Los Botones Azules Lyrics in English Junior H , Luis R Conriquez

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Botones Azules by Junior H from Spanish to English.
Only blue pills are the ones I move
Here, in Finiquera, I'm always chill
We run the plaza and the scale does weigh on me today
My people are always on alert, if they call me, I go
What do you want me to do, if my dad made me a stallion?
I took a hit of Gelato, what a scolding
I'm in the bad stuff, my brother, I think they caught me
With this huge beef now for real
I carry a deer's instinct and I'm not blinded
I haven't pulled the trigger on the cuernito anymore
And if you think that it's over here, I've stayed on the trip
You won't see me here anymore
Passports aren't needed through the desert
An armored ride is required for the mission
A brunette that's real hot
I want her ready for any situation
I'm in the bad stuff, my brother, I think they caught me
With this huge beef now for real
I carry a deer's instinct and I'm not blinded
I haven't pulled the trigger on the cuernito anymore
And if you think that it's over here, I've stayed on the trip
You won't see me here anymore

SONG MEANING

Los Botones Azules drops you straight into the high-stakes world of the modern corrido bélico, where Junior H and Luis R Conriquez hustle “botones azules” – the infamous little blue pills that fuel today’s illicit trade. Over twangy guitars they brag about cruising through la finiquera (the Arizona-Sonora desert), puffing on Gelato weed, riding in armored trucks, and relying on a crew that is always “al pendiente”. References to el cuernito (an AK-47), fat balances, and passport-free desert crossings paint a gritty, cinematic picture of border-blurring business and adrenaline-soaked nights.

Beneath the swagger lies a note of vulnerability. The narrator feels the heat closing in, admits he “got grabbed” by trouble, and toys with disappearing for good. That mix of bravado and looming danger turns the song into both a celebration of outlaw freedom and a warning about how quickly the ride can end, making it a quintessential soundtrack for the new wave of corridos tumbados.
