AFS Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Home / Lyrics Translation / Natanael Cano / AFS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song AFS by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.

We started at an early age

He taught himself to work alone

Now life smiled on him and won't make him change

It won't even need mentioning

The backup he carries is from family

With his people always aiming high

Well prepared for whatever might happen

Don't get bummed, 'cause there's Chapo for more

With my people for whatever they say

They know that there's no way out here

We're hustling on the move

And we're killing at random

I'm not asking and why talk

And here we're all the real ones

Memories remain from that day

They f*cked up, they were already after them

On top of the armored truck with a big corrido

Buddy Kaby, get into action

Since I'm the one who knows the trail anyway

The youngsters over there are packing a huge burner

Plus the rides we bring here in the convoy

On the radio you can hear the boss

I'm getting out of here, however I can

You youngsters stay in the war

That's what you carry the flag for

And it's not just any, it's a big piece

Here we are in the desert

Salazar, for whoever asked

They can't cross to the US side

There's no need, there's plenty of work here

The flag of that old man is respected here

Let Alfredo Salazar be heard

And have the kilos cross through the towns

They watch the small planes coming down

They leave loaded, heavier than heavy

Good pilots, the ones going out

The little ride for whatever they say

They see it with the crew up front

We're hustling on the move

Fighting whatever needs fighting

Fear doesn't exist, there's loyalty here

And the cash, no need to even say

We started at an early age

He taught himself to work alone

Now life smiled on him and won't make him change

It won't even need mentioning

The backup he carries is from family

With his people always aiming high

Well prepared for whatever might happen

Don't get bummed, 'cause there's Chapo for more

With my people for whatever they say

They know that there's no way out here

We're hustling on the move

And we're killing at random

I'm not asking, and why talk

And here we're all the real ones

SONG MEANING

AFS plunges us into a modern corrido where Natanael Cano narrates the rise of a young hustler who jumps into the game “a temprana edad.” Backed by unwavering family support, the protagonist moves weight, cruises in armored convoys, and keeps the radio tuned to orders from powerful figures like El Chapo and Alfredo Salazar (the initials behind the title). The song paints a cinematic picture of desert backroads, low-flying planes, and night-time runs across the border, all fueled by adrenaline, loyalty, and an ever-present soundtrack blasting through bulletproof windows.

Beneath the swagger lies a simple code: trabajo, lealtad y familia. Cano celebrates the grit of those who “no se agüiten,” face danger head-on, and measure success in stacks of cash and the respect of their crew. “AFS” is equal parts anthem and warning—an unflinching look at the high-stakes lifestyle that defines Mexico’s narcocultura, told with the brash confidence and regional flair that have made Natanael Cano a voice of his generation.
