And once again, Beret

And what am I going to do if I'm happy, lady

When I don't know how to continue, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I am growing back since everything is going well

And what am I going to do if I'm happy, lady

When I don't know how to continue, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I am growing back since everything is going well

Of course, it has been difficult to hold on to the moments

That I haven't appreciated, not even what's ahead

That the scars have made me arrive too late

But better late than never to stay and I'm

Walking along the paths of life and I am

What I intend to be because of what I give

And I won't get alarmed

I had time to get angry but not today

I know there are things that won't stop

That I have memories stored in the attic

That everything that comes goes, but it goes more than it comes, you know?

That doesn't matter, doors close, who cares

I have the keys, time will tell and I'll tell you how much you're worth

And what am I going to do if I'm happy, lady

When I don't know how to continue, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I am growing back since everything is going well

And what am I going to do if I'm happy, lady

When I don't know how to continue, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I am growing back since everything is going well

Just give me a moment

I'm going to make it last

Keep calm, don't rush, don't doubt, and let the bad flow

When I stitch the wound, don't open it again

Because there's no reason why we're still alive

Because today I do breathe enough

To bury the punishments that are in the mind

Today I feel blessed and I know it's enough

To distance myself from everything that hates me

If every day is the beginning of a story

And I want to tell it, tell me who will stop me, and no

I won't allow their harm

I don't want any more burden, bro

My conscience is clear and I

I don't need forgiveness from the one who hurt me

You know there's no reason anymore

There is no longer a song that takes away the pain

Because since there is nothing to start, no no

I have to be better, I just have to be me

At least today I don't know how tomorrow

And what am I going to do if I'm happy lady?

When I don't know how to follow, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I'm growing back since everything is going well

And what am I going to do if I'm happy lady?

When I don't know how to follow, let the air take me

I have uprooted myself, don't you see that

I'm growing back since everything is going well

arrancado de raíz — uprooted

Arrancado de raíz literally translates to "torn out by the root" or "uprooted." It's a vivid and somewhat dramatic phrase that you don't encounter in everyday conversation, making it memorable.

In the song, Beret uses this phrase to describe a profound personal transformation, singing, "Me he arrancado de raíz, ¿acaso no veis que estoy volviendo a crecer?" (I've uprooted myself, don't you see that I'm growing again?). It powerfully conveys the idea of completely detaching from his past to start anew and grow.

Beret's "Hoy" is all about embracing the present and finding happiness right now. He's basically saying, "What am I going to do if I'm happy, lady?" [Y qué le voy a hacer si soy feliz lady]. It's a song about moving on from past hurts and choosing to grow. He talks about how he's "torn himself out by the roots" [Me he arrancado de raíz] and is now "growing again" [Estoy volviendo a crecer] because everything is going well.

He acknowledges that it's been tough to appreciate the good moments and that scars have made him late to things, but he's firm that "better late than never to stay" [mejor tarde que nunca para quedarme]. Beret is done being angry and says, "I had time to get angry, but not today" [Ya tuve tiempo para enfadarme pero no hoy]. He's letting go of the past, closing doors, and focusing on being himself, at least for today. It's a really uplifting message about self-acceptance and living in the moment.
