El Pelos Lyrics in English Junior H , JR Torres

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Pelos by Junior H from Spanish to English.
Buddy, pass me that cigarette
I see a strange car
And three dudes with bad intentions
Because I remember that some years ago
I had already run into them
I even gave them my friendship
They arrived shooting at me
The b*stards angry
Because they couldn't hit me
Already with a bullet in my leg
And rolling from the ground
I started shooting at them
I have never let anybody push me around
The scrappy Pelos was born
And we're gonna get to it
All for Sinaloa, buddy Junior, just like that
All in, namesake
Let the H ring, old man
Even though I recently paid my sentence
And Rafa was my school
Just so that you know
Since I was a kid I've been in the crossfire
I gamble my life for my life
And we're not gonna change
I'm the American's banner
Without marks, we don't get burned
What memories around there
The beginning has not slipped my mind
Of the three that came at me
Only one is left
It's not that I'm a bad man
I'm not a pushover either
They wanted to kill me

SONG MEANING

Junior H and JR Torres plunge us into the raw world of El Pelos, a fearless outlaw from Sinaloa who lives by his own code of survival. The song opens in classic corrido fashion: Pelos spots a suspicious car, recognizes the men inside as former acquaintances, and is immediately pulled back into a violent past. A sudden hail of bullets leaves him wounded, yet he fires back without hesitation, showing that he would rather stand his ground than ever be taken down. This dramatic standoff is more than an action scene; it paints a picture of loyalty, mistrust, and the relentless dangers that shadow a life in the Mexican underworld.

As the verses unfold, Pelos reflects on hard-earned lessons: a stint in prison (“la Rafa fue mi escuela”), years of risky street life, and a reputation as an “americano” smuggler who never brands himself to avoid heat. Despite calling himself “no un hombre malo,” he makes it clear that betrayal will always be met with force. The chorus’s rallying cry, “¡Puro pa’ Sinaloa!”, celebrates regional pride while underlining an unswerving commitment to those who share his path. In short, El Pelos is both a cautionary tale and a boastful anthem, revealing the harsh realities, rugged honor, and pulse-pounding danger that define the protagonist’s world.
