Caramelo (feat. La Santa Grifa)

The song 'Caramelo' by Tornillo, featuring La Santa Grifa, is a vivid portrayal of the artists' experiences with marijuana and their lifestyle. The repeated chorus 'Ay, qué dulce caramelo cuando fumo y vuelo' translates to 'Oh, what sweet candy when I smoke and fly,' which is a metaphor for the pleasurable sensation they feel when high. The term 'caramelo' (candy) is used to describe the allure of marijuana, likening its sweetness to that of a treat. The phrase 'si no me pega es porque no está bueno' suggests that if the marijuana doesn't have a strong effect, it's not of good quality.

Throughout the song, the artists reflect on their journey and the role that marijuana has played in their lives. They mention overcoming obstacles and continuing to push forward despite challenges. The lyrics 'Nadie nace siendo un lobo, el tiempo te lo da solo' imply that no one is born tough or streetwise; it's something that life teaches you over time. The song also touches on themes of resilience and self-reliance, with references to Mexican culture and pride in their roots.

The song's narrative is not just about the use of marijuana but also about the lifestyle that accompanies it. The artists talk about enjoying life to the fullest, embracing the 'vida loca' (crazy life), and not being afraid to indulge in their vices. They also express a sense of community and camaraderie among those who share their lifestyle, as well as a defiance against those who might judge them. 'Caramelo' is a celebration of their choices and a declaration of their identity.
