Creo En Mí Lyrics in English by Natalia Jiménez
Alas de metal literally translates to "wings of metal". This beautiful and powerful phrase is a central metaphor in this song about resilience.
Natalia Jiménez sings, "Tanta guerra me dio alas de metal" (So much war gave me wings of metal), to express how her past struggles haven't broken her. Instead, they have forged her into someone stronger, giving her indestructible wings to fly high above any adversity.
This song is a powerful anthem about believing in yourself, especially when others don't. Natalia Jiménez starts by describing how people have put her down, telling her she's "buena para nada" [good for nothing] and that she's even "perdido hasta las ganas de llorar" [lost the will to cry]. But this isn't a sad song. It's about fighting back. She declares, "Pero estoy de vuelta / Estoy de pie y bien alerta" [But I'm back / I'm on my feet and very alert] and rejects the idea of being a nobody.
The chorus is a simple, strong declaration: "Creo, creo, creo en mí" [I believe, I believe, I believe in myself]. The song uses intense battle imagery to show how she's become stronger. She says so much conflict has given her "alas de metal" [wings of metal] and that she now flies over the problems that used to keep her down. She's done crawling on the ground. The message becomes universal when she sings, "Todos somos tan desiguales / Únicos, originales" [We are all so different / Unique, original], making it a song for anyone who has ever felt underestimated.
