Qué Tendrás

Leo Jimenez's song 'Qué Tendrás' delves into the complex and often destructive nature of desire and ambition. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how the pursuit of something—possibly wealth, power, or even love—can lead to both joy and suffering. The song opens with the idea that those who lack this elusive 'something' are in a frantic search for it, believing it to be the key to happiness. However, those who possess it are never satisfied, blinded by ambition and the illusion of power it brings.

The chorus highlights the duality of this 'something,' describing it as both a source of smiles and curses, luxury and despair. This duality is further emphasized by the metaphor of it being 'the devil in a hypocritical and sensual disguise.' The lyrics suggest that this desire can destroy friendships, lead to betrayal, and bring about evil. The singer reflects on how this pursuit has turned friends into enemies and forced him into isolation, making him wary of trusting anyone.

The song also touches on the ease with which this 'something' can be found if one is cold-hearted, but how difficult it is to achieve through hard work and honesty. This contrast underscores the moral dilemma faced by those who seek it. Ultimately, 'Qué Tendrás' serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of unchecked ambition and the hollow promises of material or superficial gains. It invites listeners to reflect on their own desires and the true cost of pursuing them.
