Somos Arrieros Lyrics in English by Los Dos Carnales
Arrieros literally translates to "muleteers" or "herders". It refers to people who transport goods using pack animals, often through difficult terrain. It's a word deeply rooted in traditional rural life and not commonly found in everyday conversation or pop songs.
In this song, Los Dos Carnales use "somos arrieros" (we are muleteers) to convey a sense of resilience, hard work, and loyalty, likening themselves to these tough, dependable figures who navigate life's challenges with integrity. It's a powerful metaphor for their identity and values.
Get ready to hear a song that's all about staying true to yourself and remembering where you came from, even when things get good! Los Dos Carnales bring us "Somos Arrieros" [We Are Muleteers], a track that celebrates hard work and loyalty.
The lyrics talk about how everyone wants to make money, but not everyone is willing to "apostaré el pellejo" [bet their skin] for it. The singer remembers a time when he was just trying to get by, working in the cotton fields, and how he values the "buenos amigos" [good friends] who were there for him. He's blunt about it: "mi respeto no se compra con millones" [my respect isn't bought with millions]. Now that he's doing well, with "la moneda" [the money] flowing, he's firm in his stance and doesn't forget his roots or the people who stuck by him. It's a great reminder to stay humble and appreciate genuine connections!
