Soy De Durango Lyrics in English La Adictiva

Home / Lyrics Translation / La Adictiva / Soy De Durango

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy De Durango by La Adictiva from Spanish to English.

And from that enemy that wanted to kill me

Just the memories, may God keep them for me

I am from Durango, just remember my name and my ranch

From the old school and from Joaquín Loera's crew

A time in the mountains, ravines, trails, the war weapons

I live and fully handle the business

And let the water flow, let it not stop

Everything comes together, right now there's problems

And I'm calm

And may I never lack a cigarette

I guard my pistol

For those who want to cross the line with the crew

I walk straight in the crooked business

And whoever doesn't shape up, let him come with me, I straighten him out here

And an armored Cayenne, super diamond-studded

They often see me around Guadalajara

They're not vacations

I have to watch out for the sharks

I'm a good asset

And I check the plaza, I don't mess around with stories

I see other colors, money and shares, more worries

And I have to tighten it up, get the boxes ready

And so what if a band shows up at my house at dawn?

If I drink for three nights and the booze doesn't end

I don't work high, and it sounds like danger if I'm crossed

I prefer to stay sober, and that way I measure my marked steps

Time has passed, everything here has changed, I'm already tangled up

And whatever comes, I'm still standing here

SONG MEANING

Soy De Durango plunges us into the pulse-pounding world of a proud Duranguense who has climbed the ranks of a risky, outlawed business. The narrator tips his hat to the vieja escuela—the old-school code of honor—while name-checking Joaquín Loera, better known as El Chapo. Between rugged memories of the sierra and the constant hum of danger, he celebrates survival: guarding his pistol, riding in a diamond-studded armored Cayenne, and staying two steps ahead of the “tiburones” that circle his territory.

At its core, the song is a modern corrido of grit and swagger. It mixes loyalty to one’s roots with the high-stakes reality of drug-trade politics: counting cash, watching over the plaza, and partying hard yet calculating every move. Through vivid snapshots—cigarette in hand, live band at dawn, bullets never far away—La Adictiva paints a portrait of someone who knows the rules of the crooked game but walks his own straight line within it. The message is clear: time changes, problems pile up, yet this son of Durango is still standing, unflinching, and ready for whatever comes next.
