Soy asi

Elefante's song 'Soy así' is a heartfelt ode to the resilience and optimism that define the human spirit. The lyrics reflect a philosophy of embracing both victories and defeats, choosing to see the glass as half full rather than half empty. This perspective is beautifully encapsulated in the lines 'A veces gano a veces pierdo, pero prefiero ver la luz y ver el vaso medio lleno,' which translate to 'Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I prefer to see the light and see the glass half full.' The song suggests that this outlook is not unique but shared by many, as indicated by the line 'y soy así, igual que tú' ('and I am like this, just like you')—a reminder that we are all in this together.

The song also delves into the simple joys of life, such as watching the sunset by the sea or enjoying the moon's beauty in the company of a loved one. These moments of tranquility and connection are highlighted in the lyrics 'me gusta ver caer la tarde frente al mar, me gusta mucho más la luna si tú estás' ('I like to watch the evening fall by the sea, I like the moon much more if you are there'). This imagery evokes a sense of peace and contentment, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the present and the people we share it with.

Furthermore, 'Soy así' touches on the power of dreams and the importance of hope. The lyrics 'Algunas madrugadas vuelo, me cuelgo de una nube y quiero cambiar todo con un verso' ('Some dawns I fly, I hang from a cloud and want to change everything with a verse') illustrate the boundless nature of imagination and the desire to make a difference. The song encourages listeners to hold onto their dreams and believe in the possibility of change, as expressed in 'si nadie muere por creer y por soñar' ('if no one dies for believing and dreaming'). This message is reinforced by the lines 'abraza una esperanza que todo puede cambiar' ('embrace a hope that everything can change'), urging us to remain hopeful even when the world seems to be falling apart.

'Soy así' by Elefante is a celebration of life's highs and lows, the beauty of simple moments, and the enduring power of hope and dreams. It resonates with anyone who has faced challenges but chooses to remain optimistic and continue dreaming.
