$AD BOYZ II Lyrics in English by Junior H
Cabrón is a versatile and very common slang term in Spanish, often used to mean 'asshole' or 'jerk', but its meaning can shift significantly based on context and tone.
In this song, the lyric "Que por qué ando de cabrón" translates to "Why am I acting like an asshole?" Here, it's used in a self-deprecating way, acknowledging that his behavior might be perceived negatively after a breakup. It's an interesting word because it's so prevalent in informal Spanish and understanding its nuances is key to grasping everyday conversations and song lyrics.
Junior H leans hard into his signature style here, mixing traditional corrido acoustic sounds with urban sadness. The track opens right in the middle of a dying relationship. He asks his girl to rest her head on his chest, but he already feels the bad vibes coming: “aquí en mi cora lo presiento” ("I sense it here in my heart"). Cora is just quick street slang for corazón (heart). He knows the end is near because she would rather pick a fight than talk to him. That leaves him deleting old photos and videos off his phone, bluntly writing off the whole history with the vulgar Mexican slang phrase “a la verga” (roughly "to hell with it").
The best, most relatable part happens when his ex's mother steps into the drama. The mom spots him out looking rough, getting inked up, and acting out, demanding to know why he is running around “de cabrón” ("acting like a jerk" or living wild). She even asks what this whole "sad boy" aesthetic is about. Junior H gives her an unforgettable, deadpan reply: “¿Doña, qué hago si su hija me lastimó?” ("Ma'am, what am I supposed to do if your daughter hurt me?"). Calling an elder Doña is respectful, which makes it hilarious when paired with him blaming her child for his fresh ink and bad habits. Behind the humor, though, the hurt sticks around—he compares her past kisses to permanent tattoos that he can never strip away from his skin.
