Corrido de Sergio

The song 'Corrido de Sergio' by Escolta De Guerra is a narrative ballad that tells the story of a young man named Sergio, who is grateful for the life lessons and advice given to him by his father. The lyrics express appreciation for the guidance that has helped him navigate a complex world, where being 'derecho' (straightforward) within crooked environments is essential. Sergio acknowledges the respect he has earned through his actions and the reputation he has built for himself.

The second verse delves into Sergio's work ethic and the challenges he faces. Despite others wishing to see him fail, he rises above with the support of influential backers and his own intelligence. He remains cautious and focused, always thinking ahead and continuing to grow. The mention of 'burlo a los gabachos usando el cerebro' suggests he outsmarts others, possibly in a context of crossing borders or dealing with authorities, using his wit.

Sergio's narrative also touches on themes of youth, preparedness for danger, and the importance of community and friendship. He carries a gun not for show, but for necessity, indicating a life that requires self-defense. The lyrics reference specific locations in California and Mexico, suggesting a cross-border lifestyle. Sergio is seen as a reliable and discreet figure within his community, trusted and respected. The song concludes with a reflection on the balance between work and pleasure, as Sergio enjoys the company of friends and the company of 'very beautiful ladies' after his responsibilities are fulfilled.
