EXCESOS Lyrics in English by Fuerza Regida
Alebrestran comes from the regional Mexican verb alebrestar, meaning to stir up, excite, or make someone restless and rowdy.
In the lyric "con corridos se alebrestan", the singer boasts that the party-goers instantly get wild when the corridos start playing. It’s a vivid, slangy word that perfectly captures the high-energy vibe of the song and isn’t something you’ll find in everyday Spanish textbooks.
Heartbreak meets extreme partying in "EXCESOS" by Fuerza Regida. The singer just found out his ex moved on with someone else, but instead of sitting around crying, he packs his bags and chooses chaos. He delivers one of the bluntest lines in modern corridos tumbados: "Sí estás bonita y todo, pero hay más culos que estrellas" ("You're pretty and all, but there are more asses than stars"). He leaves for the city ("la Capi") to meet his crew ("los plebes"), burn through thick stacks of cash ("gastando paquita gruesa"), and numb the disappointment with party powder and open bottles.
He admits he is awful at romance ("pa'l amor no sirvo yo" / "I'm no good at love"), so he leans fully into the rockstar lifestyle until the right one shows up. As he puts it, "Y mientras llega mi persona favorita / Seguiré con mi loquera, los excesos, las morritas" ("And until my favorite person arrives / I'll keep up my craziness, the excesses, the girls"). Riding around with blonde girls ("las güeras") poking their heads out of the sunroof ("el quemacocos"), he treats the entire city like a movie set with lights, cameras, and nonstop party energy.
