María Barracuda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a pesar de reinar la ley del oeste.
I come from the land
of the macho man
y las putas y los narcos
y los cholos y mojados,
es mi forntera tan violenta
Acá en el norte la vida sigue,
a pesar de reinar la ley del oeste.
You don't have to be over 21,
to drink all that you can
and fuck with who you want.
Welcome to the town of the lost souls,
the lonely, the drugs
and the beautiful, beatiful girls.
Acá en el norte la vida sigue,
a pesar de reinar la ley del más fuerte.
Es mi ciudad, don't let me down.
I love my town.
'Cause Ciudad Juárez is the number one.
Es mi ciudad, donde hay lealtad.
Amo ese lugar.
'Cause ciudad Juárez is the number one.
Number one, number one, number one.
Es mi ciudad, don't let me down...
These lyrics are from the song "Cd. Juárez" by María Barracuda. The song describes life in the city of Ciudad Juárez, which is located in the northern part of Mexico. The lyrics highlight the challenges and hardships faced in the city, but also express a sense of pride and love for the hometown.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of resilience and determination to defend the city's reputation. The repeated chorus asserts that Ciudad Juárez is the number one city, expressing love, loyalty, and a hope that it won't disappoint.
