QUE SERA DE MI
Siempre Así Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El sol entraba por mi ventana
Y no sabía lo que hacer
Me levantaba de vez en cuando
Y en el sillón algo cansado
Sentado veía amanecer.
No puedo vivir así
Sin tenerte junto a mí
No quiero ya ni pensar
Que te tenga que olvidar
Pobre que será de mi.
Que será de mí
Sin poder soñar contigo
Que será de mí
Sin poder besarte en los labios
Que será de mí
Sin poder decirte te quiero
Que será de mí
Sin poderte tener en mis brazos.
Las horas pasaban despacio
Me parecía estar soñando
No me lo podía creer
Mi tiempo ya se terminaba
Y mi corazón me murmuraba
Que no te quería perder.
The opening verse of Siempre Así's Qué será de mí creates a sense of confusion and despair as the singer is faced with the reality of waking up alone without their loved one. Even with the bright sun shining through the window, the singer is unable to shake off the pain of longing and emptiness.

The verse also hints at a possible ending to the relationship, which the singer cannot bear to think of.
The chorus presents a series of rhetorical questions, each ending with the chorus phrase "Qué será de mí," which translates to "What will become of me?" These questions represent the singer's fears of what their life will be like without their loved one. The lyrics suggest that their life will lose meaning and purpose if they cannot dream, kiss, express love, and simply hold their significant other.
The final verse reflects the singer's realization that time is running out and their heart is not ready to let go. The singer's love is so strong that even after hours of waiting and fearing the end, they cannot bear the thought of losing their loved one.
Overall, the lyrics of Qué será de mí convey powerful emotions of longing, desperation, and the fear of losing the ones we love. The song's melody and rhythm are equally poignant, creating an intense and heartfelt ballad that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever loved deeply.
