Consumado Está

“Consumado Está” by Banda Pequeños Musical is a poignant reflection on the inevitability of death and the introspection that comes with it. The song's narrator acknowledges the certainty of their departure from this world, expressing an awareness of the 'sad reality' that everyone must face. The lyrics convey a sense of solitude, as the narrator mentions having no friends or family left to offer advice or companionship in their final moments. This solitude is juxtaposed with a life lived with 'tremendous intensity,' where the narrator indulged in life's pleasures without restraint, suggesting a hedonistic approach to existence.

The song delves into themes of accountability and the consequences of one's actions. The narrator admits to having earned their wounds, metaphorically stating that one who 'kills with daggers' cannot expect to 'die by kisses.' This line underscores the idea that actions have repercussions, and one cannot reap the benefits of life without having sown the seeds of good deeds. The narrator's use of freedom is highlighted, but it comes with a price—dying in solitude. Despite this, there is no fear or torment about the impending departure, as the narrator takes ownership of their life, having been the 'manager and owner' of it.

The song also touches on the ambiguity of moral judgment. The narrator is uncertain about the balance of their actions—whether they caused more joy or sorrow. This uncertainty is left to be decided by time and history. The farewell to friends and lovers is marked by a sense of acceptance, as the narrator reflects on the circumstances of their life, acknowledging that every embrace was given with sincerity. The phrase 'ya todo consumado está' (everything is finished) encapsulates the finality and acceptance of their life's journey, leaving the judgment of their actions to the passage of time.
