Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estado de mexico puebla y morelos yo tengo recuerdos por esos lugares,
En mero oaxaca nacio el indio noble el gran presidente don benito juarez
Yo soy de oaxaca lo digo orgulloso aique vamos gallos en donde quieran,
Aquí el que le pone la mano le cumple aquí en la chino la tierra que sea,
Y de sus mujeres pues ya ni se digan porque cuando quieren son una chuladan,
Pero no le gusten porque por la mala prefiero torear una fiera enjaulada,
(EXTERMINADOR)
Aquí en mas pelones le hacen trenzas a mi amigo y hasta el mas borracho tambien
Mas capiedras, asi es en oaxaca aunque usted no lo crea mas vale que nunca torien
A la fiera, alla por morelos y puebla yo tengo amigos muy gallos que son traficantes,




Por eso culebras anden con cuidado para que no vallan ensuciar el panpel,
Para despedirme les mando un saludo a todos los mieros de chingagolandia,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grupo Exterminador's "Gallo de Oaxaca" celebrate the pride and strength of the people from Oaxaca, a state in southwestern Mexico known for its rich cultural heritage and strong community spirit. The song pays homage to the native son of Oaxaca, President Benito Juarez, who fought against the oppressive Mexican government and championed the rights of indigenous people during his tenure. The lyrics also touch on the toughness and resilience of the people from Oaxaca, who are not afraid to face challenges and stand up for themselves.


The first stanza of the song starts by mentioning the memories that the singer has of different places in Mexico, before zeroing in on Oaxaca as the birthplace of Benito Juarez. The chorus establishes the pride of the singer in being from Oaxaca and the gallantry of its people. The second stanza has a more cautionary tone, warning outsiders to not mess with the people of Oaxaca, who are known to be rough and tough. The third and final stanza ends with a shoutout to the folks from "Chingagolandia", a term used to refer to the rougher parts of the country.


Overall, the song is a celebration of the strength, pride, and grit of the people of Oaxaca, who have a reputation for being tough but also hospitable and warm. The lyrics suggest that this toughness comes from the struggles that the people of Oaxaca have faced and continue to face, including poverty, corruption, and discrimination.
