Vete Acostumbrando Lyrics in English by Larry Hernández
Arremangado literally means "rolled up sleeves," but in this context, it's used colloquially to mean "gotten to work" or "put in effort," often implying a readiness for a challenge or hard work.
Larry Hernández uses it to suggest he's been a busy man, perhaps even a bit of a ladies' man, but with the woman he's singing to, he wants to make an exception and settle down. It's a colorful and engaging word that paints a picture of his past while setting up his intentions for the future.
Get ready to meet a guy who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to show it! Larry Hernández brings us "Vete Acostumbrando," a song where he's laying all his cards on the table for the woman he's pursuing. He admits he likes "lo bueno" [the good stuff], and that's exactly why he's after her. He sees her as a "monumento" [monument] and he's ready to be her "hombre perfecto" [perfect man]. He's even willing to make an exception for her, moving from simple "tortillas" to a "platillo mejor" [better dish] when it comes to love.
He's not shy about telling her to "vete acostumbrando" [get used to it] because his love comes with a lot of personality! This means late-night serenades with a band so loud it makes the windows shake, even if the neighbors call the police. He wants her to get used to his "detalles" [details/gestures] and tells her to inform her parents they have a new son who will take their daughter "al cielo" [to heaven]. He's also upfront about sometimes coming home "pedo" [drunk], because that's when he'll truly say "te quiero" [I love you], admitting he has a "roca" [rock] in his chest. It's a bold, funny, and very direct declaration of love from a man who's ready to shake things up!
