Felices de Siempre

The song 'Felices de Siempre' by Steven Universo is a poignant reflection on growth, change, and the attainment of peace after a long struggle. The lyrics, delivered by characters from the animated series 'Steven Universe', encapsulate their individual journeys and the collective resolution they've reached. Steven begins by celebrating the present, a future that is 'great' and free from fears and fights, highlighting the contrast to the past where he felt overshadowed by his mother's legacy and the constant battles he faced. His personal growth is marked by the realization of his own strength and the victories he has achieved in saving the world and protecting the galaxy.

Each verse from the other characters—Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst—reveals their own paths to this moment of peace. Pearl reminisces about her life serving Pink Diamond and the freedom she felt upon escaping to Earth with her, yet acknowledges the lingering attachment and the pain that followed. Garnet recounts the unexpected fusion of Ruby and Sapphire, which led to her existence, filled with love and confusion. Amethyst speaks of her origin in a kindergarten, a product of a war she didn't know she'd fight, and her journey to self-discovery and finding a family.

The chorus, sung by all characters, reiterates the theme of a hard-earned, peaceful future. The repetition of 'Este es el futuro' (This is the future) and the final lines expressing their collective happiness 'al final' (in the end) underscore the sense of closure and contentment they've found. The song is a celebration of overcoming past adversities and embracing a future where they can be 'felices de siempre'—happy ever after.
