Soy Rebelde Lyrics in English Jeanette

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy Rebelde by Jeanette from Spanish to English.
I am a rebel
Because the world has made me like this
Because nobody has treated me with love
Because nobody has ever wanted to hear me
I am a rebel
Because always without reason
They denied me everything that I asked for
And they only gave me incomprehension
And I'd like to be like that child
Like that man that is happy
And I'd like to give what is in me
Everything in exchange for a friendship
And to dream, and to live
And to forget resentment
And to sing, and to laugh
And to feel only love
I am a rebel
Because the world has made me like this
Because nobody has treated me with love
Because nobody has ever wanted to hear me
And I'd like to be like that child
Like that man that is happy
And I'd like to give what is in me
Everything in exchange for a friendship
And to dream, and to live
And to forget resentment
And to sing, and to laugh
And to feel only love

SONG MEANING

Soy Rebelde is not a fist-pumping anthem of rule-breaking, but a heartfelt confession from someone who feels pushed to the margins. Jeanette sings “Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me ha hecho así” to explain that her defiance was shaped by a lifelong lack of love, understanding, and listening ears. Each repetition of “porque” piles up small moments of rejection into one big reason to rebel, making listeners feel the weight of every ignored plea and misunderstood dream.

Yet beneath the fragile melancholy glows a hopeful wish. The narrator longs to be “como el niño aquel… como el hombre aquel que es feliz,” to swap rebellion for simple friendship, laughter, and unconditional love. The song becomes both a quiet protest and an invitation: treat people with warmth and empathy, and the walls of rebellion can crumble into songs of joy.
