It was very difficult in life to be able to overcome myself

I worked from sunrise to sunset in the lands of Culiacán

I jumped to Angelín, there I started working

I was just moving that suitcase with crystal

What times, those memories, I even went to Atlanta

I had to do everything because they saw me here

That's how I spent several days and had to endure it

Now I tell the story and laugh when I talk about it

Don't think it's easy

In life, you struggle

If now I have what I want

No one gave it to me for free

I just set an example with my trusted people

There's no violence in this line, we only work

And because I wanted it, I went for everything

Pure Codiciado, crazy!

Because I wanted it, I went for everything and because I want it, I go for more

I remember well, I was the kid studying in Culiacán

I didn't like poverty and I didn't want to endure it

And when I least expected it, I ended up at the border

That's how it all starts and it didn't start from here

So you know that the boy struggled to rise

My family comes first and I will never forget

That my mother is still the great pillar in the family

It's my signature, my word

Respect is earned

I look, observe, and learn

Today I stand among the elite

Big leagues for the games

For baseball, Los Tomateros

A plane to the border

And a passport for the fair-skinned people

Did you like this lyrics translation?

"El Disney" is a corrido about climbing out of poverty, told by someone who now finds his own past a little funny. It opens with long days working "de sol a sol en tierras de Culiacán" (from sunrise to sunset in the fields of Culiacán), then a jump north: "Me brinqué pa'l Angelín" (I hopped over to LA). Angelín is slang for Los Angeles, and chambear is Mexican slang for working. Be warned, the work is not innocent: he was "moviendo esa maleta con cristal" (moving that suitcase of crystal), and cristal here means crystal meth.

The chorus is the fun part for a learner. "No crean que son enchiladas" (don't think it's enchiladas) is a Mexican way of saying "don't think it was easy", and "Nadie me regaló nada" (nobody gave me anything) drives the point home. The second verse goes back to being "el morro que estudiaba en Culiacán" (the kid who studied in Culiacán; morro is northern Mexican slang for a kid), who hated being poor and ended up at the border. He keeps it personal too: his mother is still "el gran pilar" (the great pillar) of the family. The last lines are pure bragging, with a nod to Los Tomateros, Culiacán's baseball team, and a passport "para los güeros" (for the light-skinned guys). It is a blunt song, and it is honest about where the money came from.
