Verse 1

I navigate it everywhere, always with crossed eyes

Highlighted in the sphere, I always step carefully

I'm cheerful and unrestrained, I've liked vagrancy

Or: I am happy and unleashed, I liked laziness

I'm well connected and well cured of frights

Don't mess with the devil

Because you can get burned

Always thinking positive and I avoid the negative

I know very well what I say, I'm not usually confrontational

But I carry a Beretta for whoever acts too clever

Be careful, bastards, never mess with me

If you have any problem

I'll gladly here acknowledge it

I don't mess around or play games

Feet firmly on the ground, we're made of good stuff

My mother is my entire life and I'm ready for whatever comes

My family will have everything until the day that I die

Sorry to my bosses

For being a pain in the teeth

Verse 2

I've had bad experiences but I've never backed down

I remember when I hustled to make a penny

But today I've surpassed myself, well, I've worked very hard

I never gave up until the dice turned

Today I have what I want

But I don't act high and mighty

Today I know who's with me and who's the opportunist

You'll have plenty of friends when they know that there's money

And women will rain down on you, they all say "I love you"

But when you have nothing, people treat you like shit

That's why I walk alone

And I expect nothing from anyone

I'm the bum of the neighborhood that everyone looked down on

The one who wore used clothes and was treated like shit

The one everyone made fun of and closed a thousand doors on

The one everyone humiliated and even denied water to

Today things have changed

Today I've become very respected

SONG MEANING

Picture a young hustler cruising through the streets with half-closed eyes and a devilish grin. In Soy El Diablo, Natanael Cano adopts the fearless persona of “El Diablo,” a nickname that warns rivals to keep their distance. He flaunts his street smarts, a trusty Beretta, and a reputation built on equal parts party spirit and caution. The lyrics sketch a man who laughs in the face of danger, already “cured” of fear, and who dares anyone to test him at their own risk.

Yet the song is more than pure bravado; it is a rags-to-riches chronicle. Cano remembers scraping coins together, wearing second-hand clothes, and being mocked by the neighborhood. Refusing to quit, he works until the dice finally roll his way. Now money, respect, and romantic attention rain down, though he keeps his guard up against opportunists. Rooted by deep love for his mother and family, he promises to provide for them forever. The result is a corrido tumbado that mixes tough talk with hard-earned wisdom, celebrating resilience, loyalty, and the steep price of earning the title “El Diablo.”
