Despite the warnings, decides to go to Soacha Galan

Very common in Colombian speech for a quick or unannounced departure. Often implies urgency or a desire to leave before something happens. Used across many social registers.

Literally 'toad'. Widely used across Colombia to refer to someone who passes information to authorities or enemies. Carries a strong social stigma in criminal and street contexts.

In everyday Colombian speech, 'burundanga' can mean a confusing mess or serious trouble ahead. (Note: the word also refers to scopolamine, a real drug, but that meaning is context-specific and not the usage here.)

Literally 'to cover with paper'. Used both for physically blanketing an area with printed material and, in legal contexts, for burying someone in charges or documents.

'Pelar' in this context means to kill. 'Pelar al patrón' is a specific expression from Colombian criminal registers meaning to assassinate the boss. 'Pelar' alone in other contexts means to peel or to skin, so context is essential.

A strong expression of total collapse or ruin. 'Nos llevó el putas' means everything went to hell. Used when a situation, plan, or relationship has catastrophically failed. Very coarse register.

A very common Colombian and pan-Hispanic saying meaning one must face the results of one's actions without regret or retreat. The image is of puffing out your chest to meet whatever comes.
