Cuento Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

🎸 Heartbreak hits different when it's wrapped in corridos tumbados. In Cuento, Natanael Cano spins a late-night confession where regional guitars and streetwise slang collide. The title translates to “story”, and Cano wastes no time telling his: he is spinning from a love that has him “bien loco”, sipping, venting and insisting his ex will never find anyone better.

Between self-deprecating jabs (pendejo yo fui) and devilish accusations (peor que el diablo), the song captures that messy space between pride and pain. He pleads for a simple answer over the phone, swears there was no betrayal on his side, then backtracks with playful insults and bravado. The result is a raw, relatable tale of wounded ego and lingering desire, perfect for learners who want to hear how everyday Spanish expresses heartbreak, swagger and vulnerability in just a few punchy verses.
