Natanael Cano’s “El Toro Encartado” turns the volume up on bravado. Channeling the persona of a lone, unstoppable bull, Cano tells rivals to face him head-on, promising he can handle any challenger without backup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the corridos tumbados world: loyalty is fragile, betrayal lurks among business partners, and power is measured in fearless showdowns. His boasts stretch from local streets to an international stage, name-checking Mexico, the United States, and several Latin American countries to underline just how far his influence reaches.
Underneath the swagger lies a mix of dark humor and chilling threats. Cano talks about “consultations” delivered to enemies’ doorsteps, coffins wrapped like luxury gifts, and bullet-filled farewells for those who cross him. The references to fallen icons and personal loss give the track a gritty realism, reminding listeners that the stakes in this underworld are life and death. Ultimately, “El Toro Encartado” celebrates resilience and dominance: if you come for the bull, be ready for the horns.
