Soy Yo Lyrics in English by Marc Anthony
Navegué is the past tense of "navegar," meaning "to sail" or "to navigate." While it literally refers to traveling by boat, it's used here in a more intimate and metaphorical sense.
Marc Anthony sings, "Yo navegué entre tu cuerpo, a la deriva sin viento" (I sailed between your body, adrift without wind). This evocative imagery suggests a deep, immersive exploration of his lover, highlighting a profound connection that goes beyond the physical, even as he feels lost without her guidance.
"Soy Yo" opens with an admission: "Tú sabes que no he podido olvidarte" [You know that I haven't been able to forget you]. Marc Anthony isn't hiding the heartbreak, but the song turns fast from missing her to something steadier. He tells her that no matter who she's with now, "Yo sé bien que aquí en tú alma soy yo" [I know well that here in your soul, it's me]. That's the whole argument of the song: he doesn't need her back to know he's still there.
The chorus keeps repeating the same complaint: "Lo tengo todo, todo, todo" [I have everything, everything, everything], "o casi todo, todo, todo, por que me faltas tú" [or almost everything, everything, everything, because I'm missing you]. A full life with one specific gap in it. By the end he's less asking for her back and more settling into being the one she can't shake. "Él que te enseñó, el que te gustó, soy yo" [The one who taught you, the one you liked, it's me], he says, plain and certain.
