Morritas Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Morritas by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
The girl's calling me
She wants me to go see her right now
I'll give her what she needs
She hugs me and feels the little Glock
And I'm iced out to the teeth
They think I'm a criminal
Because of the smoke and this vibe
Since I'm rolling with so many people
Chorus 1
Upwards for what, downwards
Don't ask me what's in my cup
Two Cayennes keep up with the pace
She's got two skulls on her arm
Affirmative, five by five, on point
In the Benz I put on corridos
She turns it down so it won't make more noise
Her dude thinks I'm his friend
And that's how the tumbados sound, babe
Verse 2
Today we tip the scales
And even if he floors it, he can't catch me
The sports car always passes them
Burning some good herb
And now they just look up at me
They come and tell me they care about me
They don't even know me, they just look
At how I move, how it shines
Her eyes have me wrapped up
Her perfume smelling like skin
The wind steals your kisses from me
What we lived were moments
Chorus 2
Upwards for what, downwards
Don't ask me what's in my cup
Two Cayennes keep up with the pace
She's got two skulls on her arm
Affirmative, five by five, on point
In the Benz I put on corridos
She turns it down so it won't make more noise
Her dude thinks I'm his friend

SONG MEANING

Natanael Cano invites us into his flashy, adrenaline-charged universe where la morrita calls, the Glock is tucked close, and diamonds sparkle even brighter under club lights. “Morritas” paints the picture of a young outlaw who juggles secret rendezvous, luxury rides, and a reputation that keeps everyone guessing. Cano’s narrator speeds through the night in a Mercedes, flanked by two Porsche Cayennes, while corridos boom from the speakers and sweet smoke drifts through the air. The girl at the center of the song clings to the thrill, lowering the music to keep their affair hidden from her unsuspecting boyfriend.

Beneath the bragging lies a sharp commentary on image and perception: people see the entourage, the weapons, the shimmering jewelry, and quickly label him a criminal. Yet for the singer, this risky lifestyle is a badge of success—a way to “dominate the scale” and move forever upward. With its mix of swagger, danger, and forbidden romance, “Morritas” captures the essence of corridos tumbados: youthful rebellion set to a hypnotic beat that makes you feel like you’re riding shotgun on the most exciting, if perilous, night of the year.
