Tal Para Cual Lyrics in English by Kid Flex, Charles Ans
Encargó comes from the verb encargarse, meaning "to take charge of" or "to be responsible for." It's an interesting word because it implies a deliberate action or a destined outcome.
In the song, the line "El karma se encargó que te toque alguien igual" (Karma made sure you got someone just like you) uses encargó to suggest that karma actively intervened to ensure a specific result. This gives the word a sense of fate and consequence, making it quite impactful in the context of the lyrics.
Have you ever felt like karma really came through? Kid Flex and Charles Ans explore that feeling in "Tal Para Cual" [Birds of a Feather]. It's all about watching someone who hurt you experience the same pain they inflicted, making you think, "El karma se encargó que te toque alguien igual" [Karma made sure you got someone just like you].
The song kicks off with Kid Flex making music, then getting a text: "Quiero verte" [I want to see you]. They meet, and she apologizes for how she treated him, but he just observes. Her current boyfriend is treating her badly and lying to her, and she realizes that "conmigo fue igual" [it was the same with me]. But instead of wishing her ill, he's found his peace, enjoying life, smoking peace, and dancing. He's moved on and is doing well, while she's now feeling the sting of karma. It's a satisfying, almost poetic justice, don't you think?
