Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desde pohenix arizona salio
Con mucho entusiasmo
Tambien aiia en california
Conosce muchos contactos
El mejor de su amigo le
Ase eskina pa los tratos
Se llegan las vacaciones en la feria ganadera
Andando en muy buenos carros no
Le gustan los problemas
Que suene el grupo norteño con
La rubia y la morena
Somos amigos de tiempo y sabemos trabajar
San judas el que nos cuida para poder abanzar
Cuenta con su compadrito que
Radica en culiacan su amigo de california le
Gusta escuchar la banda
Y si vienen sus cumpleaños
Que cante ramon ayala
Sus canciones preferidas y
Token vida prestada
Tierra de badiraguato seguido nos ven pasar
Tenemos muchos trabajo familia que visitar
Si queremos un descanso nos vamos a mazatlan
Compadrito nose aguite tenemos que trabajar
El yorya ayaa en california

Ese gringo de arizona pronto
Vuelve a culiacan
En el arranke y movimientos

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gerardo Ortiz's song "El Compadrito" depict the lifestyle and aspirations of a person who hails from Phoenix, Arizona, but also spends time in California. The singer is portrayed as an ambitious individual who has built a network of contacts in both places. The lyrics highlight the close relationship between the singer and his best friend, who helps him in his business dealings.


The song mentions the excitement of the singer and his companions as they approach the vacation season at the fairgrounds. They enjoy their wealth and prefer to avoid problems. The mention of the northern Mexican music genre, Grupo Norteño, along with the reference to a blonde and a brunette, seems to indicate a festive and joyous atmosphere in their gatherings.


The lyrics emphasize the longstanding friendship between the singer and his compadre, who resides in Culiacan, Mexico. This friend from California enjoys listening to banda music, particularly the songs of Ramon Ayala. These songs seem to hold a special meaning for him, as they symbolize living life to the fullest, even if it means taking risks.


The song acknowledges their ties to Badiraguato, a municipality in Mexico known for its association with drug trafficking. Despite this reference, the lyrics focus on the singer's commitment to providing for his family and visiting them regularly. The reference to Mazatlan suggests that if they desire a break from their work, they can go to this coastal city for leisure. However, the overall message of the song is that the compadrito, the singer, shouldn't worry or become impatient, as there is still work to be done.


The lyrics also touch on the support the singer receives from someone named Yorya, who is located in California. This person, described as a "gringo" from Arizona, is expected to return to Culiacan soon and join the singer and his compadre in their business ventures. The lyrics explain that they gather information about business opportunities and movements from the beginning. They need to be discreet in order to continue their endeavors successfully.


Overall, "El Compadrito" revolves around the singer's ambition, friendship, enjoyment of music, and the balance between work and personal life. While there may be suggestive elements related to illegal activities, the focus of the lyrics remains on the camaraderie and determination of the characters.
