I am apalled by lots of the translations on this site, anyone can use a damned online translator. What people really want is interpretation of the lyrics, as in... what does it really mean? Not what is the literal translation of the words.

anyway,
Guerrero = Warrior or fighting
Traicionero = Treacherous
so it's fighting hearts, treacherous hearts

The song Corazones is really quite heavy. He talks about how people treat each other badly and how there is a need to bring up more leaders and less criminals. It talks alot about God and Jesus as well. Following is the best interpretation/translation I can come up with.

***After getting through the not so great interpretation of these lyrics, I realize that the word Corazon is Heart, but means Soul in this context*** Also, please realize that my Spanish is not the greatest, but I think this should be a more accurate translation for you.

Los los raperos no existieran - this means That Rappers Would Not Exist and the way he uses Gavana it means Mirror

I think in "Una víbora de carne y vinagre de bebida" he's trying to signify a poisenous meal of bread and wine (body and blood). Its just a guess, but it makes sense.
