Con Sangre Del Norte
El Gran Silencio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya le estamos dimos dando a puro trompos y patadas
El Gran Silencio no se anda con mamadas
Andamos repletos de sangre regiomontana
Gritando ¡guepa-guepa! de la noche a la mañana
Con sangre del norte, ¡con machaca y mitote!
La cumbia te pega en el mero corazón
Y si te prende el alma cuando suena el acordeón
La cumbia colombiana revuelta con rap
Cantando un bugui-bugui
En mi guitarra de Paracho, Michoacán
Puyeka, puyeka, puyeka (ulaka ula ula)
Puyeka, puyaka, puya (hey hey hey)
Puyeka, puyeka, puyeka (ulaka ula ula)
Puyeka, puyaka, saka (bigiri birigi bam bam)
El Gran Silencio is in tha flys mi pariente
A bailar aunque cueste lo que cueste
Y saca tu pareja, saca, sácala a bailar
Cuando toca El Gran Silencio todos vamos a gozar
Ya le estamos dimos dando a puro golpe de redoba
Tocando el bajo sexto y el acordeón
Bailando la polka hora tras hora
Cantando unos corridos del merito Nuevo León
Con sangre del norte, ¡con machaca y mitote!
Y si una guacharaca suena dentro de un camión
La cumbia te pega en el mero corazón
Y si te prende el alma cuando suena el acordeón
El Gran Silencio es la pura sabrosura
Tocando una canción que solo dura lo que dura
Y cantando raggamuffin norteño
Pásele pariente que esto es lo mero bueno
Everybody, dancing cumbia
Everybody, dancing now
Everybody, dancing cumbia
Everybody, rikacha
Chanki go home con la sangre mexicana
Aquí la cumbia no se acaba con la Tropa Colombiana
Suena, suena el acordeón, cumbia, rap y rock and roll
Cuando toca El Gran Silencio, ¡Jirigo, jirigo!
Puyeka, puyeka, puyeka (ulaka ula ula)
Puyeka, puyaka, puya (hey hey hey)
Puyeka, puyeka, puyeka (ulaka ula ula)
Puyeka, puyaka, saka (bigiri birigi bam bam)
Bigiri birigi bam bam
The lyrics to El Gran Silencio's song Con Sangre Del Norte depict a celebration of the cultural heritage and music of the northern region of Mexico. The opening lines of the song proclaim that they are no-nonsense, tough individuals who are full of "sangre regiomontana" (blood of Monterrey), and are not to be trifled with. They are unapologetically proud of where they come from and the way they live, and shout out "¡guepa-guepa!" in affirmation. The following stanzas continue to talk about the distinct music of the region, such as the "bajo sexto" and "acordeón" and the way the cumbia and rap genres blend with it to create a unique, joyous sound. The chorus encourages everyone to dance to the rhythm, and the song ends with a call to celebrate the convergence of different cultures.
