Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miraba a mi padre me activo el negocio
Le pedí la silla me integre al negocio
Yo se que estoy chavo pero me e ganado
Seguí sus concejos y así lo e logrado

Buenas amistades honor a mi padre
Se tomo un descanso por autoridades
Pero sigue activo la empresa y su equipo
Hoy no esta el viejón pero aquí esta su hijo

Tengo dos amigo, el cuarto y el cinco estamos entrados
Con todo el equipo
Voy encarrerado pero con cuidado
Así me trabajo no corre peligro

Ya tengo me casa, Culiacán mi plaza
Aquí todos saben quien es el quemando
El whisky y las damas me alegran el alma
Para los negocios yo tengo palabra

Yo soy Chavo Félix feliz e vivido
Tengo mi familia mis ojos mis hijo
Quiero ser tranquilo pero si hay peligro
Me hierve la sangre en caliente me activo

Voy encaramado siempre asegurado
Hay unos conflictos me ando con cuidado
Cuando tengo tiempo me pongo contento
Escuchando corridos con buenos amigos

Ahí tengo testigos de lo que e vivido
Es fuerte el camino pero sigo vivo
Muchas amistades y reconocidas
Amigo y cuñado deberás lo estimo

Si quiero una dama o un grupo norteño
Hago invitaciones y alegre me enfiesto
Mi gente a mi lado, también mi cuñado
Le gusta la fiesta estamos acoplados

Entre las canciones, algunos corridos
Intercambio palabras así convivimos
Llegan de invitados los ántrax mentados
Defienden la plaza son buenos amigos

Yo soy Chavo Félix feliz e vivido
Tengo mi familia mis ojos mis hijo




Quiero ser tranquilo pero si hay peligro
Me hierve la sangre en caliente me activo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gerardo Ortiz's song Chavo Felix begins with the singer expressing his desire to follow in his father's footsteps by joining the family business. Despite being young, he feels that he has earned his place in the family business, and he continues to follow his father's advice. The singer acknowledges his father's good friends, and even though his father has taken a break due to authorities, the family business continues with the help of his father's team. As the son of his father, the singer is determined to carry on the family legacy and is proud of his accomplishments.


The next verse of the song talks about the singer's life outside of business - his friends, his home in Culiacan, and his love for whiskey and the ladies. He acknowledges that he likes to keep his life simple, but if necessary, he is willing to act on his feet in a dangerous situation. The singer also talks about the importance of spending time with his friends, listening to corridos and exchanging stories. The song's final verse speaks of the singer's journey, his struggles and successes, his established friendships, and his affinity for the norteño music genre.


Overall, the song expresses the importance of family, business, and friendship, and the singer's desire to maintain a balance between them. The song is named after Rafael Caro Quintero's nephew, Jesus Hector Palma Salazar, also known as "Chavo Felix," who was a Mexican drug lord and founder of the Sinaloa Cartel. However, the song's lyrics focus mainly on the singer's life rather than the drug cartel leader.
