Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Siga La Mata Dando by Junior H from Spanish to English.

While the plants keep always yielding

Many of you are resting

I cruise around always everywhere

But for sure, I never look down

Years pass, times keep racing

I remember yesterday wilding with the homies

We were happy, we didn't see it

But there's no way to stay quiet

Thinking about how people have changed

Yesterday we were seven, today just four

While time goes and goes, passing by

You look in the mirror and wow, there are changes

You'll meet people anyway

Some criticize, but they're born deaf

Some admire you for all your achievements

And believe me that of those there are already very few

The corrido says it well, 'I haven't changed'

The few we were, we stay intact

For those friends, everything has happened

Only the memories keep on passing

A green blunt we keep passing around

The real ones aren't going to deny it

A bitter shot to the tight chest

And let's toast to those who forgot

They say that the plants keep on yielding

And even if you don't believe, look, look close, dude

There's shady people everywhere

You have to watch out for the fakest ones

Today I toast because the past already died

And in the future I don't know if we'll go on

If I learned something, it's that friends are few

And always may the plant keep yielding

SONG MEANING

Junior H’s “Que Siga La Mata Dando” feels like a late-night drive through memory lane and ambition. Over a laid-back corrido beat, the Mexican singer looks back at the old crew—“ayer éramos siete, hoy solo cuatro”—and realizes how quickly time, success, and betrayal can thin out a circle. He reminds us that the “mata” (literally a plant, metaphorically a money tree or source of fortune) keeps producing, so he refuses to look down or slow his grind. Between rolled blunts and bittersweet toasts, Junior H celebrates the real friends who stuck around, mourns the ones who drifted away, and warns us about the “gente corriente” lurking everywhere.

The chorus is a mantra for resilience: “que siga la mata dando.” It means keep the good things growing—keep hustling, keep creating, keep living. Even as the mirror shows new wrinkles and fewer comrades, the lesson is clear: count your true friends on one hand, stay alert for the fakes, and let yesterday’s troubles rest in peace. In the end, Junior H raises his glass to the future, determined to make sure the plant of prosperity, loyalty, and self-belief never stops bearing fruit.
