Verse 1

What a big gesture to exchange messages with death

Or: What a deal to be able to exchange messages with death

One with the seven engravings that carries a portrait

'Siete chinos' or 'siete petalillos' refers to the 7 parts of a pistol

To the lord of the mountain, of the drones, and the rest

Devil's horns next to my security

Cuernos del diablo (devil's horns) is a slang expression for guns, AK 47's

Old wolf in haste trafficking powder

God always takes care of me and my Elegua cap

Chorus 1

In my blood, I carry the 701

The 'El Chapo 701' brand gets its name from a Forbes listing in 2009 that ranked him the 701st richest person in the world

Lion's mane, because I come from one

Always tied to the mafia because we're not cowards

The young man keeps a low profile and is missed

Or: The kid keeps a low profile and is missed

Although he's gone, he's never forgotten

We're already war-ready, and we'll die war-ready

And with the epic corrido of the blue angel

I ask God for forgiveness for the sins

But that's how it is

Pure double P, man, pure Junior H, man

Verse 2

Blue Rolls-Royce

Like those little blue pills

That they often have to cross over to Phoenix

The money made me fall in love, I want, I want and I want more

Devil's horns and a commando my security

Cuernos del diablo (devil's horns) is a slang expression for guns, AK 47's

Old wolf in haste trafficking powder

God always takes care of me and my Elegua cap

Chorus 2

In my blood, I carry the 701

Mane of a lion, because I come from one

Always tied to the mafia because we're not cowards

The young man keeps a low profile and is missed

To a Ruiz, the one never forgotten

We are war-ready, we die war-ready

And with the epic corrido of the blue angel

'El Azul' is the nickname of a Mexican drug trafficker and one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel

I ask my God for forgiveness for the sins

But that's how it is

Bélicos — Warlike / Bellicose

Bélico literally means 'warlike' or 'bellicose', deriving from the Latin word for war, bellum.

This powerful adjective is the key to understanding an entire modern genre of Mexican music: corridos bélicos. These songs are characterized by their aggressive energy and lyrics about conflict, power, and a confrontational lifestyle. In the song, the artists proudly declare, "Bélicos ya somos, bélicos morimos" (We are already warlike, we die warlike), fully embracing this defiant identity.

"El Azul" brings Junior H and Peso Pluma together for a heavy-hitting corrido tumbado that stares straight down the barrel of the underworld.

The lyrics mix extreme danger with personal faith and status symbols. The narrator chats casually with danger ("Qué detallazo pa' mensajear con la muerte" [What a nice detail to text with death]) while carrying "cuernos del diablo" [horns of the devil, Mexican slang for AK-47 rifles] alongside a private security squad. He seeks spiritual protection through a baseball cap honoring Eleguá ("mi gorrita de Elegua" [my little Elegua cap]), the Santería orisha of roads and crossroads, while cruising in a blue Rolls-Royce.

There is no sugarcoating the illicit work: the track mentions trafficking powder up to "la finiquera" [slang for Phoenix, Arizona] and directly references "el 701", the infamous number tied to drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán from his spot on the Forbes billionaire list. Even with the adrenaline and wealth, the song ends on a blunt, fatalistic confession: "Bélicos ya somos, bélicos morimos" [Warriors we are, warriors we die] and asking God for forgiveness for their sins, simply shrug-ging it off with "pero así es esto" [but that is just how this goes].
