Guachín is an Argentine slang term for 'kid' or 'young person'. It's a colloquial and endearing way to refer to someone who is young, often implying a bit of street smarts or a humble beginning.
In the song, Rei uses it when he says, "de guachín hacía rifa'" (as a kid I used to do raffles), highlighting his journey from a young age in the neighborhood, hustling and making his way up. It's a word that adds a strong local flavor and authenticity to the lyrics, making it interesting for learners to discover regional Spanish slang.
Rei, Obie Wanshot, and Neo Pistea bring us a track that's all about coming up from nothing and making it big. The lyrics tell a story of hustle and success, starting from a time when they "Antes no tenía mucho de todo" [Before I didn't have much of everything].
They learned the ropes "en el barrio" [in the neighborhood], understanding "La-la cabida y la movida" [the scene and the movement]. Now, things are different: "ahora hay mucho de todo" [now there's much of everything]. They're clean in their outfits, always having "mucho, nunca sin" [much, never without]. It's a celebration of their journey, from being "desde abajo como un kiosco 24" [from the bottom like a 24-hour kiosk] to having everything they need, always ready for whatever comes their way. It's a real anthem for anyone who's worked hard to get where they are.
