Los Niños Lyrics in English by Grupo Codiciado

This song, "Los Niños," from Grupo Codiciado, is a shout-out to Tijuana, Mexico, right from the start! It tells a story about growing up there, where kids play barefoot at sunset while their parents work hard. The lyrics mention a lack of food and education, and even a lack of reasons to believe in God, which is pretty blunt.

But it's not all tough; the song also talks about the kids laughing no matter who they are. The singer spends his time smoking and watching the cars go by as the sun sets. He warns people not to judge if they haven't lived in a place like this, where people offer help but might be missing something deeper. Later, he talks about how different things are now, but he still misses his old neighborhood. When he drives through in his armored car, the kids recognize him, calling him "Codiciado" and making him proud to be from where he's from. It's a real look at life in Tijuana, with all its challenges and its strong sense of community.
