Home / Lyrics Translation / Natanael Cano / Bien Tumbado

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

I was 20 and I started as a kid

Working hard, struggling at it

Sending product to the gringos up north

And I started to multiply it

Serious, wealthy people, I started to connect with

And now they can't knock me down

Kicked back in a brand-new truck to patrol

And there you see them, they want to copy me

Dear God, thanks for one more day of life

You're with me always, whatever happens

And here we stay real solid in the hustle

We've got the gringos doing bumps

I know that one day the day of my departure will come, but today

Today I don't think that'll happen

Even though we gamble with our lives I don't pray

My mom does that

And that's how it sounds

That's how Ovi sounds, bro

Ay ay ay

And his buddy Nat, old-timers

Nothing but corridos tumbados, man

There's a lot of envy, but it doesn't scare me

They're just zeros on the left

They want to bring me down, that's not true

They don't dare, they ain't got b*lls

I really walk the crooked path, why talk to them any more?

I don't get it, I don't understand, I'd rather light one up

Dear God, thanks for one more day of life

You're with me always, whatever happens

And here we stay real solid in the hustle

We've got the gringos doing bumps

With death at my side and tattooed clear on my skin

Saint Jude on my chest, a charm that I carry

And that's how they sound

The corridos tumbados, dog

Tell me, Cano

Tell me, ChrisO

Pure Rancho Humilde

SONG MEANING

Natanael Cano’s “Bien Tumbado” is a swagger-packed snapshot of a 20-year-old who has already plunged into the risky world of moving product “pal gabacho” (to the US) and turned that hustle into fast money, shiny trucks, and street respect. Over a modern corridos tumbados beat, the narrator brags about multiplying profits, riding in the newest pickup, and watching imitators try—and fail—to match his style. Yet amid the bravado he pauses to thank God for another day, hinting at the thin line between glory and danger in his lifestyle.

The song flips between gratitude and grit, painting a vivid picture of life on the edge: envy circles him, bullets could fly at any moment, but faith symbols like San Judas on his chest and his mother’s prayers keep him steady. Cano and his crew celebrate resilience, loyalty, and the thrill of outsmarting “los gringos” while staying “bien firmes en la movida.” It is an anthem for youth who feel invincible, a confession of the risks that come with quick riches, and a defining example of how corridos tumbados blend traditional storytelling with trap-style bravado to speak to a new generation.
