Los 4 Atentados
Grupo Escolta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
será que esa gente les falto cerebro
ya van 4 veces, que me les pelo
será que la muerte no ha llegado a tiempo...
Primer atentado fue en aquella guerra
en aquel villar me balacean
pero seguí vivo a pesar de la quema
Segundo atentado me levantaron
pero mi tío Manuel el ondeado
movió cielo y tierra y me rescataron
y llegue a mi casa vivito y coleando...
(Y andamos al chingazo compa Tony
pura Gerencia 3-60
y esto si es Grupo Escolta viejón)
Tercer atentado era en Sinaloa
ráfagas de cuerno de troca a troca
me dieron por muerto y de nuevo no tocan
pero a un compañero la vida le acortan...
El cuarto atentado después de mi fiesta
era mi cumpleaños y las balas llegan
no eran invitadas llegan de sorpresa
pero llegan tarde y de nuevo le jerran...
Yo soy un Torres que les quede claro
no soy de acero pero aquí andamos
no me quitan sueño ningún atentado
pues me cuida dios. y unas veces el diablo...
The lyrics of Grupo Escolta's song "Los 4 Atentados" describe the experiences of the singer, a man named Torres, who has survived four attempted assassinations. The first verse questions whether it is luck or fate that has allowed him to survive, and suggests that perhaps his attackers lacked intelligence. Torres then describes each of the four attempts on his life in detail. The first was during a war, where he was shot but survived and became stronger. The second saw him kidnapped, but his uncle "El Ondeado" rescued him. In the third incident, Torres was ambushed and presumed dead, but another member of his team was killed instead. The final attempt occurred at Torres' birthday party, but he escaped unscathed once again. The song ends with Torres asserting that he is a survivor and that neither God nor the devil can disturb his peace of mind.
This song is a classic example of narco corrido, a genre of Mexican folk music that often glorifies the lifestyle of drug traffickers and criminals. It reflects the violent realities of life for many people living in Mexico, where drug-related violence is commonplace. The song's opening lines are a nod to the fickle nature of fate and how quickly things can change in a violent world.
