El 701 Lyrics in English by Los Alegres Del Barranco
Talibanes literally refers to the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic political and military organization.
In this song, the artist uses it metaphorically to describe his loyal and formidable crew or associates. He compares himself to Bin Laden and his crew to "talibanes," implying they are a powerful, disciplined, and perhaps feared group that supports him. This word is striking because it draws a controversial parallel, making it memorable and unique in a song context.
Get ready to dive into "El 701" by Los Alegres Del Barranco! This song is a wild ride from the perspective of someone who's definitely not living a quiet life. The singer tells us he's on the "lista de los más buscados" [list of the most wanted] worldwide, and even compares himself to Bin Laden because he also has his "talibanes" [Taliban]. He's even been called "701" in a magazine about millionaires, but he says his real wealth is the "amistad de mi gente" [friendship of my people].
It gets even crazier when he mentions there's a 10-million-dollar reward for his head and his compadre's! He reflects on how hard life is, whether you're struggling or at the top, and how important it is to help people. There's a touching moment where he says if you lose a child, "nunca lo has de olvidar" [you will never forget it]. He also gives a shout-out to his crew, including "Mi compadre Mayo" and "Alfredo e Iván, que también son Guzmán." He doesn't even think he needs to say his name because it's already in Forbes magazine! This song is a fascinating glimpse into a dangerous, high-stakes world.
