-or an an americana, alt.country band formed in 2005 by singer, songwriter, guitarist Mark Dubin and drummer Jong "Chino" Leon.

Their music and performances are built on classic country rock and straight up punk ethics... loud guitars, acoustic harmonies, and laid back rhythms underneath tales of dishonesty, jealousy, and greed.

The guys in the band have come from some of the most influential and important South Florida underground bands from the past two decades. Cutting their teeth in seminal punk bands such as the Johnsons, the Hang Ups, and the Holy Terrors and earning hard fought critical acclaim as members of Nuclear Valdez, Amazing Grace, and the Comatones… the boys in Los Diablos have paid plenty of debts off along the way.

Los Diablos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hace tiempo me fui de mi hogar,
y pensé tal vez triunfar,
trabajando me puse a luchar,
solo pude fracasar,
solo pude fracasar.

Cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar y tenerte a ti

cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar es triunfar para mí.

La fortuna jamás me sonrió,
hasta que te conocí,
fuiste un rayo de sol para mí,
que alumbró mi porvenir,
que alumbró mi porvenir.

Cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar y tenerte a ti
cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar es triunfar para mí.

Tanto has cambiado,
mi forma de vivir,
que creo ya he olvidado,
todo lo que sufrí.

Hace tiempo me fui de mi hogar,
y pensé tal vez triunfar,
trabajando me puse a luchar,
solo pude fracasar,
solo pude fracasar.

Cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar y tenerte a ti
cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar es triunfar para mí.
Cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar y tenerte a ti

cantar y cantar y ganar tu cariño,
cantar y cantar es triunfar para mí.
