Qué Será
Ana Belén Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que anda suspirando por las alcobas
Que anda susurrando versos y trovas
Que anda combinando todas las cosas
Que anda en las cabezas y anda en las bocas
Que anda recorriendo los callejones
Que está pegando gritos en los salones
Y es algo que compone de pieza en pieza
Que no ha tenido arreglo y no lo tendrá
Porque jamás es cierto y no lo será
Porque no hay quien lo mida
Oh qué será, qué será
Que vive en las ideas de los amantes
Que canta los poetas más delirantes
Que jura los profetas embriagados
Que está donde se aburren los mutilados
Que está donde imaginan los infelices
Que está en cada día de cada crisis
Durmiendo entre el bandido y el desvalido
En todos los sentidos, qué será qué será
Que no tiene decencia y no la tendrá
No puede estar prohibido y no lo estará
Pues no tiene sentido
Oh qué será, qué será
Que ni las precauciones lo pueden parar
Porque todas las risas lo quieren reír
Y todas las campanas lo van a anunciar
Y el himno de los himnos lo consagrará
Y todos los caminos lo conducirán
Y todos los vecinos allí se unirán
Que casi ni Dios mismo lo puede evitar
Y el cielo y el infierno lo bendecirán
Que no ha tenido said y jamás la tendrá
Que no ha sentido miedo
Ni lo sentirá, porque no tiene juicio
Oh qué será, qué será
Oh qué será, qué será
Que ni las precauciones lo pueden parar
Porque todas las risas lo quieren reír
Y todas las campanas lo van a anunciar
Oh qué será, qué será
The lyrics of Ana Belén's "Que Será" explore the ever-evolving and elusive nature of destiny, fate, or whatever one may want to call it. The song wonders about this force that seems to be present everywhere, from the whispers in the bedrooms to the minds of the poets and prophets, and from the deserted alleys to the places where the underprivileged seek refuge. The song concludes that destiny is something that has always been there and will always be there, in all its unpredictability and incomprehensibility.
The song uses a range of metaphors to describe destiny, such as its ability to combine all things together, its omnipresence in all walks of life, and its indestructibility, which cannot be altered, no matter what we do. The lyrics suggest that destiny cannot be measured or contained and that it affects everyone, no matter their background or circumstances. It is a force that is both scary and awe-inspiring, as it controls our lives in ways that are often beyond our control.
