Me Ha Costado (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus (Neton Vega – First Occurrence)]
This part of the song highlights how the artist doesn’t rely on loans or outside help to afford a luxurious lifestyle. Instead, he has people who handle things for him, and everything is prepaid, meaning he’s financially independent. The lyrics suggest that time is limited, emphasizing the urgency of enjoying success while it lasts. Traveling from Cancun to Cabo represents his fast-paced, extravagant lifestyle, but it also comes with risks. The mention of “burns” refers to challenges or dangers he has faced along the way.

[Verse 1 (German)]
The verse talks about the expensive things he owns, like white gold chains, which symbolize his success. He mentions being “well braided,” possibly referring to his status and influence. The phrase about bringing bullets as gifts suggests he is prepared for violence if necessary. He also talks about drügs, partying, and the high life, mentioning inhaling tusi (a type of drug) and inviting a friend for a wild time. The line about losing a bag could mean spending a lot of money carelessly. He encourages others to step into his shoes if they want to understand his struggles. The verse ends with him stating that he’s been hustling since childhood, working hard to build the connections and power he now has.

[Refrain (German)]
This part portrays a dangerous world filled with criminals, gang members, and violence. “Bang-bang” represents gunfire, while “gang-gang” refers to organized groups involved in crime. Philipp Plein, a luxury brand, is associated with their lifestyle. The mention of “plebs” calling him “daddy” suggests admiration or respect from younger followers in the streets.

[Chorus (Neton Vega – Second Occurrence)]
This repeats the message of self-made success, reinforcing that he doesn’t rely on loans to afford luxury. Instead, he has people handling his expenses. The phrase “time is counted” suggests he knows success isn’t forever. The trip from Cancun to Cabo represents his high-speed lifestyle, but the references to burns and fire symbolize the dangers and struggles he’s faced along the way.

[Verse 2 (Victor Mendivil & Neton Vega)]
This verse starts with confidence—he feels untouchable. He talks about violence, possibly referring to gunfights. The “stain” following him could mean a bad reputation or past troubles that won’t leave him. He reflects on his beginnings, selling weed on the streets before making it big. Now, he rides in fancy cars like the Impala, drinks expensive liquor, and indulges in drügs. The pink powder and “short one” refer to substances and possibly a firearm. He mentions hiding his face, likely to avoid police or enemies. Even though he didn’t finish school, he considers himself highly educated in life’s harsh realities. The verse describes the dangers of street life, where even a small mistake can be deadly. He boasts about his financial success, mentioning high-end cars and powerful connections. The reference to Al Capone implies that he sees himself as a major player in the game. He’s always ready for conflict and has people looking out for him.

[Proverb (German)]
This part echoes the earlier refrain, describing the criminal world. “Bang-bang” represents violence, and “gang-gang” refers to street gangs. The mention of Philipp Plein once again ties luxury fashion to their lifestyle. The “plebitas” (young followers) see him as a powerful figure, calling him “daddy,” which could mean respect or admiration from those looking up to him.

[Chorus (Neton Vega – Final Occurrence)]
The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the core message: success didn’t come easy, and everything he has, he earned through hard work and struggle. He doesn’t rely on financial help and instead has a strong network of people who handle things for him. The lyrics suggest a fast-paced life filled with travel, money, and danger, but he knows time is limited, and he must enjoy his success while he can.
