Negocios Pesados
Germán Montero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo soy nacido en la sierra
Mi rancho es muy popular
Me gustan mucho las hembras
Me gusta mucho pistear
Por eso vine pal' norte
Para poder progresar.

Ya me compre mi trocona
Un casonon pa' mi ama
Un buen carro pa' mi padre
Mi sueño ya es realidad
Yo nunca le saco al jale
Eso me heredo mi apa.

Que cosas no eh disfrutado
Por eso yo me hice asi
Borracho y enamorado
La verdad soy muy feliz
Con mis negocios pesados
Seguire de malandrin.

Traiganme un grupo norteño
Una banda pa' pistear
Que me toquen mis corridos
Ya mande traer de todo
Para ver el sol clarear.

Que cosas no eh disfrutado
Por eso yo me hice asi
Borracho y enamorado
La verdad soy muy feliz




Con mis negocios pesados
Seguire de malandrin.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Germán Montero’s song “Negocios Pesados” speak of the character of a man who was born in the mountains and desires to progress in life. He admits to enjoying women and drinking, but he also takes pride in working hard, as he inherited a good work ethic from his father. He has already achieved his dreams of owning a truck for himself, a nice house for his mother, and a car for his father. The song’s message is that the character feels happy and content with his life, despite his vices, and he intends to continue pursuing his successful illegal business ventures.


The song’s lyrics reflect a cultural and social phenomenon in Mexico, especially in the northern parts of the country, where some people engage in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, smuggling, and other dangerous businesses to earn money quickly. For them, the risks are worth the rewards. The character in this song represents this element of society and provides insight into how they justify their actions as necessary to achieve their version of the American Dream. Germán Montero's words suggest that it is possible to be happy without having a "clean" way to earn money or live life.


Some of the interesting facts about the song include that it was released in 2020 and has already achieved international popularity. Additionally, this song reflects the narcocorridos genre typical of northern Mexico, which has grown in stature in recent years. It has become a subculture of its own, with its own fashion and lingo. The genre reflects the realities of living in a marginalized society that has few opportunities to achieve socioeconomic mobility through legal means. The song's melody is catchy and upbeat, and its repetitive lyrics make it easy to sing along to. It has become synonymous with partying, and many people enjoy listening to it while drinking and dancing.
