Qué Bendición

Chuy Montana's 'Qué Bendición' is a song that narrates a personal journey of struggle, resilience, and eventual success. The lyrics reflect a story of someone who has faced significant challenges but has managed to rise above them, attributing their success to divine blessing and personal determination. The song's title, which translates to 'What a Blessing,' sets the tone for a narrative of gratitude amidst adversity.

The lyrics mention the artist's rough upbringing and early exposure to violence, suggesting a life that has been hardened by circumstances. The reference to 'subirme a ese tren' (getting on that train) could symbolize a pivotal decision or a path that led to a life of crime or hardship. The song also touches on themes of loyalty and respect, with the artist acknowledging the support of his father and the divine protection he feels he has received. Despite the obstacles, the protagonist of the song has emerged stronger and more respected, as indicated by the lines where people who once wronged him now address him as 'señor' (sir).

The song's narrative is not just about personal success; it's also about maintaining humility and faith. The repeated phrase 'Qué bendición' and references to 'los santitos' (the little saints) and 'mi Dios' (my God) emphasize the artist's gratitude and reliance on spiritual guidance. The mention of not letting ego take over and navigating life 'con pies de plomo' (with leaden feet) suggests a cautious and grounded approach, even in the face of newfound power or status.
