Ando En Lo Malo Lyrics in English Gabito Ballesteros , Adriel Favela

Ando En Lo Malo plunges us into the high-octane universe of modern Mexican corridos, where Gabito Ballesteros and Adriel Favela paint the portrait of an outlaw who lives for the rush. The title roughly translates to “I’m into the bad life,” and the lyrics are a vivid checklist of that life’s essentials: drugs that keep the eyes wide open, an AK-47 (el cuerno) that never leaves his side, quick stacks of cash (pacas), and the constant shadow of death (la calaca). The narrator moves through the night with sharpened instincts, bragging about Italian-mafia style and a personalized pistol “that carries the devil in its grips,” all while knowing every day is a coin-flip gamble (esto es un volado).

Far from glorifying mindless violence, the song captures the raw mentality of someone who feels safer surrounded by weapons than memories. He fears nothing, trusts few, and savors fleeting thrills because “esta vida es prestada”—this life is only on loan. Listeners get an unfiltered look at the adrenaline, bravado, and paranoia that drive the character forward, making the track both a catchy anthem and a cautionary snapshot of the perilous narco lifestyle that shapes parts of contemporary Mexico.
