Que Será

Banda Pelillos' song 'Que Será' is a poignant reflection on the uncertainties of life and the bittersweet nature of farewells. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person leaving their hometown, a place that has become desolate and abandoned, much like an old man nearing the end of his life. The imagery of the 'pueblo' (village) lying on the hill, accompanied only by sorrow and abandonment, sets a melancholic tone. This departure is not just physical but emotional, as the protagonist leaves behind a place that once brought joy but now only brings sadness.

The recurring question 'Que será, que será, que será de mi vida, que será' (What will become of my life, what will become) underscores the theme of uncertainty. The protagonist is unsure of what the future holds, whether they know much or nothing at all. This uncertainty is a universal human experience, resonating with anyone who has faced a significant life change or departure. The mention of friends who have already left or will leave soon adds to the sense of inevitable change and the passage of time.

Amidst this uncertainty, there is a glimmer of hope and continuity. The protagonist promises to return, leaving behind a smile and the sweet sound of their guitar, which will continue to play in the night. This promise is a testament to the enduring bonds of love and memory, suggesting that while the future is unknown, the connections we make and the love we share remain. The image of a girl from the village dreaming to the sound of the guitar symbolizes hope and the enduring impact of the protagonist's presence, even in their absence.
