Yo soy asi
Benny Sadel Lyrics

Benny Sadel's song "Yo soy asi" is a heartfelt ballad about a person who is in love with someone, but with whom the relationship is not what it seems. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they received some words from their lover that day. Although the words came from their lover, the singer's eyes could not lie, and the singer knew that their lover's words were insincere. The singer, however, didn't care about the lies because they felt happy just being next to their lover and feeling them close to them. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Yo soy asi," which translates to "I am like this" in English, emphasizing that this is just who the singer is, accepting the situation for what it is.

The second verse starts by describing the kisses that were empty and lacked warmth, and the presents that were given as gifts were just a symbol of the fake love that the singer's lover had for them. Despite all of this, the singer still felt happy being close to them. The chorus repeats "Yo soy asi," indicating that the singer is accepting the situation and who they are.

The bridge of the song expresses the fear of what will happen if their relationship does not change. Admittingly, if things do not change, it will be like a star without light. Despite this, the singer still sings about their love for the rain, fire, sea, and sun, and still longs for the love of the person they are with. The end of the song continues with the fear of their life not changing, but despite that fear, the singer knows that they will always be by their lover's side.

Overall, Benny Sadel's "Yo soy asi" is a powerful song of acceptance and love, even when the love is not reciprocated. The singer accepts themselves for who they are and accepts the situation they are in, even when fear is present.
