FARDOS (feat. JC Reyes)

De La Ghetto's song 'FARDOS,' featuring JC Reyes, delves into the themes of danger, rebellion, and the allure of a risky lifestyle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where fast cars, illicit activities, and a sense of invincibility dominate. The song opens with a reference to driving a car that isn't a luxury model like a Gallardo, but still exudes a sense of thrill and excitement. The woman in the song is attracted to men who live on the edge, those who 'mueven fardo' (move packages), a euphemism for drug dealing. This sets the tone for a narrative steeped in the underground lifestyle.

The chorus emphasizes the intoxicating effect of the woman's 'flow,' a term that can refer to her style, charisma, and overall presence. Her allure is so powerful that it 'kills' the narrator, metaphorically speaking. The repeated lines about enjoying each other's company late into the night suggest a deep, albeit dangerous, connection. The lyrics also touch on the woman's dual nature—she's described as a 'diabla con cara de santa' (a devil with the face of a saint), highlighting the contrast between her innocent appearance and her wild, rebellious spirit.

Cultural references abound in the song, from mentions of drinking codeine with Fanta to dancing to bachata, a genre of music that originated in the Dominican Republic. These elements ground the song in a specific cultural context, making it relatable to listeners familiar with these references. The song also explores themes of loyalty and protection, as the woman is depicted as someone who would go to great lengths to protect the narrator, even keeping a Glock handy. This adds another layer to their relationship, portraying it as one built on mutual respect and shared danger.
