‘La Patrulla’ by Peso Pluma and Neton Vega: Meaning and English Lyrics

Share:

‘La Patrulla’ blends several themes common in regional Mexican music, particularly corridos tumbados, a genre Peso Pluma is known for. The song reflects the protagonists’ journey from humble beginnings to success, with references to close calls and dangerous situations, especially “riding in the patrol.”

Despite these struggles, the song carries a celebratory tone, with the characters enjoying the fruits of their success by partying. They also express frustration with ‘two-faced’ people—those who aren’t genuine—a topic Hassan has recently addressed, calling many in the music industry ‘snakes.’

Love and romance also play a significant role, with the chorus focusing on affection. The singer expresses a longing to be close to a romantic partner, wanting to caress them and feel their presence. Additionally, there’s a mention of learning from an older figure or mentor who has guided them along the way.

In summary, ‘La Patrulla’ explores themes of success, resilience, overcoming challenges, and enjoying life, while also weaving in romantic desires and the complexities of navigating fame and fortune.

‘La Patrulla’ English Lyrics

[Neton Vega & Peso Pluma]

Look, who would’ve thought?
The kid rose to the top
He’s got plenty of quality
He’s dodged a few close calls while riding in the patrol
The desire to improve keeps me up at night
I’m still the same, I just changed the plans and now the media buzzes
And suddenly, we go out to party
Because today I can do what I like
The two-faced ones get on my nerves
And the worst part is that there are plenty of them

[Peso Pluma]

I’d die if you’re not here
Come over here, my girl, baby
Come on, call me on my cell
I want to caress you and feel your hair

[Both]

Just like that, compa Neton, so they know, old man
And that’s how Doble P sounds, old man
Pull your hair

[Peso Pluma]

I’ve learned everything from the old man, solid with his flag
It’s forbidden to say his name, he goes around the world and takes off in his jet
He senses danger and draws the Glock
I don’t say his name in case you’re wondering
I’m about to light up one made from grapes here
He’s dodged a few close calls while riding in the patrol

[Neton Vega]

I’d die if you’re not here
Come over here, my girl, baby
Call me, ring me on my cell
I want to caress you and feel your hair
