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!

SONG MEANING

Bomba Estéreo’s pop anthem "Soy Yo" is a vibrant invitation to own your uniqueness. Over a catchy, tropical beat, Colombian singer Li Saumet recounts falling down, getting back up, and pushing against the current. Each stumble becomes proof that her "yes" to life only grows stronger. She keeps dancing, writing, and singing with the doors wide open, reminding us that the real answers are often right where we stand.

The chorus—"Soy yo" ("I’m me")—is a playful shield against criticism. The lyrics celebrate carefree afternoons on the beach, laughing at setbacks, and valuing what’s inside over outside opinions. Whether she’s lounging in pajamas or crossing new lands, the message is the same: relax, be yourself, and let the world adapt to you. In short, "Soy Yo" is a joyful pep-talk for anyone ready to step into the spotlight of their own life.
