Soy De Durango
Gerardo Ortiz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y de aquel enemigo
Que quizo matarme nomas los recuerdos que dios me los guarde
Yo soy de durango
Nomas te recuerdo mi nombre y mi rancho de la vieja escuela
Y de los elementos de juaquin loera
Mi tiempo en la sierra barrancos de loeras las armas de guerra
Yo vivo y afiendo de lleno la empresa
Y que corre el agua que no se detenga
Se junta de todo orita ay problemas
Si yo ando tranquiloo
Y que no me falte nunca el cigarro
Cuido mi pistolaa
Pa los que se quieran pasar con la bola
Camino derechoo
El nebro se el checo
Y a que no se aplique
Que venga conmigo y aqui lo endereso

Y calle de blindada
Super diamantada seguido me miran por guadalajara
No son vacaciones tengo que cuidarme de los tiburones
Soy buen elemento y yo checo la plaza no me ando con cuento
Miro otros colores, dinero y acciones mas preocupaciones
Tengo que ajustarle
Alisten los cajones

Y que se amanece en mi casa una banda si tomo tres noches
Y el trago no acaba no trabajo ondiado
Y me suena a peligro traigo atravesado
Prefiero andar sano
Y así yo calculo mis pasos eh marcado




El tiempo a pasado aquí todo a cambiado ya estoy enredado
Venga lo que venga aquí sigo parado
