BRUCE WAYNE Lyrics in English by Peso Pluma
Castigo translates to 'punishment'. It's a dramatic and powerful word that adds a dark, poetic layer to the song.
In 'BRUCE WAYNE', Peso Pluma sings, "Sigo vivo, será mi castigo" (I'm still alive, it will be my punishment). He uses this word to express a defiant irony: for the people who wish him ill, his continued life and success is their ultimate punishment. It's a memorable line that turns a negative word into a statement of strength and resilience.
Mexican superstar Peso Pluma turns up the swagger in "BRUCE WAYNE," dressing up his nightlife in pure Gotham billionaire energy. He steps out after staying in for a while and immediately packs the venue: "Desde hace tiempo ya no salía, y llené la casa hoy" ["I hadn't gone out in a while, and I filled the house today"]. From there, it is all high fashion and nocturnal flexes. He worries about dance partners stepping on his fresh "Christian Dior" kicks, flaunts unreleased "Maison Margiela" jackets, and brags that he does not even need a stylist to dress sharp ("No tengo estilista, pero qué chingón me visto" ["I don't have a stylist, but I dress so damn well"]). In Mexican slang, chingón means bad-ass or elite, and he owns it completely. When he cruises after dark in a Lamborghini, he feels like Batman himself: "Me siento Bruce Wayne porque en el Lambo ya me han visto / En las noches, como un vampiro" ["I feel like Bruce Wayne because they've seen me in the Lambo / In the nights, like a vampire"].
Yet under all the luxury cars and unread receipts ("ni me manden los recibos" ["don't even send me the receipts"]), a sharp bite of paranoia creeps in. Dressed in head-to-toe black with his chains out, he notices that fame has made people turn on him. He points out how fast crowds flip from idolizing someone to wishing harm on them: "Primero te aman y luego te odian / Deseando lo peor, la envidia y la muerte" ["First they love you and then they hate you / Wishing the worst, envy and death"]. Instead of letting the jealousy take him down, he chalks his survival up to fate: "Sigo vivo, sigo bendecido / Sigo vivo, será mi castigo" ["I'm still alive, I'm still blessed / I'm still alive, it must be my punishment"]. It is blunt, moody, and flashy all at once.
