Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Preferí Chambear by Chino Pacas from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I chose to work

I didn't like school and I wanted to move up

And in the Santa Julia hood they will see me

Because now I'm doing good and it's with my bro

The strawberry city

Where an intelligent dude with dreams and goals keeps his place

He has never been a pushover

He has always shown that the dude brings a challenge

And nobody can take away his love for trucks

Ready to throw a party

Right there, bro. pure 413

Up with Guanajuato

Verse 2

I had to bust my *ss

Since I was a kid I remember that there wasn't money for bread

I got used to the good life and I started to earn

And making blue bills, pulling it off here

And I carry an AK for whoever messes with me

Because I didn't turn out weak, it's already proven that I hit my goals

And now it's only up, I'm rising real fast like a comet

There are no secret recipes, it's a sh*tload of balls

The goal is close

And I didn't like school, bro

Pure 413, f*ck it

We keep working, dude

SONG MEANING

Chino Pacas turns his story into an adrenaline-charged anthem in "Yo Preferí Chambear". Skipping school and diving straight into hard work, he paints a vivid portrait of growing up in Santa Julia, Guanajuato, where hustle is a way of life and ambition never sleeps. The lyrics celebrate trading textbooks for real-world grind, pushing past childhood scarcity, and climbing so fast it feels like riding a comet. Along the way, he salutes his "carnal" (brother), reps the 413 area code, and flashes pride in the city known as La Ciudad de la Fresa.

Beneath the bragging rights and love for flashy trucks lies a motivational core: there is no secret recipe, only courage, perseverance, and the willingness to keep “chambeando” until the goals hit blue-sky heights. The track is equal parts street diary and victory lap, inviting listeners to blast it loud, feel the grit, and believe that relentless work can turn dreams into milestones.
