(Ca-ne-lo)
(Ca-ne-lo)
(Ca-ne-lo)
The great champion (Ca-ne-lo) approaches the ring
Which pound for pound is the best (Ca-ne-lo)
He will fight with strength and heart (Ca-ne-lo)
And long live Mexico, you bastard!
Discipline, intelligence in every blow he releases
With his fists Canelo has no competition
The opponent bursts, on the canvas he feels
He goes head-on in the fight, even one trembles
From Jalisco to the whole world
They shout it always and with great pride
He will be forever champion of champions
And long live Mexico, bastards!
Okay
It is caliber 50
Give volume Noah
It's Emmanuel, oh
(Ca-ne-lo) your name in the history of boxing came to capture
(Ca-ne-lo) what he has never done, no one can erase
(Ca-ne-lo)
The great champion (Ca-ne-lo) approaches the ring
Which pound for pound is the best (Ca-ne-lo)
He will fight with strength and heart (Ca-ne-lo)
And long live Mexico, you bastard!
Come on, let's all shout yes you can
A right-hander of respect and a left-hander that hurts
The rival in the ropes in his hands you already have it
The knockout is approaching and people asked you
From Jalisco to the whole world
They shout it always and with great pride
He will be forever champion of champions
And long live Mexico, bastards!

plasmar — to capture / to express / to embody

Plasmar is a versatile verb that means to capture, express, or embody something, often in a lasting or artistic way. It's more profound than simply 'to write' or 'to put down'.

In "El Canelo," the lyric states, "tu nombre en la historia del boxeo llegó a plasmar" (your name came to be embodied/captured in the history of boxing). This implies that Canelo's legacy isn't just recorded, but deeply etched and represented within the sport's history, making his impact permanent and significant.

This song is a tribute to Canelo Álvarez, the Mexican boxing champion nicknamed "El Canelo." Calibre 50, joined by Emmanuel Delgado, praise his discipline, strength and skill in the ring, calling him pound-for-pound the best and champion of champions.

The lyrics capture the pride of his fans as he steps up to fight: chants of his name, shouts for his home state of Jalisco, and a defiant "long live Mexico" as he takes on every opponent.
