Viva La Vida
El Chalinillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vivan las penas y el amor
Vivan las copas y las botellas
Porque con ellas se borra el dolor
Yo soy alegre y enamorado
Y a las mujeres me gusta amar
Siempre las traigo junto a mi lado
Y a la que quiero la puedo cargar
Del contrabando y de mucho mas
De las armas de todo calibre
Y soy un rayo pa' disparar
Yo me paseo en pueblos unidos
Aya en Jacola y alrededor
Soy conocido por donde sea
Y en cada rancho tengo un amor
Todos a mi me dicen borrego
Y soy honrado y trabajador
Porque la mafia nada perdona
No tienes que hacer ningun error
Ya me despido de mi pueblito
Soy Sinaloense de corazon
Ya me despido de mi chatita
De mis amigos y el basilon
In El Chalinillo's song Viva La Vida, the lyrics are an ode to life, both the good and the bad.

The second part of the song mentions the singer's familiarity with shady business dealings such as smuggling and weapons, and his reputation as a skilled marksman. He professes his love for his hometown, Jacola, and how he is known in every ranch. The singer is known as "borrego" and describes himself as an honest and hardworking man, who cannot afford to make any mistakes as the mafia doesn't forgive easily.
