Can saw is a lot closer to the original native pronunciation, or so I've heard.

Sooner or later, I just know someone is gonna wander in here and school me on geography, history, and linguistics in a single comment. I really do look forward to the explanation actually. Like how norteno reminds me of oompa/polka music because at one time German Immigrants came to Northern Mexico. Norteno is awesome, by the way. So is zydeco. Anyone who says otherwise probably listens to Chris Gaines unironically.
