Soy lo que soy
I am what I am
Y aceptarme como soy
And accept me as I am
A veces cuesta más trabajo que serlo
Sometimes it's harder than being that
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Reconocer que no soy la que quise ser
To recognize that I'm not who I wanted to be
Me deja sin saber
Leaves me not knowing
Lo que soy
What I am
Y escribo mil canciones
And I write a thousand songs
Para descubrir mi historia
To uncover my story
Pero no puedo escaparme de ella
But I can't escape from it
Se rompe otro espejo más
Another mirror breaks
Y sigo aquí
And I'm still here
Como soy
Just as I am
Soy lo que soy
I am what I am
Y aceptarme como soy
And accepting myself as I am
A veces cuesta más trabajo que serlo
Sometimes it's harder than just being it
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Reconocer que no soy la que fui ayer
To recognize that I'm not who I was yesterday
Me deja sin saber
Leaves me unsure
Lo que soy
Of what I am
Y no es que no me quiera
And it's not that I don't love myself
Es que hay cosas que me sacan
It's just that there are things that pull me away
Decisiones que resiento haber tomado
Decisions I regret having made
Uh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Y no lo puedo resistir
And I can't resist it
Dejarlo ir
Letting it go
Es imposible
It's impossible
Soy lo que soy
I am who I am
Y aceptarme como soy
And accepting myself as I am
A veces cuesta más trabajo que serlo
Sometimes it's harder than just being
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Reconocer que no soy la que quise ser
To acknowledge I'm not who I wanted to be
Me deja sin saber
Leaves me unsure
Lo que soy
Of who I am
