La Durango Lyrics in English Dharius

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Durango by Dharius from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I saw her outside a bar
It was already late, she was alone, I walked up and said hi
Verse 1
Can I help you with something?
She told me crying, 'nobody can help me anymore'
My Durango was right there and they just stole it
My dad's gonna get mad, tonight he didn't let me go out
That's why that right now I don't want to go home
If you invite me somewhere, I'll gladly go with you
Since there wasn't even one witness, I think that I'll be able to lie to him
Pretty girl, don't cry anymore, let's go right away
She said, 'there's a Japanese motel close by right here'
Like a dumbass I agreed in a split second
And I told her, 'don't be sad, we're gonna have a good time'
And just like I'm telling you, that's exactly how it was
And I'm not lying, at that moment I thought that I had won her over
But later I realized
That she had been waiting for me and the Durango never existed
Something bad was going on, I stopped real quick to get gas
I said, 'I have to pee'
Verse 1
I got out, went into the bathroom and soon started scoping around
And I saw two trucks a few blocks back
My smile disappeared and I thought, 'they want to kill me'
I grabbed my cellphone to call the crew
I told them, 'they're hunting me, I'm here close in La Estanzuela'
They told me that I should give them just 10 minutes
That I shouldn't go to the motel, that I should head back to the bar
Chorus 1
That happens to me for being horny
Looking for b*tches all over the city
They want to throw me into a very deep well
But they're surely gonna f*ck up
Verse 2
Right away I ran over and jumped in, speeding off
I said, 'babe, sorry, I have to go back for something'
She grabbed the wheel and said, 'I can't go back
If we don't go to the motel, please let me get out'
I said, 'dumb b*tch, nobody's getting out of here
You almost pulled it on me, but I already found you out
Now tell me everything if you want to live'
She said, 'I don't know anything, they paid me to come'
'Who the f*ck paid you?'
'I swear I don't know who
Verse 2
Two well-dressed men, I only saw them once'
I looked in the rearview and saw the trucks
It was a gray Suburban and another really crappy pickup
I floored it straight back to the bar
Two, three more from the plan were already waiting for me
They called my cellphone, 'little bro, where are you?'
I told them, 'they're following me, in a minute I'll be there'
'Don't worry about anything, everything's gonna turn out fine
They don't know who they're messing with but they're about to find out
We're all already parked here in the alley
You drive all the way in and here we hit them head-on'
'I'm arriving, it's set; let me pull in over there
I hope those a**holes have the balls to come in'
Just like they told me, I came in through the back of the bar
And the trucks barged in fast without thinking
Chorus 2
That happens to me for being horny
Looking for b*tches all over the city
They want to throw me into a very deep well
But they're surely gonna f*ck up
Verse 3
When I got out of the ride, I already had them surrounded
They pulled them all out and quickly disarmed them
There were six thugs, they were all freaked
We took them to the field to see who had sent them
Once they were tied up, they started to sing
They had planned it themselves, they were trying to snatch me
For wanting easy money, they're leaving this world now
Of the girl and the six dudes nobody ever knew anything else
Chorus 3
That happens to them for being sneaky
For not watching who they want to f*ck over
Next time, look closely you filthy ones
Because if you run into me, you already know where you're going

SONG MEANING

La Durango is a fast-paced hip-hop thriller told from the point of view of a street-savvy narrator. Outside a bar he meets a girl who claims her father’s Dodge Durango has just been stolen. She is in tears, asks for help, and quickly suggests they hide out together in a nearby Japanese-themed motel. Believing he has scored a lucky romantic encounter, the narrator drives off with her, only to notice suspicious trucks tailing them. A pit stop for gas confirms his fears: the whole story about the Durango was bait, and he is about to be kidnapped.

The rest of the song flips from flirtation to survival. He phones his crew, races back to the bar, and lures the would-be kidnappers into a trap. Once cornered, the six attackers and the deceitful girl are overpowered and taken to a remote spot where, in pure gang-movie fashion, they “disappear.” Dharius uses the narrative to deliver two warnings: lust can cloud judgment, and messing with the wrong person on the streets can have deadly consequences. The track mixes dark humor, vivid storytelling, and hard-edged bravado, making it both a cautionary tale and a showcase of Mexican urban slang and swagger.
