Did you like this lyrics translation?
comedero — feeding trough / hangout spot
Comedero literally means 'feeding trough' or 'manger', a place where animals eat. However, in Mexican slang, especially in corridos, it often refers to a local hangout spot or a place where people gather, similar to a 'watering hole' for humans.
In this corrido, "De un toro del comedero" (Of a bull from the comedero) and "Te avisara el comedero" (The comedero will let you know), it's used to signify a well-known place or community hub where important figures like Juan Machado are recognized and information is exchanged. It's an interesting word that reveals a deeper cultural context beyond its literal translation.
