COMPA ARTURO
Los Inquietos Del Norte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el pais de los gringos
Arturo se ha dedicado
Al negocio mas prohibido
Ese que deja billetes
Porque andas en el peligro
Con dinero a su mando
Arturo dijo me voy
Para apatzingan me voy
Y hasta las fiestas de octubre
Quiero darme un parrandon
Con mujeres muy bonitas
Arturo la celebraba
Las nenas al ver billetes
Poco mas se alborotaban
Porque nunca les falto
Ni perico ni buchannas
De regreso a california
Arturo venia pensando
Retirarse del negocio
Total tenia lo deseado
Pero lo metieron preso
Y se vio encabronado
Cuando se encontraba preso
Arturo dijo sereno
Seguire con mi negocio
Que es envenenar los gueros
Pensaba en retirarme
Pero ellos no lo quisieron
Hoy de apatzingan a oakland y de oakland hasta nebraska
Arturo manda un saludo
A su gente de confinaza
Aca espero los billetes
Pa seguir en la parranda
The lyrics of "Compa Arturo" by Los Inquietos Del Norte tell the story of a man named Arturo who has spent many years working in the United States. It is implied that Arturo is involved in illegal activities that bring in a lot of money but also carry a risk. After accumulating a substantial amount of wealth, Arturo decides to take a vacation back to his hometown of Apatzingan and enjoy the festivities of October. He celebrates lavishly and is surrounded by beautiful women who are attracted to his wealth. However, upon returning to California, Arturo is arrested and becomes angry that he was betrayed. Even while in prison, Arturo remains determined to continue his criminal enterprise of poisoning "the white guys" (gueros), despite previously considering retirement. He sends greetings to his trusted people and expresses that he is waiting for the money to continue his partying lifestyle.
This song highlights the dangerous and risky lifestyle that some individuals choose in the pursuit of wealth, even if it means engaging in illegal activities. It also portrays Arturo as someone who becomes disillusioned by the system after being betrayed, leading to a desire for revenge and a continuation of his criminal endeavors.
