Home / Lyrics Translation / Natanael Cano / Yo Le Batallé

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Le Batallé by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.

I struggled a lot to get up top

If I told you how life spins around

But in business there's always plenty of envy

You give them a hand but they forget that

And it's several years that I've been sittin' in the chair

I came from the bottom and turned into a leader

They don't laugh at me, I'm no longer the one that watches his back

You are the nails and I'm the one that hammers, and no

Quit searching, I always keep you in check at my level

And the one that doesn't like it, let him bounce because there's everything here

To finish off the one that crosses the line, I'm not alone

I have over twenty people guarding my throne

Sorry, Dad, for being like this

I found out that the street is where the money is

I lit the fuse and went to take down the a**holes

That didn't believe

I'm never gonna let myself

And talking's always too much

With my clique and with my dogs

I always keep myself wherever I am

I know real well where I'm going

And that's how it sounds

And that's how Ovi sounds, bro

And only corridos tumbados, fellas

Yeah!

If I told you how life spins around

Sometimes down, thank God today on top

They saw me fall but right now they don't dare

They let themselves be seen and we ran over them

Sorry, Dad, for being like this

I found out that in the streets is where the money is

I lit the fuse and went to hunt the a**holes

That didn't believe

I'm never gonna let myself

And talking's always too much

For my people and with my people I'm always gonna be here

I dress sharp, high as f*ck for L.A

SONG MEANING

Yo Le Batallé is a swagger-packed corrido tumbado where Natanael Cano and Ovi turn their life story into a street anthem. Over a gritty guitar groove, they remind listeners that they scraped, stumbled, and fought their way from the bottom to the boss’s chair. Every verse mixes memories of hardship with flashes of new-found wealth, calling out the envy that follows success and praising the tight-knit crew that helped them flip destiny in their favor.

At its core, the song is both a victory lap and a warning. Cano apologizes to his father for the risky path he chose, yet he can’t deny that “la calle” is where the money—and his pride—came from. Surrounded by more than twenty loyal protectors, he dares any doubter to step up while reminding us that talk is cheap and action rules. Loyalty, resilience, and unapologetic confidence power this track, making it a rousing reminder that if you survive the struggle, you get to swing the hammer instead of being the nail.
