Margarita La de Tijuana

Los Tigres del Norte's song 'Margarita La de Tijuana' tells a gripping story of love, betrayal, and survival. The narrative begins with Margarita and Julián embarking on a journey from Piedras Negras, Coahuila, with a hidden contraband of drugs. Margarita conceals the illicit substance in her hair, and they use the pretext of a honeymoon to San Antonio to mask their true intentions. This initial setup paints a picture of a dangerous and deceitful world where trust is scarce and survival is paramount.

As the story unfolds, Margarita becomes increasingly suspicious of Julián's intentions. She overhears him talking about another woman he plans to marry once he has enough money. This revelation shatters any illusion of love and loyalty she might have had. The tension escalates when they successfully deliver the contraband and receive $20,000. Julián, revealing his true colors, decides to eliminate Margarita, seeing her as a mere obstacle now that he has the money.

In a dramatic turn of events, Margarita outsmarts Julián. When he points his gun at her, she reveals that she has already unloaded it, anticipating his betrayal. The confrontation ends with Margarita shooting Julián and taking the money. The song concludes with Margarita's decision not to return to Tijuana, symbolizing her break from the past and her survival against the odds. This tale of treachery and cunning is a testament to the harsh realities faced by those involved in the dangerous world of drug trafficking, where trust is a luxury few can afford.
