Chingazos is a very colloquial and strong Spanish slang term that refers to 'blows' or 'punches', often implying a fight or a beating.
In the context of the song, the lyrics state, "A chingazos me tuvieron," which means they 'held me by force' or 'they beat me up'. It's a raw and impactful word that reveals the protagonist's tough experiences and the dangerous world he navigates, making it memorable and intriguing for learners.
Get ready to meet El P7! This corrido by Grupo Marca Registrada introduces us to a character who's all about his business. He tells us, "Señores, me les presento / Tal vez les suene el apodo" [Gentlemen, let me introduce myself / Maybe the nickname sounds familiar]. He's a hustler, always "buscando billete al modo" [looking for money in his own way], and many know him as "del Pollo" [the Chicken].
El Pollo is a mover and shaker, literally, as he mentions "Moviendo raites a USA" [moving rides to USA] and doing his own freighting. He's a calm guy, but don't get it twisted – he's got his "Glock nuevecita" [brand new Glock] if problems arise. He's also got his faith, trusting in San Judas and his Virgencita. When it's time to relax, he enjoys corridos by Compa' Jason, Black Label, and heading to Culiacán. He's also into horse racing and cockfights, always ready to place a bet. Despite some past trouble with the government, he's still out there, with his crew, including "Lobito diez" and his compadre, and a boss whose initials are AG. He's proud of his "gallo traigo en el pecho" [rooster on my chest] chain and reminds us, "Mi clave es P7 y soy el Pollo, vuelvo a recalcar" [My code is P7 and I am El Pollo, I repeat].
