Yo soy bea

Edurne's song 'Yo soy bea' tells the story of a young, innocent girl named Bea who enters the harsh, competitive world of the office. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Bea's naivety and how it makes her an easy target for the 'sharks'—a metaphor for the ruthless and cunning people she encounters. The song's tone is both sympathetic and cautionary, urging Bea to toughen up and learn to navigate this challenging environment.

The song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey its message. Bea is described as being 'nerviosita 'perdía'' and 'inocente y tan enterita,' highlighting her vulnerability. The 'tiburones' and 'lagartas' represent the predatory nature of some people in the workplace, who are ready to exploit her innocence. The advice given to Bea is clear: she needs to develop a tougher exterior, symbolized by the need for 'veneno' (poison) and the ability to 'saca dientes' (show teeth).

The chorus reinforces this message, emphasizing that life requires a balance of heart and cunning. The line 'A ti te falta veneno y te sobra corazón' encapsulates the central theme: Bea has too much heart and not enough guile. The song also touches on the idea that those who truly care for you will advise you to think of yourself and adapt to the rules of the game. The final lines, 'Ay Bea, mi Bea, no me seas inocente,' serve as a poignant reminder that to succeed, one must be willing to 'hincar bien el diente' (sink their teeth in) and take what they deserve.

'Yo soy bea' is a compelling narrative about the challenges of maintaining one's innocence and kindness in a world that often rewards the opposite. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, urging listeners to find a balance between heart and strategy in their own lives.
