Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Crónicas De Un Gallo by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.

Vague thoughts from a year ago

When he walks through the hood

Look how far the kid has gotten, today he's a rooster

Fierce for fighting, solid for the errands

If they escape we find them, if they're foes we chop them up

I grew up

Surrounded by bad heads, that's why I learned

The wrong steps of the life that I want to be in

I will never back down

I walk through the blaze, I'm the fire

Known by the mafia as Ñengo

I go forward, I don't sell my brothers

I don't get bummed, killing them entertains me

And here betrayal doesn't exist

I don't understand

Why he talks so much but doesn't have a peso

The wallet always full of money

Benjamins don't fall from the sky

I'm never gonna die

I was born on the street

And I never turned on anybody

I die for all my people, I know they die for me

Whoever messed up, the d*ck took him

Some are underground

And the ones alive don't live better than me

I don't understand

Why so many people fear me

I don't owe, I just have what I want

If you puff up, I empty you with the guns

I'm never gonna die

And only Corridos Tumbados, fellas

Yeah

And that's how it sounds

And that's how Ovi sounds, bro

This is Real G 4 Life baby

Hell yeah, motherf*ckers

Hahaha

With my buddy Ovi

And my buddy Nata

For real

The difference

P*ssy!

Some time ago I was struggling

Thanks to God we made it

Short rifles, long ones too

I make and undo them my way

That's how I was trained, problems don't matter to me

Since I was a kid they taught me

Not to beg

To earn my own money, I do know how to get it

I'm still

The same Ñengo with the same thoughts

From back then

I'm controlling, I'm in command

I handle it

I have what I want because I move and yet

They try to drop me and I don't fall

I'm still firm with the same ones, I'm counting on you

Real G 4 Life

Ovi

Tell me Ñengo

Chreezus

Yo, tell me Jean Paul

Here we're Rancho Humilde

And the flag held high

SONG MEANING

Crónicas De Un Gallo paints the raw before-and-after portrait of a kid from the barrio who has grown into an unstoppable “gallo” ‑ a fighting rooster known for courage and swagger. Natanael Cano, joined by Ovi and Ñengo Flow, recounts blurry memories of hustling in rough streets, where loyalty is law and betrayal earns swift payback. Over gritty corridos tumbados guitars and trap drums, the trio celebrates self-made success, fat wallets, and the thrill of proving enemies wrong, all while promising they will never back down or die timidly.

Beneath the bravado lies a survival manual: learn fast, fear nothing, protect your circle, and make your own money because “los Benjamines no se ven del cielo.” The rooster metaphor reminds listeners that the singers are always ready to fight, yet their crowing pride is rooted in love for “toda mi gente.” The result is an anthem of street resilience that blends regional Mexican storytelling with urban flow, inviting learners to explore slang, confidence, and the complex code of honor that rules life on the edge.
