Sometimes it's good not to know more

Sometimes it's good to go to work

Don't get along with anyone

And never trust another 'cause it's time to lay down

Words I always have to remember

'Get up' my mom told me

you have to trip

And learn along the way that you have to get up

My boys certainly know where they stand

They know well that the Sinaloan is a young backup

Whoever comes, we take him out

The one who crosses, we do not forgive him

And above Culiacán, Sinaloa, crazy

Pure Coveted, couple!

How I would like time to return

To be able to embrace that pillar

that got me through

And bless my way as I remember my mother

I'm not going to tell you much about me

Nor does it go to show off

my wife is important

And my children the reason why I get ahead

As I said and I repeat it, they have already been mentioned

I am a young Sinaloan, I tell you and I emphasize it

here we go

And whoever wins it, he counts on my hand

respaldo — support / backing

Respaldo literally translates to "back" (as in the back of a chair) or "support/backing". It's an interesting word because it can refer to physical support or, as in this song, moral and social support.

In "El De Culiacán", the lyrics state, "Saben bien que el sinaloense es un joven de respaldo" (They know well that the person from Sinaloa is a young man of support). This implies that the people from Sinaloa, and specifically the protagonist, are reliable and offer strong backing to their allies, highlighting a key cultural value of loyalty and solidarity.

Get ready to dive into "El De Culiacán" by Grupo Codiciado! This song is a powerful anthem about staying true to yourself, working hard, and remembering where you come from. The lyrics kick off with some blunt advice: "A veces es bueno no saber de más" [Sometimes it's good not to know too much] and "No quedes bien con nadie y nunca confíes en otro porque es tiempo de tumbarte" [Don't try to please anyone and never trust another because it's time to take you down]. It's a tough-love lesson about self-reliance and being wary of others.

The song also shares some really personal and heartfelt moments. The singer remembers his mom telling him, "'Levántate' me decía mi amá. Tienes que tropezarte y aprender en el camino que hay que levantarse" ['Get up,' my mom used to tell me. You have to stumble and learn on the path that you have to get up]. It's a beautiful nod to the strength and resilience his mother taught him. And he gives a shout-out to his roots and his crew, saying, "Mis muchachos ciertamente saben en donde están parados. Saben bien que el sinaloense es un joven de respaldo" [My boys certainly know where they stand. They know well that the Sinaloan is a young man of support]. He also makes it clear that his family is his driving force: "Mi esposa es importante y mis hijos el motivo por el que salgo adelante" [My wife is important and my children are the reason I move forward]. It's a song that's all about loyalty, family, and the grind!
