Locos Eternos Lyrics in English by Neto Peña, Turek Hem
Lococho is a playful Mexican slang term related to loco, meaning “crazy” or “eccentric.” In the song, Neto Peña calls himself a “pobre lococho,” turning the label into a memorable part of his rebellious, unconventional identity while insisting that he will remain true to himself.
“Locos Eternos” is a loud promise of survival through music. Neto Peña and Turek Hem describe themselves as “pobres locochos” [poor crazy guys], saying that money can rain down without changing who they are. The central boast is simple: “Pasan los años y yo estaré” [Years will pass and I will still be here]. Their music will keep playing, so they will not disappear. “No tengo stop, voy a volverme eterno” [I have no stop, I’m going to become eternal] turns that idea into a mission. In this song, becoming “eternal” means leaving a mark through rap rather than living forever literally.
The verses mix street pride, hard work, jokes, and threats. The former troublemaker says, “Me reformé” [I changed my ways], while still warning rivals not to provoke him. Two young men have become “lobos” [wolves] who bite back, and their fire cannot be put out once it is lit. “La cosecha no se va a dar sola” [The harvest will not grow by itself] gives the song its work ethic: he keeps moving because he wants to go worldwide. There is also a playful line about needing “Una cerveza, mami, porque aquí me derrito” [A beer, baby, because I’m melting here]. By the end, the “niño del barrio” [neighborhood boy] calls himself “rey del bloque” [king of the block], while giving respect to the streets and his parents. It is brash, funny, and determined, with the chorus turning that attitude into one stubborn message: the years can pass, but these “locos” plan to remain.
