The word "enfierrado" literally translates to "ironed up" or "armored up," but in the context of regional Mexican music, especially corridos, it's a slang term meaning "heavily armed" or "carrying a lot of firepower."
It's an interesting word because it paints a vivid picture of someone ready for action, often associated with a lifestyle of power and danger. In this song, it sets a tone of strength and readiness, hinting at the protagonist's formidable presence.
Get ready to ride along with Los Minis de Caborca in "Enfierrado Ando"! This song is all about living the good life, Mexican ranchero style. The singer has a serious passion for horses, mentioning his "buen gusto por los caballos" [good taste for horses] and how they are "fina sangre" [fine blood]. He's a man who enjoys the finer things, like diamonds and a good time with a "bailadora" [dancer].
He's proud of his roots, saying "más sangre de rancho que la que traigo son de tecuala nayarit me vio nacer" [more ranch blood than what I carry, Tecuala Nayarit saw me born]. He's always working and generating, but also knows how to relax, like when he says "me prendo un gallo con humo al aire se va volando el estrés" [I light a joint, with smoke in the air, stress flies away]. It's a fun look into a life of hard work, enjoyment, and pride in where you come from.
