"Despedida"

Vengo a decirle adiós a los muchachos porque pronto me voy para la guerra y aunque vaya a pelear en otras tierras voy a salvar mi derecho, mi patria y mi fe Ya yo me despedí de mi adorada y le pedí por Dios que nunca llore que recuerde por siempre mis amores que yo nunca de ella me olvidaré Sólo me parte el alma y me condena que dejo tan solita a mi mamá mi pobre madrecita que es tan vieja quién en mi ausencia la recordará
Quien me le hara un favor si necesita
Quien la socorrera si se enfermara
Quien hablara de mivsi preguntara
Por este hijo que nunca quizas volvera
Quien me le resarq si ella se muere




Quien pondra una flor en su sepultura
Quien se condolera de mi amargura si vulvo y no encuentro a mi mamá

Overall Meaning

In Despedida, Bienvenido Granda sings to say goodbye to his friends and loved ones before leaving for the war. He is aware of the fact that he may be fighting in other lands, but he believes that he is fighting for his rights, country, and faith, which makes leaving bearable. However, he is mainly concerned about leaving his mother behind, who he describes as old and vulnerable. He is worried about who will look after her and take care of her if she falls ill. The thought of his mother dying while he is away breaks his heart, and he wonders who will pray for her, put a flower on her grave, or sympathize with his grief.


The song Despedida is a poignant and emotional expression of the pain and fear felt by soldiers and their families as they face the possibility of separation, injury or death. It is a reflection of the realities and hardships of war, and a reminder of the human cost of conflict. Granda's haunting vocals and the melancholic melody of the song add to the weight of the lyrics, making it a powerful tribute to those who have gone to war.

Cuando la música era realmente musica

Edna Rodrigues Dos Santos Santana

Essa música toca o coração de qualquer pessoa que a escuta e sente no coração a tristeza explicita do cantor. Ele sofre ao interpreta-la e todos percebem. Muito tocante

Jesus Mario Macias Gonzalez EL ITA

¡ INOLVIDABLE ! ¡ UNICO ! ¡ ILUMINADO ! Bienvenido Granda. ¡ EN MEMORIA ! . 🇲🇽 . 5/10/19.

Edna Rodrigues Dos Santos Santana

Muito bonita essa. música e ao mesmo tempo transmite uma melancolia de cortar o coração. A vida nem sempre lhe deu o suporte que ele necessitava, foi muito sofrida sua infância com sua mãe e seu sonho foi conquistado com muita luta e coragem. Amo suas letras e suas interpretações.

Rosa Martinez
