Periquito Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Periquito by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.
And a little coke keeps me relaxed
It comes uncut; if it's not pure, I don't hit it
The Gucci bag, always perfectly slung
Off-White and Supreme, I'm really wired
In the two-door, always speeding
I roll with no hurry, but always well loaded
Inside I've got a blonde babe by my side
She doesn't make a scene or give me any grief
Another morning and I don't remember what I did
I think that we partied in several countries
Well, it doesn't matter, you were only one night
See you soon, that's what I told all of them
I don't even know where I'm going
But I'm always super faded
Why would I tell them no?
If I like the action
The double cup is gone
The party got me started
And only corridos tumbados, fellas
Sleep won't come and I already feel it's morning
Here in the H, you can see the caravans roll by
Buddy Carlitos, bring out the washed one
Whether strawberry, coconut with banana
If it doesn't benefit me, better not even stir things up
I carry a schedule that hasn't finished yet
It's the pending things that piled up
Don't worry, it's under control
And a little coke keeps me relaxed
It comes uncut; if it's not pure, I don't hit it
The Gucci bag, always perfectly slung
Off-White and Supreme, I'm really wired
I don't even know where I'm going
But I'm always super faded
Why would I tell them no?
If I like the action
The double cup is gone
The party got me started, eh
And only corridos tumbados, fellas

SONG MEANING

Natanael Cano turns up the volume on his signature corridos tumbados style with “Periquito,” painting a vivid picture of a restless night fueled by luxury brands, fast cars, and a steady stream of party enhancers. The “periquito” (literally “parakeet”) is Mexican slang for cocaine, the little companion that keeps him alivianado—chilled yet wired—while he flashes Gucci bags, Off-White and Supreme gear, and roars down the highway in a two-door ride. Every line oozes bravado: he might not even remember what country last night’s fiesta was in, but he knows he always rolls first-class and never settles for anything “sin corte” (cut or low-grade).

Beneath the swagger, the song hints at an endless loop of adrenaline and distraction. Cano admits he has no idea where he’s headed, but staying tumbadón (laid-back yet buzzing) is non-negotiable. Tasks pile up, mornings blur into nights, and yet the agenda somehow remains “controlado.” “Periquito” is equal parts celebration and cautionary snapshot—a thrill ride through modern Mexican street culture where designer labels, late-night caravans, and double cups define success, and the party never really stops.
