El Amigo
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No le gustan los problemas
Sé que el hombre es respetado
Elegante y muy atento en el trabajo
Y de sus gustos los caballos
Y los carros deportivos
Buena música para pasar el rato
Importante es mi familia y mi madre tan querida
Cómo olvidaré el secuestro de mi padre
Y sé que están arrepentidos
Y si el viejo está conmigo
Es porque tuvo que correr mucha sangre

Hasta Guerrero se va el corrido
Y que suene el acordeón con tamalito
Ahí no más

Tiene muchas atenciones y el camino que ha logrado
Se lo ganó con esfuerzo y con trabajo
Y de Guerrero es el amigo
Bien pendiente y bien activo
De nivel y de estatura, él es muy alto
De mis gustos las mujeres
Y escuchar buenos corridos
Empinarle la botella a mis amigos
Me gusta ayudar a la gente




Siempre los tengo presentes
De San Luis San Pedro yo nunca me olvido
