This song is a corrido, a type of narrative ballad, that tells the story of the death of a powerful man named Héctor Beltrán, also known as "El H." The lyrics paint a picture of his final moments, describing how he was taken from prison with chest pains and died of a heart attack. The news of his death brings sadness to the city of Culiacán.
The song remembers "El H" as a respected and influential figure, a "fine businessman" and a "gentleman" who had friends among both politicians and mobsters. He lived a grand life and enjoyed it to the fullest. The lyrics mention his wish to be laid to rest in Hermosillo, Sonora, and speak of him joining his departed brothers, Alfredo and Arturo, in the afterlife. It's a tribute that celebrates his power, his lavish lifestyle, and his legacy as a man who couldn't be kept down.
