El Inocente Lyrics in English by Grupo Marca Registrada
Abolengo refers to noble lineage or ancestry, suggesting a privileged background or inherited status. It's a more formal and less common word than simply saying
Grupo Marca Registrada's "El Inocente" is a corrido that refuses to pick a side of its own narrator. He opens by offering up his own story — "¿Quieren que cuente mi historia? Con gusto yo se las cuento" ["Do you want me to hear my story? Gladly, I'll tell it to you"] — then spends the song describing a life built from nothing after moving to the city, where he drinks and smokes without calling himself an addict and shrugs off being "tratan como basura" ["treated like trash"] by recycling himself. The song's turn is "Pero también muy culero, todo depende de la historia" ["But also a real jerk, it all depends on the story"] — he's not claiming innocence, just context.
He traces his edge to work rather than money he was handed: "Yo no soy hijo de papi, me esforcé por lo que tengo" ["I'm no daddy's boy, I earned what I have"]. The closing verses turn on the people around him, who smile to his face and stab him in the back, landing on "Aquí todo es competencia y te chingan si haces feria" ["Here everything is competition, and they screw you over the moment you make money"] — a corrido about staying standing once everyone else has picked a side.
