12 Rifles Lyrics in English Junior H

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 12 Rifles by Junior H from Spanish to English.
We carry on from Hermosillo, Sonora
Recording the big corridos, 12 Rifles
Your buddy Junior H with the big band
Get in, old man!
A squad arrived at his house
"Raise your hands," that's how they yelled at him
A band was playing corridos
In command six hitmen watched his back
They jump fences dressed in black
They were twelve b*stards really well equipped
"We're from the AFI, hand over your weapons"
And ready, the Doll was already aiming at them
And on the table, they smashed a frame
Because the wash was already over
Their senses were on alert
They were the effects of that good product
Eaaa
Here you go buddy Alberto, buddy Tash
With lots of respect, of course
Ua!
Just like that buddy Junior
Twelve rifles went off at once
But they didn't make it with the .380
One hitman went down from two shots
And the ones left took off running
I remember well, what a good adventure
Vests and long guns, dressed in them
Time goes by and I don't forget them
So much mischief they lived with me
And I sing these verses with permission
Just so that you notice that the legacy is still active
Like that time that they came at me
But they ran into the Doll from Chihuahua
Ajua

SONG MEANING

Picture a smoky backyard in Hermosillo, Sonora, where brass instruments spark and Junior H grabs the mic. In “12 Rifles” he turns a real-life narco tale into musical adrenaline, blending traditional banda instruments with modern swagger. The opening shout-outs place you right in the session, hearing the first trumpet blast before the action erupts.

The lyrics recount a late-night raid on a trafficker’s home: federal agents storm the place, sicarios in black scale the walls, and a dozen rifles answer back. Amid the gunfire, one hitman falls, the rest scatter, and Junior H proudly remembers walking away untouched. Beyond the chaos, the song celebrates loyalty, bravado, and the outlaw legacy that corridos tumbados love to immortalize. It is a toast to surviving danger, keeping senses sharp, and carrying the crew’s banner high – a gritty snapshot of Mexico’s underworld set to an irresistibly catchy beat.
