Iniciales AL Lyrics in English Natanael Cano

Home / Lyrics Translation / Natanael Cano / Iniciales AL

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Iniciales AL by Natanael Cano from Spanish to English.

With a fine bearing on the streets where I grew up

Who'd say that someday I was gonna be here

Sitting in front of those people that didn't believe in me

Now everything is different, I've already stood out

It's said that this kid was gonna achieve nothing

That the streets were the only place he'd go

A dead-end street, he couldn't take it anymore

But I shut their traps and now they talk even more

Not because I stumble am I gonna stay there

Good brain, smarts to prosper

With time I kept moving toward a better place

I'm still not where I want to be

I've already shut their traps more than once

And even if you throw stones at them, they'll bite

If they see that I'm hauling *ss on the freeway it's because I'm doing fine

Today I just feel like laughing

I don't have any reason at all not to be happy

With Gucci shades on my eyes and an elegant suit to wear

Today I don't wanna stop, I've picked my path back up and envy stays behind

There are initials of that man that people went to talk about

It's said that this kid was gonna achieve nothing

That the streets were the only place he'd go

A dead-end street, he couldn't take it anymore

But I shut their traps and now they talk even more

Struggling since I was a kid and I didn't fall back

A mother's blessing won't ever change

The older of two brothers is gonna achieve everything

And this ship with effort is gonna rise

My Saint Jude protects me and he's my future

California's the state and today I'm here

Making green to live happy

With family on my mind

And it's always been like that

I've already shut their traps more than once

And even if you throw stones at them, they'll bite

If they see that I'm hauling *ss on the freeway

It's because I'm doing fine

Today I just feel like laughing

I have no reason

At all for not being happy

With Gucci shades on my eyes

And an elegant suit to wear

Today I don't wanna stop

I've already picked my path back up

And envy stays behind

There are initials of that man

That people went to talk about

SONG MEANING

“Iniciales AL” is Natanael Cano’s victory lap. Over swaggering guitars and a head-nodding beat, the young Mexican star recounts how he rocketed from rough neighborhood streets to freeway fast lanes, trading doubt for designer shades. Every lyric is a clap-back to the people who once said he would never make it: “Se murmura que este morro nada iba a lograr… Pero les tapé el hocico.” Instead of giving in, he leaned on sharp instincts, a mother’s blessing, Saint Jude’s protection, and an unbreakable work ethic to build a life of Gucci frames, elegant suits, and family-first priorities.

At its heart, the song is a motivational anthem about silencing naysayers, celebrating hard-won success, and keeping ambition alive. Even though Cano is already speeding down California freeways “en putiza,” he reminds us he still has farther to go—proof that confidence and gratitude can ride in the same luxury car. Listeners are left feeling the rush of relentless self-belief, sparkling prosperity, and the promise that initials once whispered in doubt now shine in bold, undeniable letters.
