El Festin De Los Demas
Los Bunkers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy sentado sin mirar
nada puede moletar
el festin de los demas
que ahora paso a deletrear
dime quien asumira la responsabilidad
las derrotas que sufri
nuestro insulso porvenir
y hablan sobre repartir
lo mejor para vivir
el dinero, la nacion
la salud, tu educacion
y si el hambre puede mas
aun podra sostenernos

Ven a recoger
las migajas del festin de los demas
puedes escoger
lo que quieras de lo que alcanzo a sobrar

Dime quien asumira la responsabilidad
las derrotas que sufri
nuestro insulso porvenir
dime quien asumira las sobras que nos dejan

Ven a recoger
las migajas del festin de los demas
puedes escoger
lo que quieras de lo que alcanzo a sobrar
de la mitad de la felicidad de todos los demas

Voy sentado sin mirar
nuestro futuro no vendra
porque nunca resusito
cuando el pasado lo mato
lo vi en la television
la que lo disfrazo de amor
pero el amor es una trampa en medio del corazon

Todos pueden escoger




lo que quieran pueden ser
de lo que alcanzo a sobrar del festin de los demas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "El Festin De Los Demas" by Los Bunkers are a commentary on society and its obsession with living vicariously through others. The singer is nonchalantly observing the festivities around him, feeling as though nothing can bother him. He then goes on to question who will take responsibility for the defeats he has experienced in life, and the bland future he sees before him. The song then shifts to a plea for the listener to "come collect the crumbs of the feast of others," suggesting they have the opportunity to pick and choose from the scraps left behind by those who had a richer, more fulfilling experience. The singer asks again who will take responsibility for the leftovers that are left behind, implying that it is not just the crumbs that are important, but the fact that they are all that is left for some people.


The song's powerful message lies in its ability to capture the frustration many people feel at being unable to achieve the same level of success as others. It calls attention to the way in which society has trained us to evaluate ourselves according to the material possessions and success of others. The singer questions the value of possessions such as money and the nation and calls out the healthcare and education systems for failing to provide for those in need. The song invites us to think about our relationship with society and encourages us to seek out fulfillment outside of societal norms.
