días De Noche" [Days of Night], sets the mood perfectly, showing how their world has been turned upside down. They talk about how "Los días se hicieron noches, Las noches, tristes reproches" [The days became nights, The nights, sad reproaches], which really gets across the feeling of regret and how time has lost its normal rhythm.
It sounds like they were betrayed, saying "Cómo fue que me agarraron Y mi nombre señalaron" [How they caught me And pointed out my name]. Even though they're facing years in prison, they're not backing down, vowing to leave their betrayers on a "lista mentada de mis muchachos" [mentioned list of my guys]. There's a strong sense of defiance, even as they acknowledge their own choices: "También hice lo que quise, pa' qué les cuento" [I also did what I wanted, why should I tell you]. But beneath that tough exterior, there's a deep sadness about missing out on their child's life, saying "El amor a una criatura pa' mí es vendito" [The love for a child is blessed for me]. It's a powerful look at consequences, regret, and a longing for what's lost.
