Los Gustos Del Muchacho Lyrics in English by T3r Elemento
Arrancones refers to informal drag races, usually short, high-speed contests between cars. In the song, the narrator is driving his customized Cheyenne and asks who wants to join the races, giving the word an energetic, distinctly Mexican slang flavor.
“Los Gustos del Muchacho” takes us into a late-night party that runs all the way to sunrise. The narrator starts in Santa Ana, where he says the “plebitas” are the finest, then heads to Culiacán’s malecón in a customized Cheyenne pickup and four-wheelers. A troca means a pickup truck, while plebitas is a casual word for young women. He drives down the boulevard, burns rubber, and challenges people to street races: “¿Quién quiere topar?” [Who wants to race?] It is loud, smoky, fast, and deliberately flashy.
The party keeps rolling at five in the morning. He says, “Forjando un cigarro, muy bien relajado” [Rolling a cigarette, completely relaxed], while smoke fills the scene and whiskey sits nearby. The women are drunk, the dancing gets sexy, and corridos and guitars keep the music going with T3r Elemento. When he finally leaves, he says, “Enganché dos Barbies” [I picked up two Barbies], using Barbies as slang for attractive women. Even on his way out, he asks to hear “Fire Up” again so he can keep alucinando, a slangy way to say getting carried away, feeling excited, or living the flashy fantasy of the night. It is a cheeky, over-the-top snapshot of trucks, racing, smoke, drinks, music, and a party that refuses to end.
