¿Qué Será? Lyrics in English by Amaral
Hiroshima refers to the Japanese city, famously known for the atomic bombing during World War II. It's a striking and unexpected word to find in a pop song.
In the context of the lyrics, "No más Hiroshima" (No more Hiroshima) is a powerful plea for peace and an end to destruction. It evokes a strong image of tragedy and the desire to avoid similar devastation, making it a memorable and impactful word choice within the song's message of hope and a better world.
Amaral's "¿Qué Será?" asks big questions about love, dreams, and a better world, all while keeping a really fun, carefree vibe. The singer describes herself as a "bala perdida" [lost bullet] and a "viva la vida" [live life] kind of person, ready to dance the night away and always speak the truth. She's all about what truly matters, stating that "las cosas que yo quiero no se compran con dinero" [the things I want aren't bought with money].
This song is a call for unity and acceptance, asking "¿Qué más da ser chica o chico?" [What does it matter to be a girl or a boy?] if you're a friend, and "¿Qué más da ser negra o blanca?" [What does it matter to be black or white?] if you're a sister. It's a hopeful track, dreaming of a better world and searching for a "sentimiento nuevo" [new feeling], while also acknowledging past pain with the line "No más Hiroshima." It's a beautiful mix of joy, reflection, and a desire for a more loving future.
