Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El De La Codeina by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.
Dicen que pa'l narco
They say that for the narco
Solo es el polvito blanco para alivianarnos
It's only the little white powder to chill us out
Pero eso es mentira
But that's a lie
Siglo 21, en los 80's fue la gripa
21st century, in the 80's it was the flu
Con una bebida
With a drink
Cuidando las zonas, con los fierros bien arriba
Guarding the zones, with the guns held high
Acá por Califa
Over here in Cali
Bien, bien pilas
Real, real sharp
Pon unas rolitas
Put on some tracks
La de 'Sour Diesel' pa' que truenen las bocinas
The one 'Sour Diesel' so that the speakers bang
Si ya ando cansado
If I'm already tired
Jarabe en el vaso, para la tos que aún no traigo
Syrup in the cup, for the cough that I still don't have
Ya van muchos años
It's been many years
Que no se me quita y todavía ando tomando
That won't go away and I'm still drinking
Pura codeína
Straight codeine
Y negociando, ea
And negotiating, yeah
Finiquera transitando con ojos tumbados
Cruising through Phoenix with droopy eyes
Fendi white, tomando
White Fendi, sipping
Ladeando en mi casa de tanto que me he ingresado
Leaning in my house from how much I've dosed
Allá por Peñasco
Over in Peñasco
Compa Curro al tiro con su gente, anda chambeando
Buddy Curro on point with his people, he's working
MG el respaldo
MG the backup
Aquí me despido
Here I say goodbye
Forjando unos Sour Diesel pa' ponerme al tiro
Rolling some Sour Diesel to get myself sharp
No tires volantes
Don't throw flyers
Es mejor quedarse callados antes que hable
It's better to stay quiet before someone talks
No está permitido
It's not allowed
No diré la clave y hacer nampa a sus amigos
I won't say the code and mess with your friends
Repite el corrido
Repeat the corrido
Y el vasito
And the little cup
