They're lessons from an old man
And I never forget the advice
Even though the old man isn't here anymore
We have to f*cking grind
You've gotta hustle in life
To make enough for the tortillas
They're lessons from a wise man
Now I get why he had those calluses
He taught me to work
And I don't plan to let him down
I'm not gonna cross my arms
I'm not here for failures
Jump on the bull
Face life
You reach your goals
Never surrender
Don't let it go to your head
If one day you have it
Don't forget
Where you come from
Pull your weight for the family
Whenever you can, offer your help
And if you stumble, never bend
And always learn from mistakes
They're lessons, the old man told me
Son, so that you don't get stuck
They're lessons from a righteous man
He always showed me the right side
And where to walk
Watch where you step
So that the day you slip
You alone get up from the ground
Jump on the bull
Face life
Reach your goals
Never surrender
Don't let it go to your head
If one day you have it
Don't forget
Where you come from
Pull your weight for the family
Whenever you can, offer your help
And if you stumble, never bend
And always learn from mistakes
They're lessons, the old man told me
Son, so that you don't get stuck

chingar — to work hard / to bust one's ass

Chingar is a versatile and very common slang term in Mexican Spanish, often considered vulgar, but in this context, it means "to work hard" or "to bust one's ass."

In the song, the lyric "Le tenemos que chingar" (We have to work hard) reflects the gritty determination and work ethic passed down from an older generation. It's a powerful and authentic expression of resilience and the need to strive for a better life, even when facing difficulties.

Ulices Chaidez's "Las Enseñanzas" is a heartfelt tribute to the wisdom passed down from an older, wiser man – likely a father or grandfather. It's all about the lessons that stick with you, even after that person is gone. The song emphasizes the importance of hard work and perseverance, remembering the sacrifices made, like the 'callos' [calluses] that show how much effort was put in.

This song is a powerful reminder to face life head-on, chase your dreams, and never give up. Chaidez sings, "Bríncale al toro, Enfrenta la vida, Cumples tus metas, Jamás te rindas" [Jump the bull, Face life, Achieve your goals, Never give up]. It also stresses humility and remembering your roots, as well as the importance of family and helping others. And when things get tough? "Y si tropiezas jamás te dobles, Y siempre aprende de los errores" [And if you stumble never bend, And always learn from mistakes]. It's a really inspiring message about living a strong, principled life.
