Gerardo El Poderoso
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sucedio el 87
Este crimen doloroso
Mataron a un gran amigo
Por que tenia su negocio
El traficaba la droga
Eso lo hizo poderoso;
Tenia de nombre gerardo
Y salazar su apellido
Mucha gente en culiacan
Hoy de negro se ha vestido
Por que lo apreciaban mucho
Y hoy se encuentra fallecido;
Nacido en badiraguato
En el rancho la lampara
Los federales temian
Enfrentarsele a la cara
No mas por que el gran gerardo
Con dos cuernos disparaba.
Alguien supo que gerardo
Ahi tenia que llegar
Y fue y les dijo alos huachos
Que le formaran un plan
Se vistieron de civiles
Para poderlo matar,
En chinito sinaloa
Fue donde lo acribillaron
Cuando aterrizo el avion
Por la espalda le tiraron
Fueron 300 soldados
Los que el gatillo jalaron,
Ya murio otro de los de los grandes
De esos que eran poderosos
Pero no crean que por eso
La ley va estar en reposo




Los que mueren se retiran
Los que viven al negocio.
