Tranquilito

Gerardo Ortiz's 'Tranquilito' is a song that encapsulates the journey of steady and determined success, despite the obstacles and setbacks that one might face. The lyrics convey a message of resilience and patience, as Ortiz sings about progressing at his own pace, without rushing ('Tranquilito, despacito / Voy subiendo a mi ritmo'). The line 'No llevamos prisa, el que visualiza lo materializa' suggests that by visualizing one's goals, one can manifest them into reality, emphasizing the power of positive thinking and visualization in achieving success.

The song also touches on the theme of overcoming adversity and the satisfaction of proving doubters wrong. Ortiz mentions that his past stumbles were not enough to stop him ('Si tuve tropiezos, no fue suficiente'), and he refuses to give his detractors the pleasure of seeing him fail. This defiance is coupled with a sense of self-assuredness and the knowledge that he has earned his place through hard work ('Merecido me tengo este lugar'). The lyrics 'En las buenas, todos andan / En las malas, se acobardan' reflect the fickle nature of fair-weather friends and the music industry, where people are quick to associate with success but disappear during tough times.

Lastly, 'Tranquilito' speaks to the importance of loyalty and having a strong support system. Ortiz acknowledges the trusted people who have his back ('Tengo gente de confianza que me protege la espalda'), and the song exudes a sense of gratitude towards those who have remained loyal. The overall message is one of triumph and the continuous drive to move forward, regardless of the challenges that come his way ('Hagan lo que hagan, no voy a parar / Estoy listo pa' jalar').
