344 Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1: Trueno]
Here, Trueno opens up about a complicated relationship. He knows someone close is about to tell him something, and he already feels he won’t be able to say no, like he’s emotionally tied. But at the same time, he realizes he’s not fully accepted in their inner world, as if he’s being kept on the outside. Still, he keeps showing up, not to look foolish, but hoping for some connection—a smile or encouragement. Even if he feels left out, he’s deeply devoted, almost religiously, and knows all the little details that show how much he cares.

As the verse moves on, we find him alone in Madrid at 3:44 AM, wide awake and restless. He admits that he’s quit trying to sleep and instead smokes to the point where he jokes that even heaven must be complaining about the smell. There’s a sense of burnout—he’s tired of the lifestyle, the fame, the endless touring, the contracts. He just wants to remind someone that they’re always on his mind and dreams of escaping with them into a quiet, private life. Even though the clubs are packed, he’s alone in his room, and that loneliness hits hard.

He questions the point of luxury—fancy hotels, expensive chains—if it doesn’t come with basic happiness or nourishment. He reflects on his rough beginnings, saying there’s no path for people born without advantages, and yet here he is, walking the red carpet barefoot, not letting go of his humility. He draws a line between real and fake friendships, saying his crew are real partners while others are just pretending.

Trueno also touches on a deep truth: no one really pays attention to how the person who’s supposed to make others laugh actually feels inside. He describes his journey through Europe as chasing a childhood dream—like a kid from La Boca wanting to return home with a trophy. He admits he’s made mistakes, giving someone his heart and getting it back broken, but rather than letting it crush him, he grows stronger from it. He compares his passion for music to Messi’s connection with the ball, and says he’s out here playing this game not just for himself, but for his mom, like Maradona once did for his mother, “La Tota.”

[Estribillo: Trueno]
In this chorus, Trueno is basically saying goodbye and expressing gratitude. He repeats “thank you and see you later,” which gives the sense that he’s moving on but still being polite and respectful. He tells someone not to be mad—he’s just looking for something new in life. It’s like he’s closing a chapter but with peace and no hard feelings.

[Refrán: Trueno]
Trueno shares the feeling of constantly being on the move. He’s always catching flights, losing track of time, and being away from home. Despite all this, his mom and grandma are praying for him, and he acknowledges how important they are to him. Their love and support mean everything, even when he’s far away.

[Verso 2: Trueno]
In this short part, he talks about how his younger siblings inspire him, and his brothers are everything to him—his reason for doing what he does. He also says trusting his real friends is a big blessing. When it comes to someone named Chucho, he feels like not even a full song is enough to express his love or pay tribute.

[Estribillo: Trueno]
Once again, Trueno is saying thank you and goodbye, but this time there’s a stronger vibe of reflection and change. He’s asking someone not to take it personally—he’s just chasing new experiences. He repeats the goodbye with emotion, almost like it’s part of a personal ritual or mindset he’s learning to live by.

[Refrán: Trueno]
He’s once again getting on a plane, unsure of the time or where he even is, but he knows his mom and grandma are praying for him. Their constant care and faith bring him comfort, reminding him of home and what truly matters, even when his lifestyle is chaotic.

[Puente: Trueno]
Trueno points out that he’s about to turn 22 and wants to be taken seriously. He’s not a little kid anymore, and he repeats it with emphasis, almost demanding respect. It’s a statement of maturity and stepping into adulthood.

[Verso 3: Trueno]
He says again that he’s almost 22, and he’s not some naïve kid with a big head. He represents the voice of his generation—young people from tough neighborhoods aiming high. They’re trying to leave their struggles behind and reach new heights. He also shows humility by apologizing if he ever hurt someone. Then, he closes it off with his signature “thank you and see you later.”

[Outro: Pedro Peligro & Trueno]
This part wraps it all up like a diary entry. He’s telling us that everything he’s talked about actually happened recently, like a thunderclap—fast, intense, loud. But at the same time, he says this kind of stuff happens all the time, showing how normal chaos and deep feelings are in his world. And once again, he signs off with “thank you and see you later.”
