De Parranda
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aunque queme el solecito, yo no me quito aquí es mi casa
Aquí estoy en Mexicali
Soy el que checo toda esta plaza
Me gusta estar coordinado bien al
Pendiente de los negocios
La banda nunca a parado no me detienen los envidiosos

Me ha costado la vida y mucho dolor para mi familia
Sé que el trabajo es pesado con mucho esfuerzo me la eh rifado
Traigo la sangre empapada de mucha fuerza y mucho coraje
Escuchen bien lo que digo pa que no vallan a atravesarse

Se llega el fin de semana y esta que tientan las ganas
Me voy pa los arrancones
A que bonita parranda

Se llega semana santa y la desvelada nunca nos falta
Y después de tanto trabajo me doy el gusto de una pisteada

También le se a la vagancia, me gusta el wisky, norteño y banda
Seguido acá en la frontera por Mexicali en pocas palabras
Hay que bonito se miran los cachetitos de esa plevita
Tengo que darle a la vida lo que me pide a y a la medida

Y que si cuidan mi espalda, si me respaldan los que yo quiero
Es una unión de familia tengo a mis primos me echan la esquina
Esto no esta muy peleado gracias a dios aquí estoy parado
Yo checo lo que ahora es mio, lo que no es mio ni lo averiguo

Se llega el fin de semana y esta que tientan las ganas
Me voy pa los arrancones
A que bonita parranda





Se llega semana santa y la desvelada nunca nos falta
Y después de tanto trabajo me doy el gusto de una pisteada
