Hasta hacerse drogadicto

Saco su pistola escuadra

Y le disparo a su padre

Pero se guardo una bala

Que solo se disparara

En presencia de su madre

Did you like this lyrics translation?
plomo — lead
Plomo literally translates to "lead," the metal. However, in the context of this song and many other narcocorridos, "plomo" is a powerful and evocative slang term for "bullets" or "gunfire."
In "Entre Hierba Polvo Y Plomo," the title itself sets a grim scene: "Between Grass, Dust, and Lead." Here, "plomo" immediately signals danger and violence, referring to the bullets that are a constant presence in the world of drug trafficking described in the lyrics. It's a word that instantly conveys the harsh realities and deadly consequences faced by the characters in the song.
