Coronamos Lyrics in English by JC Reyes
Coronamos is a street heist told in the first person, and JC Reyes doesn't soften it. The hook opens with the kit: "Llevo guardado los guantes, la capucha" (I've got the gloves and the hood stashed), ready "para meterme a la casa de noche" (to get into the house at night). Then comes the payoff: "Coronamos y a doscientos metemos el coche" (we pull it off and floor the car at two hundred).
The key slang is the title itself. Coronar literally means "to crown", but in street Spanish it means to pull off a job and get away with it. Pegar un palo is slang for doing a robbery, which is why he says "soy el que se pone al volante" (I'm the one who takes the wheel), the getaway driver. Next to the danger sits the flex: Air Force are the Nike sneakers and Dolce is Dolce & Gabbana. The second verse gets more honest about the motive: "no quiero coger la cárcel, necesito hacer par de pesos" (I don't want to end up in jail, I need to make a couple of bucks). The line he keeps coming back to, "yo vivo en una lucha" (I live in a struggle), turns the bravado into something closer to a confession.
