Jefe de jefes
Álvaro Henríquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soy el jefe de jefes, Señores
Me respetan en todos niveles
Y mi nombre y mi fotografia
Nunca van a mirar en papeles
Porque a mi el periodista me quiere
Y si no mi amistad se la pierde
Muchos pollos que apenas nacieron
Ya se quieren pelear con el gallo
Si pudieran estar a mi altura
Pues tendrian que pasar muchos años
Y no pienso dejarles el puesto
Donde yo me la paso ordenando.
Mi trabajo y valor me han costado
Y manejarlos con tantos que tengo
Muchos quieren estar a mi altura
No mas pido que se van cayendo
Han querido arañar mi corona
Los que intentan se han ido muriendo
Yo navego debajo del agua
Y tambien se volar a la altura
Muchos creen que me gusta el gobierno
Otros dicen que es pura basura
Desde arriba nomas me divierto
Pues me gusta que asi se confundan
En las cuentas se lleva una regla
Es "del uno llegar hasta cien"
El que quiera ser hombre derecho
Que se enseñe a mirar su nivel
Sin talento no busques grandeza
Porque nunca la vas a tener
¡Soy el jefe de jefes, señores!
Y decirlo no es por presuncion
Muchos grande me piden favores
Porque saben que soy el mejor
Han buscado la sombra del arbol




Para que no les de duro el sol
Para que no les de duro el sol x4

Grande Don Álvaro Henriquez. No importa nada de lo que se diga. Para mi eres uno de los grandes en Chile, uno de los mejores. Solo comparable con músicos como Carlos Cabezas, Jorge Gonzalez y Gato Alquinta, entre otros (congreso por ejemplo).

Si Álvaro Henríquez no se hubiese quedado pegado en la nostalgia de los tr3s. Sería uno de los más grandes.
