We are the ones here, we are few but

crazy and we don't back down, always well the

radio when the ground has been played sideways

and whoever gets in the way, well, we deal with them

babe

To sing, talking behind the backs of

the people, I have recommended to the few face-to-

face, this is for the brave ones, but in

these times, now anyone has caused trouble

and now they act quickly

I want more than to be afraid of a motherf*cker

It's necessary, a talkative legislator, under

so much

grass, our eyes, I always carry on my

belt a .38 on its body, double

magazine, no bad streak of any

dwarf, since we're doing great, a sniper

dove

Dance, under this variant, don't back down, my

babe

To the two brothers, you are always the

arrested one, even if you're locked up, but

decadent navigation, the boat keeps

focusing, because we are many who

work

Knowingly, this life has ups and downs

one must be careful with them, first the

work is very necessary to bring

money, you have to earn it to enjoy

the parties we throw, and pay a lot of

attention

We are always ready for action

for those who, in their just way, we are

living, they look to walk for one or two days

and there's something to celebrate, and we grab it

so they don't stop us, how are they going to fight?

Nobody will take it from them

rajamos — we back down / we chicken out

Rajamos comes from the verb rajarse, which literally means "to tear" or "to crack". However, in Mexican slang, it's commonly used to mean "to back down," "to chicken out," or "to give up" on something.

In the context of "Los Bachas," the lyrics state, "Locos y no nos rajamos," which translates to "Crazy and we don't back down." This phrase highlights the group's resilience and determination, emphasizing that they are fearless and committed, no matter the challenge. It's an interesting word because it reveals a common idiomatic expression in Spanish that might not be immediately obvious from its literal translation.

Tomas Ballardo's "Los Bachas" is all about loyalty, courage, and living life on your own terms. The song kicks off with a strong statement: "somos los que estamos somos pocos pero locos y no nos rajamos" [we are who we are, we are few but crazy and we don't back down]. It's a declaration of being a tight-knit group that's not afraid to stand up for themselves, especially when others talk behind their backs. They prefer directness, saying "para cantar hablando a las espaldas de la gente he recomendado a las pocas de frente" [to sing talking behind people's backs, I've recommended to the few to do it to their face].

Ballardo also touches on the importance of hard work and earning your way, reminding us that "primero el trabajo es muy necesario para traer dinero tienes que ganarlo" [first, work is very necessary to bring in money, you have to earn it]. It's a song about facing challenges head-on, enjoying life's rewards, and always being ready for whatever comes next, because "estamos sirve siempre al pie del cañón" [we are always at the foot of the cannon].
