Carta a Dios 2 (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Eladio is saying he refuses to take shortcuts in life or compromise his values for success. He understands that life isn’t always easy, and he’s learned to accept both the good and bad experiences. He appreciates his growth and has come to love the journey, even with its ups and downs. He mentions that he no longer holds grudges, suggesting he’s found peace within himself. He believes that struggles are a way God communicates with him, showing that he trusts in divine guidance. Despite challenges, he stays strong and doesn’t let obstacles defeat him. He also hints at people trying to define or limit him, referencing Leonardo (possibly meaning Leonardo da Vinci or Leonardo from the Ninja Turtles, symbolizing being boxed into an identity). He then shares his formula for success: visualize goals, find supportive people, and give everything to achieve dreams without looking back. The message is about perseverance, self-belief, and staying committed to personal growth.

[Verse 2]
Eladio opens up about his battle with depression, revealing that it constantly fights against him. He feels the weight of his words because his music influences many people, especially younger listeners. This responsibility makes him reflect on whether he would let his own children listen to his songs. Sometimes he feels okay with it, other times not, but he always strives to set a good example. He acknowledges that his upbringing, especially the values taught by his mother, shaped who he is today. He wonders about the future but knows some things take time to unfold. Then, he touches on inner demons and external threats—mentioning people who want to see him fail, possibly referencing rapper YNW Melly, who faced legal troubles. He hints at needing protection, likely metaphorically and literally, to survive in the industry. Despite all of this, he remains proud of his Puerto Rican roots, comparing himself to Feli, possibly referring to Félix “Feli” Trinidad, a legendary Puerto Rican boxer.

[Outro]
Eladio ends on a positive note, saying he no longer has nightmares and can finally sleep peacefully. It shows a sense of relief and contentment, as if he’s found happiness despite all the struggles he’s faced.
