El Tocayo
Los Tucanes de Tijuana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nacido aya en Tamaulipas
100% mexicano
Humilde pero valiente
De un corazon muy humano
Patron le llama su gente
Y sus compas el Tocayo

Muy joven entro al negocio
Por cuestiones del destino
Ahora es muy respetado
En los estados unidos
Tambien en nuevo laredo
Es un hombre muy querido

Admirador de su padre
Tambien de su padrino
Su vida no ha sido facil
Pero a limpiado el camino
Unas veces con billetes
Y otras con cuerno de chivo
Asi ha ganado terreno
Con sus compas y sus primos

Alegre y enamorado
El tocayo siempre a sido
Con una mujer bonita
Lo miran muy deseguido
En yets y carros blindados
Va y visita sus amigos

Rodeado de guardespaldas
Y sus primos como siempre
Oyendo puros corridos
De sus colegas valientes
Charmin el oso maรฑoso
Gran amigo del D.F

Texas, Atlanta y Florida
De Brascallo no les fallo
Junior y las Carolinas
Tambien sus kilos llegaron
La bodega esta repleta
De periquitos y gallos




Lo que se ofresca Chicago
Pa serbirles el Tocayo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Tucanes de Tijuana's song El Tocayo are a character sketch of a young man from Tamaulipas, Mexico, who has become a powerful figure in the drug trade in the United States and Mexico. Although he comes from humble beginnings, he has proven to be brave and resourceful, earning the respect and loyalty of his followers, who call him "Patron" or "Tocayo". The song describes how he got involved in the drug trade at a young age, and how he has risen through the ranks to become a respected and feared figure in the underworld. He is depicted as a man of contradictions - proud of his Mexican heritage but equally comfortable in the world of American crime, fiercely loyal to his family and friends but willing to use violence to achieve his goals. Despite the dangers and hardships he has faced, the Tocayo remains optimistic and loves to have fun, surrounding himself with beautiful women, fast cars, and the latest in high-tech weaponry.


The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the Tocayo's world, one in which relationships are based on loyalty and betrayal is punished severely. Although the song does not condone his criminal activities, it does suggest that the Tocayo is simply someone who has found a niche in a world where opportunity is scarce and violence is a constant threat. The song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus reflect the Tucanes' reputation as one of the most popular and influential bands in the norteรฑo genre.
