El Hijo Mayor Lyrics in English Junior H

Home / Lyrics Translation / Junior H / El Hijo Mayor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Hijo Mayor by Junior H from Spanish to English.

Live from Hermosillo, Sonora

From the big-time corridos, El Hijo Mayor with the big band

Let's go, man

You don't see it drive by anymore

That black Camaro through the streets hauling *ss with his crew

Many will remember him

And I know that they'll miss him

Just like his way was, fast, reckless and very brave

Up in the sierra, where he hung out

And he'd chill smoking a joint

But sharp like an eagle in case some business popped up

Sports cars, trucks, the heavy ones

The short and long guns he carried

Just in case they were needed, in case some business popped up

He was addicted to adrenaline

That's what fired him up and got the job done quick

In the convoy, pure suicidals

Ready to blast, they didn't think twice

By now you'll know who I'm talking about

I can't even mention his name

I was the oldest son of that much-talked-about man

A thousand stories to tell

So much to chat about

They're memories that only stay engraved in his people's minds

A man with the voice of command

Shooting the devil himself

Always leading his squad and in the sierra how many battles we won

how we fired shots

With very good gear

And in my dad's outfit there's that and more

But he didn't know what awaited him

A bad move suddenly came

But that's life, it suddenly slips away from us

He was addicted to adrenaline

That's what fired him up and got the job done quick

In the convoy, pure suicidals

Ready to blast, they didn't think twice

By now you'll know who I'm talking about

I can't even mention his name

I was the oldest son of that much-talked-about man

SONG MEANING

Buckle up and keep your eyes peeled – Junior H takes us on a high-speed ride through the dusty roads of Sonora with El Hijo Mayor. This corrido paints the larger-than-life portrait of a legendary firstborn son who lived for thrills. Picture a black Camaro roaring past, pistols glinting under the desert sun, and a crew of fearless friends ready for action at a moment’s notice. Our narrator salutes this adrenaline junkie’s flashy cars, late-night escapades in the mountains, and no-nonsense leadership that won battles for his father’s powerful “empresa.”

Yet beneath the swagger lies a cautionary tale. Even the boldest outlaw can’t outrun fate; a sudden betrayal ends the saga in a heartbeat. The song becomes both a tribute and a lament, reminding listeners that in the dangerous world of cartels, glory and grief drive side by side. Junior H delivers a heartfelt mix of pride, nostalgia, and somber reflection, turning the life of El Hijo Mayor into an unforgettable ballad about loyalty, risk, and the razor-thin line between victory and downfall.
