Fim
Resistencia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando eu morrer batam em latas,
Rompam aos saltos e aos pinotes,
Façam estalar no ar chicotes,
Chamem palhaços e acrobatas!

Que o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro

Quando eu morrer batam em latas,
Rompam aos saltos e aos pinotes,
Façam estalar no ar chicotes,
Chamem palhaços e acrobatas!

Que o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro

E o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro




A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Resistencia's song "Fim" are a call for a joyful celebration of the singer's death. The singer asks that people bang on pots and pans, jump up and down, crack whips in the air, and call upon acrobats and clowns to perform. The singer even goes so far as to request that their coffin be carried by a donkey, dressed up in the finest Andalusian style. The singer seems to reject the idea of a solemn funeral or mourning period in favor of a raucous, celebratory send-off.


These lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways. On the one hand, they could be seen as a rejection of societal norms surrounding death and mourning. In many cultures, death is a solemn occasion, and people are expected to grieve and mourn for a time. The singer of the song seems to be saying that they don't want that for themselves - they want their death to be a light-hearted, celebratory affair. On the other hand, the lyrics could also be read as a commentary on the futility of life. The singer seems to be saying that death is inevitable, and that it's pointless to spend too much time dwelling on it. Instead, they want to embrace death and celebrate it in their own way.


Overall, the lyrics to "Fim" are both playful and thought-provoking. They challenge our expectations of how we should mourn and remember the dead, and they encourage us to think more deeply about the meaning of life and death.
