Iniciales AL (Porte Fino) Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Iniciales AL (Porte Fino) by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.
With a fine swagger on the streets where I grew up
Who would've said that someday I was gonna be here
Sitting in front of those people that didn't believe in me
Now everything's different, I already stood out
They whisper that this kid wasn't gonna achieve anything
That the streets are the only place that he goes
A dead-end alley, I couldn't take anymore
But I shut their snouts and now they talk even more
Just because I stumble doesn't mean I'll stay down
Good brain, intelligence to prosper
With time I kept advancing toward a better place
I'm still not where I wanna be
I've already shut their snouts more than once
And even if you throw stones, they'll bite
If they see me going f*cking fast on the freeway it's 'cause I'm good
Today I only feel like laughing
I don't have any reason at all not to be happy
With Gucci shades on my eyes and an elegant suit to wear
Today I don't wanna stop, I got back on my path and envy stays behind
There are initials of that man that people went to talk about
They whisper that this kid wasn't gonna achieve anything
That the streets are the only place that he goes
A dead-end alley, I couldn't take anymore
But I shut their snouts and now they talk even more
Struggling since I was a kid and I didn't back down
A mother's blessing isn't gonna change
The oldest of two brothers is gonna achieve everything
And with effort this ship is gonna rise
My Saint Jude protects me and he's my future
California's the state and today I'm here
Making green to live happy
With family on my mind
And it's always been like that
I've already shut their snouts more than once
And even if you throw stones, they'll bite
If they see me going f*cking fast on the freeway
It's 'cause I'm good
Today I only feel like laughing
I don't have a reason
At all for not being happy
With Gucci shades on my eyes
And an elegant suit to wear
Today I don't wanna stop
I already got back on my path
And envy behind
There are initials of that man
That people went to talk about

SONG MEANING

Natanael Cano’s “Iniciales AL (Porte Fino)” is a swagger-filled victory lap. The Mexican star looks back at the rough streets where he grew up, remembering how critics once said he would end up in a dead-end alley. Now he cruises California freeways in Gucci shades and a sharp suit, proving every doubter wrong. The song celebrates grinding past obstacles with brainpower, street smarts, and his mother’s blessing, while tipping a hat to his protector San Judas and the mysterious initials “AL” that spark neighborhood gossip.

Cano’s message is clear: success tastes even sweeter when it’s earned against the odds. He’s still climbing higher, but for the moment he’s soaking in laughter, family pride, and the satisfaction of having “taped their mouths shut” more than once. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever been underestimated yet refused to stop, turning envy into fuel on the road to a finer life.
