El Nene Lyrics in English Junior H

Home / Lyrics Translation / Junior H / El Nene

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Nene by Junior H from Spanish to English.

A taste of my blood

And as soon as they taste it they die

Like an unmatched poison

Blood of the Vélez last name

How to forget that afternoon

When I almost lost Nene?

I couldn't make out who was coming

Suddenly a Cheyenne arrives

Rounds hit through the window of my Super Duty truck

And I threw myself to the ground

From afar they were gunshots, it looked like Call of Duty

I replayed my life

I still couldn't see who was coming

I kept looking for Nene

I can't see through the dust cloud

The nine's got no bullets left

My life passing by and in my hand my rosary that dangled

Death was already calling me

Four hits from a copper AK, reflected in my eyes

Life was saving me

He was an unmatched old-timer

Nene with a fixed stare

They almost took us out, cousin

But they could suck our d*ck

We burned cartridges and toward the hills, the Super Duty flat out

Nothing and nobody stops it

Like an RZR in dust and dunes, it took off like lightning

Nene was bleeding out on me

Here it goes buddy Nene, all the way to heaven, old man

Corridos, no f*cking around

Nobody can give me an answer

Hours go by, nobody knows anything

A thousand things run through my head

Wanting to know what's happening, compadre

Give me a minute to talk to him

And see if he hears who prays to him

I think I'm saying goodbye, compadre

With a broken voice he tells me

'My name might end right here

Go, tell my old lady that I left and that there's no way back

I leave you that copper AK so that you comb the mountains right

And look after Imelda for me'

Along that mountain range

Two blood-stained graves rest

You knew how to fight them

How can I repay you, compadre?

I promise to comb the whole sierra and raise that little house

That you hustled for so hard

We'll see each other around the corner when the doves fly

I'll fight for what you dreamed

SONG MEANING

Junior H turns the adrenaline all the way up in El Nene, a modern corrido that feels like an action-movie scene told through raw, streetwise poetry. The narrator is ambushed on a dusty road; bullets shatter the glass of his Super Duty truck, dust clouds the air, and the chaos feels like a real-life Call of Duty match. While scrambling for cover he searches desperately for his brother-in-arms, El Nene, only to find him gravely wounded. Faith and fate collide as the narrator clutches a rosary in one hand and an empty handgun in the other, replaying his life in seconds while engines roar and rifles crack in the background.

Beneath the shoot-outs and roaring engines lies a heartfelt promise of loyalty and grief. As El Nene bleeds out, he entrusts his friend with a rammed AK-47, a mother named Imelda, and a dream of building a humble house in the sierra. The song shifts from pulse-pounding survival to solemn devotion: the narrator vows to comb the mountains, honor the fallen, and keep their shared aspirations alive. It is a gritty yet sentimental tribute that mixes bravado, brotherhood, and vulnerability, reminding listeners that even in violent worlds, love for family and friends remains the ultimate driving force.
