Archivado en: Gabito Ballesteros  •   Peso Pluma  •  

It’s hard for a week to pass without Peso Pluma surprising us with a new collaboration. The truth is, the Mexican star has a release rate incomparable to any other artist, being able to drop several hits in the same month at a truly surprising pace. So, we weren’t going to end May any other way! Now, Doble P has just released ‘Sin Yolanda’ with his friend and compatriot, Gabito Ballesteros.

Peso Pluma and Ballesteros are two of the leading figures in Mexican corridos tumbados, a subgenre that has revolutionized the music industry and has taken Mexican and Spanish-speaking music to another level, placing it at the top of the charts both in and outside the United States.

In less than 24 hours, ‘Sin Yolanda’ has accumulated almost half a million views on YouTube. A clear proof that fans of these young icons eagerly await this release. A new song that adds to a long list of collaborations between Doble P and Gabito, where we already find ‘AMG,’ ‘El Tsurito,’ or the super hit ‘LADY GAGA.’

‘Sin Yolanda’: Meaning

But, what does the title of the song ‘Sin Yolanda’ mean? The truth is, even translated it wouldn’t make sense to a reader outside of Mexico, as it’s an expression native to its capital, Mexico City. The complete version of this expression is «Sin Yolanda, Maricarmen,» and it’s used to tell someone not to get too emotional. Something like «no crying.»

The truth is that the title of the song fits perfectly with the lyrics, where Peso Pluma and Gabito Ballesteros boast again of luxuries and their sporadic relationships with women. In a way, they sing about living in the moment and not having any emotional commitments or ties.

Sin Yolanda: Translation & Lyrics in English

[Verse 1: Peso Pluma]

And the girls ask for location, they’re all from the university
Man, we pull them
Right now I’m at a party, if it’s not to enjoy it I don’t pay attention to them
The options are unlimited, ask for whatever you want, queen
Call all your bandits, tell them there are bandits ready to give them a fight

[Pre-Chorus: Gabito Ballesteros]

Riding in the Cadillac One, quality always exceeds wherever you look
I carry the Everest in a bag, plenty of snow but no sleep
Keys like in Vice City, asses, powder, and money are eternal here
The shorty got her lips done, I sent her to surgery, I got a new Barbie now

[Chorus: Peso Pluma & Gabito Ballesteros]

Sin Yolanda, the white booties, marked Holland
They just see the Lambo and see what’s up
Pure influencers is what’s around
Your boyfriend’s just chilling, I’m Dom Pérignon so you move those hips
My main thing, money, and more princesses
Your cocaine like Lil Wayne, they see me at night

[Interlude: Gabito Ballesteros & Peso Pluma]

Uh!
My buddy Gabito!
And that’s how his buddy Gabito sounds, man
Pure Doble P, damn, man
Pure Tumbado Corridos
And just so you know, up with Mexico, damn

[Verse 2: Gabito Ballesteros]

The ones shaking their butt on TikTok, I got them shaking their butt right now
A million diamonds in their teeth
Like Katy Perry, the girls have faces
Dom Pérignon Lady Gaga, ravioli in Italy with an Argentine
30K is nothing, here we fly with just celebrities

[Pre-Chorus: Peso Pluma]

Riding in the Cadillac One, quality always exceeds wherever I look
I carry the Everest in a bag, plenty of snow but no sleep
Keys like in Vice City, asses, powder, and money are eternal here
The shorty got her lips done, I sent her to surgery, I got a new Barbie now

[Chorus: Gabito Ballesteros & Peso Pluma]

Sin Yolanda, the white booties, marked Holland
They just see the Lambo and see what’s up
Pure influencers is what’s around
Your boyfriend’s just chilling, I’m Dom Pérignon so you move those hips
My main thing, money, and more princesses
Your cocaine like Lil Wayne, they see me at night

[Outro: Peso Pluma]

Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
And just Tumbado Corridos, buddy Gabito
Bye!
Pure Doble P, man
