El Jr Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

El Jr is Natanael Cano’s swagger-packed self-portrait. Sung from the viewpoint of René, better known as El Júnior, the corrido introduces a young man who splits his roots between Los Angeles and Mocorito, Sinaloa. Right away he salutes his parents—his mother most of all—and makes it clear that family pride drives everything he does.

From there the song plays like a sun-soaked highlight reel: vacations in Sinaloa, banda music blasting, cold beers in hand, and smooth dance moves with “una hermosa dama.” René thrills in fast cars, private planes, and baseball games, cheering for the Tomateros and the Dodgers while hanging out with cousins and homeboys. In the end, El Jr celebrates bicultural identity, carefree adventures, and unbreakable family bonds, all wrapped in a catchy corrido beat.
