Durante el verano de 1998, Felipe Toro y Claudio Valenzuela se conocen en el mítico y desaparecido bar "La Blusera" del Barrio Bellavista, Santiago, Chile. Ambos se dan cuenta que coincidían en la inquietud de formar una banda de blues y rock en español que llenara el vacío que existía respecto de este estilo en el país. Ese mismo día deciden llamar a la banda El Cruce, “en honor al rey del Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, de quién se dice vendió su alma al diablo en un cruce de caminos para ser el mejor blusero del mundo”, afirma Felipe, guitarra y voz del grupo.
El Cruce está compuesto por: Felipe Toro (voz y guitarra), Claudio ‘Bluesman’ Valenzuela (armónica y coros), Jorge Quinteros (batería), Pablo Castillo (piano y teclados), Eduardo ‘Negro’ Silva (bajo) y Orlando Miranda (percusión latina, guitarra acústica y coros). Ocasionalmente se integra además a Andrea Rodríguez (coros).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Era un cazador, pero yo no me lo creo, yo
Me siento un servidor y esta noche estoy
De humor para servir.
Desde niña te enseñaron como ser toda una
Dama a reprimir tus impulsos y que sin
Amor no hay cama, pero ahora ya eres
Sabes lo que quiero yo sé bien qué ves en
Mi no hay nada de malo, hay poco tiempo y
Hay que vivir.
Sabes, no quiero mentirte, ni llamar por
Compromiso sólo quiero desvestirte y que
Usemos hasta el piso y quién sab, si nos
Gusta repetir.
Sabes lo que quiero...
Tú eres una mujer grande, yo no soy un
Cazador y por mi no te preocupes, usaremos
Protección
Tú eres libre, yo soy mio, ¡Qué mejor!
The lyrics of El Cruce's "Su Servidor" speaks to the idea that men are typically taught to be hunters and women to repress their desires. However, the singer of the song doesn't believe in these gender roles and sees himself as a servant. He desires to please his partner and is open to experimentation in their physical relationship. The song encourages women to be empowered and pursue their own desires without fear of judgment.
The opening verse suggests that the traditional idea of men being hunters is not true for the singer. He sees himself more as a server or helper, and in this moment, he is in the mood to serve his partner. The second verse is directed towards women who have been taught to be proper and repressed in their desires. The singer encourages them to break free and embrace their sexuality. The third verse is more sexual and erotic. The singer admits that he doesn't want to lie or make false promises to his partner. He only wants to be intimate with her and is open to trying new things. The final verse is about freedom and mutual respect in the relationship. The singer acknowledges that both he and his partner are free and autonomous beings who can make their own decisions.
Overall, the song's message is about breaking free from traditional gender roles and societal expectations to embrace personal freedom and desires.
