LA 701 Lyrics in English Tito Double P , Luis R Conriquez

Home / Lyrics Translation / Tito Double P / LA 701

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song LA 701 by Tito Double P from Spanish to English.

Really, how Joaquín is missed

And although he is not here, the legacy is strong

And well, I couldn't say goodbye, but from here I send a hug

I didn't see this coming, but I'm here now, where do I go now?

But life is like this, I send to say to be careful

Badiraguato, the mountains where I grew up, in the ranch La Tuna

Paths between trails, it had its caves made to its size

Puente Grande was the place, how to forget that famous escape

And several years ago, for wanting to kill him, they took a priest

When the old man partied, always strapped with the 701

Good rhythm for dancing, good steps with a blonde hair

A lot of security all around, relaxed and secure

In charge of Cholo Iván, pure ex-military, more armored than a wall

Let's go to Culiacán, buddy Tito Doble P, old man

And cheer up, buddy Luis R

Happy and in love, through several ranches he left several seeds

The oldest is Archivaldo, along with his brother and those from Jesús María

One or two more around without mentioning, but they are still family

Edgar is going to take care of them, I will pray for him, a hug up high

Friendships of greatness and for wars very few came to me

Compadres everywhere, but in my absence one changed sides

A federal agent was enough to be locked up here

For not wanting to settle, my Cholo Iván would have executed him

With this I say goodbye to my friends, to my ranch and my mother

Play beautiful corridos, those old ones, like the one from my compadre

SONG MEANING

**“LA 701” feels like an audio postcard sent straight from the heart of Mexico’s rugged Sierra Madre. Sung in first person, the lyrics step into the boots of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, the legendary capo who once ranked 701st on Forbes’ billionaires list – the number that gives the song its title. Over lively accordion riffs, Tito Double P and Luis R Conriquez reminisce about El Chapo’s roots in Badiraguato, his famous escape from Puente Grande prison, and the larger-than-life fiestas where he danced with a blonde on his hip and a trusty “701” pistol in his belt. The verses paint a portrait of a man who balances fearlessness with nostalgia, sending hugs to fallen friends, warning allies to stay sharp, and proudly naming the children who will carry on his legacy.

Between pulsing corrido rhythms, the song blends celebration and caution. It salutes loyalty (shout-out to Cholo Iván and the ex-military bodyguards), mourns betrayals that landed the kingpin behind bars, and closes with a touching farewell to his hometown, his mother, and the old-school corridos that tell his story. “LA 701” is equal parts tribute, confession, and cautionary tale – a musical snapshot of power, family, and the high stakes of life inside Mexico’s narcoculture.
