Enfermo de Riqueza (feat. Natanael Cano y Ovi)

“Enfermo de Riqueza” by Lenny Tavárez, featuring Natanael Cano and Ovi, is a vivid portrayal of the journey from hardship to opulence, underscored by themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of success. The song opens with a reflection on the sacrifices and hard work that have paid off, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and the consequences for those who betrayed the artist. The imagery of not being a 'saint of the Vatican' and those who betrayed him now being 'with the worms' paints a stark picture of the harsh realities faced and the ruthless nature of the journey to the top.

The lyrics also highlight a sense of pride and attachment to one's roots. Despite achieving significant wealth and success, the artist chooses to stay in his homeland, surrounded by his close companions. This decision is a testament to his loyalty and the value he places on his origins. The mention of being ready for war from a young age and carrying a weapon underscores the constant vigilance and readiness required to navigate his environment.

The chorus, “Que me llamen al doctor, que estoy enfermo de riqueza,” metaphorically describes the overwhelming nature of newfound wealth. The artist acknowledges the superficiality of promises and instead places value on tangible experiences and relationships. The song also touches on the transient nature of life and success, with references to the cyclical nature of life’s challenges and the artist’s resilience in overcoming them. The collaboration with Natanael Cano and Ovi, known for their 'corridos tumbados' style, adds a unique cultural layer, blending traditional Mexican music with modern urban influences, further enriching the narrative of struggle and triumph.

The song is a powerful narrative of perseverance, loyalty, and the complex emotions tied to success and wealth. It captures the essence of the artist's journey and the cultural context that shapes his experiences.
