Tingo Y Tango Lyrics in English Junior H

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tingo Y Tango by Junior H from Spanish to English.
I am not gonna burn myself
Even though there's too much fire here
The burn is tough
But I bring good schooling
The tricolor flag
In the middle a f*cking big eagle
In Cali I was raised
But Michoacán blood
From the 209, heading to L.A
To party chill, to work too
From Tingo to Tango, from here to there
I carry good blood, I'm from Michoacán
The guitars play, ready to party
If El Gordo's happy, he starts drinking
Popeye never fails, he's always at a million
John at my side
Dawn already hit them
Dawn already hit them
And that around here there's extra manpower, buddy Chachito
The plant keeps yielding
To work to deserve
I like to spend by the hundreds
But respect is earned
And that I never lack
Dances, girls by the bunch
For me they're the best
Though some don't value
They fall in love with money
A good swig of whiskey to lift off
Rolling with friends, angelic powder
A RAM humming to de-stress
Through the boulevards or on the freeway
The guitars play, ready to party
If El Gordo's happy, he starts drinking
Buddy May never fails, he's always at a million
Gonzalo right here beside me
Dawn already hit them
Dawn already hit them

SONG MEANING

“Tingo Y Tango” is Junior H’s swagger-filled postcard from the life of a young Mexican raised in California who proudly carries la bandera tricolor in his heart. Over ringing guitars, he salutes his dual roots — Michoacán blood flowing through a Cali upbringing — and traces his usual route from the 209 to L.A. The message is clear: the streets can be hot (“no me voy a quemar”), but he has learned the rules, earned his stripes, and now moves with confidence between hard work (chambear) and well-deserved celebration.

The second half of the song is a rolling party reel. Junior H name-drops his tight-knit crew — El Gordo, Popeye, John, May, Gonzalo — while painting a vivid scene of midnight guitars, hundred-dollar splurges, whisky shots, dazzling women, and a RAM truck roaring down freeways to shake off stress. Beneath the bravado lies a simple code: respect must be earned, loyalty never fails, and good times taste sweeter when they are paid for with honest hustle. “Tingo Y Tango” is both a corrido of pride and a toast to the bonds that keep the fiesta alive until dawn.
