Asi Es El Morro Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Home / Lyrics translation / Natanael Cano / Asi Es El Morro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Asi Es El Morro by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.

I'm rolling a little joint

And I still remember those moments

that I didn't even break a plate

Now things have changed

I'm no longer that kid

that walked in the neighborhood

Now I like to spark up

to enjoy because life slips away from us

Let's go celebrate

with bottles of champagne

Many people criticize me

for the way that I dress

and for the car that I drive

They say, "What's he working at?"

for the way that I move

and the people that are by my side

Now they know well who I am

On their faces it already became clear

I don't tell lies

Listen closely to this corrido

Fake friends come up to me by the bunch

They just see me up in the big Mustang

But when I walked barefoot

and hustling, nobody came close

And now we're coming full force, my buddy Nata

with my homies from Grupo Sigma, man

and up with the H, man

Beside me there's always a good partner

that is the one who has been with me from the bottom

The business little by little keeps growing

We only wear Gucci and Fendi clothes

I also sport Louis Vuitton

and I like to ride in the big Jeep

or the Can-Am, nice and calm

so that they know how I spend my time

I hang out in California

together with all the boys from the crew that we formed

On a commercial flight, I go straight to Europe

I already know several places

When I play soccer

I score several goals on the opponents

and the boys always in action

I say goodbye, rolling my joint I go

I'm still the kid who plays soccer

only that now they see me with the big joint

I'm respectful and they respect me

I don't tolerate envy or betrayal

morrillo — kid / young guy

Morrillo is a colloquial term, particularly common in Mexico, that refers to a young boy or kid. It's a more informal and endearing way to say "niño" or "joven".

In "Así Es El Morro," Natanael Cano uses morrillo to reflect on his past, singing "Ya no soy ese morrillo que caminaba en el barrio" (I'm no longer that kid who used to walk in the neighborhood). This word choice highlights his transformation from a humble beginning to his current success, making it a key term for understanding the song's narrative of growth and change.

Asi Es El Morro is Natanael Cano’s swagger-filled autobiography set to the upbeat pulse of a corrido tumbado. In the lyrics he looks back at the days when he was just a morrillo (kid) walking the barrio barefoot, then fast-forwards to the present where he cruises in a Mustang, pops champagne, and sports Gucci, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton. The song becomes a victory lap: he has traded sidewalks for first-class flights, yet he reminds listeners that the same loyal crew and street-ball spirit travel with him everywhere he goes.

Behind the flashy cars and designer labels sits a lesson about loyalty and authenticity. Cano calls out the “falsos amigos” who only showed up once the money did, stresses respect for those who stayed since day one, and warns that envy and betrayal have no place in his orbit. The result is a lively anthem that celebrates grinding your way up, enjoying the spoils guilt-free, and never forgetting the kid who kicked soccer balls on dusty streets—that’s who the morro still is, just with a bigger cigar and a brighter spotlight.
