Hombre De A Deveras Lyrics in English Julion Alvarez Y Su Norteño Banda
Abolengo refers to one's lineage, ancestry, or noble heritage. It's a word that evokes a sense of tradition and inherited qualities, making it quite unique in contemporary song lyrics.
In "Hombre De A Deveras," the singer proudly states, "Ya lo traigo de abolengo," meaning he carries these qualities—being a true man, a good friend, and tough when necessary—as if they are inherited traits from his family or upbringing. It emphasizes that his character is deeply ingrained and comes from a long-standing tradition, not something he just adopted.
In "Hombre De A Deveras," which translates to "A Real Man," Julión Álvarez paints a picture of authentic, old-school manhood. The singer declares that a person's true value comes from their heart—"Uno vale lo que carga en el pecho" (One is worth what they carry in their chest). He isn't concerned with what others think, because he knows people will talk no matter what. Instead, he focuses on being a respectful and lawful person who is neither better nor worse than anyone else.
This "real man" is a complex character. He is a loyal friend, a passionate lover, and tough when he needs to be—"Amigo del amigo y cabrón cuando hay que serlo" (A friend to a friend and a badass when it's necessary). He's not afraid of hard work or a good party, and even as his fortune grows, he remains humble. Above all, he's a man of strong character and a noble heart, always ready to help his people and get things done.
