Asesino Por Venganza
Oro Norteño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muy Pobre Casi Encuerado
Ayudando Y Trabajando
Compre Poquito Ganado
Hoy Tengo Casa En El Pueblo
Carros Del Ano Blindados
Me Dedique Al Contrabando
He Cruzado Toneladas
De Polvo Pal Extranjero
Ayudo A La Gente Pobre
Con Lo Poquito Que Puedo
Yo No Ando Perjudicando
A Ricos Ni A Campesinos
Por Vengar A Mis Hermanos
Me Converti En Asesino
Para Sembrar La Tierra
No Necesito Padrinos
Yo So Que Quieren Matarme
O Ponerme Prisionero
Saben Que Para Enfretarme
Tienen Que Arriesgar El Cuero
Porque Tengo Buenos Fierros
Nunca Se Me Entume El Dedo
Para Que No Me Conozcan
Traigo Mi Nombre Prestado
Muy Pocos Saben Donde Ando
Porque Soy Muy Desconfiado
Al Que Veo Que Es Buen Amigo
Hasta Carro Le He Comprado
Ojala Y Dios Me Conceda
Lo Que Tanto Le He Pedido
Dar Con Los Que Me Ofendieron
Y Acabar Conlos Bandidos
Perdone Que No Les Diga
Mi Nombre , Mis Apellidos
The lyrics of Oro Norteño's "Asesino Por Venganza" are about a man who was born and raised in a poor ranch, where he helped and worked to purchase some livestock until he became a smuggler to earn money. He crossed tons of goods to foreign countries to help poor people as much as he could, but he became an assassin to avenge his brothers' deaths. The man is not hurting rich or countryside people but criminals who have offended him. Although the man has built himself a good life, with a house in the city and new cars, he is always cautious about whom he trusts.
The song's depiction of the struggles of a poor rancher and how he became a smuggler sheds light on the injustices that many people in Mexico face. Although the lyrics do not justify the singer's journey into becoming an assassin, it underscores the frustration and the desire for justice among some Mexicans. Moreover, the song expresses how some people perceive fulfilling their desires as impossible through easy means such as education or employment, driving them towards smuggling, theft, and even killing.
