Verse 1

I'm not that woman that you imagine

A calm and simple young lady

That one day you abandon and always forgives

That girl yes, no

That is not me

I'm not that woman that you believed

The white dove that dances to your tune

'Bailar el agua a alguien' translates to 'dancing to someone's tune' in English, meaning to please someone excessively or to flatter them to gain their favor

That laughs for nothing saying yes to everything

That girl yes, no

That is not me

Chorus 1

You'll never be able to boast

Of having played

With the truth, with the love

Of others

Verse 2

If you truly love me, I'm no longer that woman

That gets scared in front of a storm

Fighting among waves, finds the shore

That girl yes, no

That is not me

But if you're only looking for adventures

Friend, guard your whole house

I'm not that woman that loses hope

Think about it, not anymore

I'm not that woman that you imagine

A calm and simple young lady

That one day you abandon and always forgives

That girl yes, no

That is not me

SONG MEANING

Mari Trini’s pop classic “Yo No Soy Esa” is a spirited anthem of self-assertion. In the lyrics, the Spanish singer refuses to fit into the passive, forgiving “good girl” mold her partner expects. She dismantles that image line by line, insisting she is not a quiet señorita who will smile, forgive, and wait around. Instead, she presents herself as a woman with boundaries, courage, and a clear sense of self-worth.

The song’s message is both rebellious and uplifting: real love cannot thrive on control or convenience. If someone seeks only fleeting fun or easy conquests, they had better look elsewhere, because this narrator has outgrown submission. “Yo No Soy Esa” becomes a bold declaration of female empowerment, encouraging listeners to reject limiting stereotypes and demand respect in every relationship.
