Armando Aguirre
Chalino Sanchez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Tengo un contrato firmado
desde que vine a este mundo
no le pusimos la fecha
por eso es que vivo agusto
el mundo da muchas vueltas
y yo de nada me asusto

Con la muerte por un lado

todo el timepo me paseo
no me gusta presumir
pero no me miren feo
ay traigo un cuerno de chivo
no lo tengo de trofeo

Armando aguirre se llama
aduanal de profesion
en la sultana del norte
de Monterey Nuevo Leon
reconocido lo tienen
pues le sobra corazon

El Comandante Espinoza
y tambien toda su gente
simepre se sienten tranquilos
cuando Armando va en el frente
porque cuenta con lo suyo
es bravo y inteligente

Le gusta la vida recia
las mujeres y el dinero
Armando Aguirre lo dice
me gusta ser el primero
yo por mi compadre Rigo
me dejo ir a un voladero

Adios ciudiad de Nogales
de ti me estoy despidiendo
de Monterey Nuevo Leon
yo guardo un fino recuerdo

recuerden que Armando Aguirre
nunca lo encotraran durmiendo
