Verse 1
I fell, I stood up, I walked, I climbed up
I went against the current and also got lost
I failed, I found myself, I lived it and learned
When you hit hard, the yes is deeper
I keep dancing and writing my lyrics
I keep singing with the doors open
Crossing through all these lands
And you don't have to travel far to find the answer
Chorus 1
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, just say
It's me, it's me
Verse 2
I keep walking, I keep laughing
I do what I want, I die trying
Nobody cares what I'm doing
The only thing that matters is what's inside
I like being in the sand
Bathing in the sea, without reason, without problems
Sitting without doing anything
Watching from afar and being relaxed
Chorus 2
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, just say
It's me, it's me
Bridge
I'm like this, I'm like this, I'm like this, relaxed
And you don't even know me, very relaxed
I'm like this, I'm like this, I'm like this, relaxed
And you don't even know me, very relaxed
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, just say
It's me, it's me
In bed, relaxed
With my singing, in pajamas
It's me
That's how I am!

piyamaspajamas

Piyamas means "pajamas." The more common Spanish spelling is pijamas, so the "y" here gives it a playful, standout feel that you rarely hear in song lyrics.

In "Soy Yo," the singer proudly says she’s herself even "con piyamas," underscoring the song’s message of carefree self-acceptance. It’s a fun, memorable word that invites learners to discover this quirky spelling and the relaxed vibe it conveys.

This song is a massive, joyful anthem about loving yourself and ignoring anyone who tries to bring you down. Bomba Estéreo's singer, Li Saumet, starts by listing all the tough things she's been through: "Yo caí, me paré, caminé, me subí" (I fell, I stood up, I walked, I climbed). She talks about failing, getting lost, and learning from it all. But the point isn't the struggle; it's the confident conclusion she reaches. When people criticize you, she says, you just have to tell them, "Soy yo" (It's me).

What does it mean to be "me"? According to the song, it's about doing exactly what you want and being willing to "muero en el intento" (die trying). It's also about finding happiness in the simple, chill moments, like being on the beach "sin razón, sin problema" (without reason, without a problem). The song ends with the ultimate image of self-acceptance: being relaxed in bed, singing in her pajamas. It's a powerful and fun reminder that the only person you need approval from is yourself.
