Beyonc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No puedo ya seguir viviendo así
Oye mmm huhmm como llora mi canción
Preciso tu atención debes oír
Hoy no sé quién soy, ni sé adónde voy
Encontrarme hoy es mi misión
¡De tu prisión por fin ya soy libre!
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
Hoy
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor voy a partir
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
Nunca quisiste que me fuera a volar
Callar mi identidad, que gran error
Hoy grito no tengo más temor
Hoy tu alumna te dice adiós
¡De tu prisión por fin ya soy libre, eh, eh!
¡Oye!
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
¡Hoy!
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor voy a partir
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
Yo soy tu gran creación
Por eso es que me voy
Dime adiós, dime adiós
¡Oye!
Lo que tengo que decir
No puedo ya seguir viviendo así
¡Ya me voy!
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor hoy ya lo decidí
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
¡Mi voz!
The lyrics of Beyonc's song Listen convey a powerful message of self-discovery, empowerment, and the importance of listening to one's own heart. The song carries a strong emotional aroma through its bridge where the lyrics, ‘Oye mmm huhmm como llora mi cancin/ Preciso tu atencin debes or’ (Listen how my song cries/ I need you to pay attention and listen) reflects the sense of desperation of the singer to be heard and seen the way she truly is. The opening lines of the song reflect the singer's overwhelming emotions, as she declares that she cannot go on living like this and that she needs to be heard.
As the song progresses, the singer finds strength and courage to break free from the confines of a controlling relationship, urging her listeners to join her in doing the same. The lyrics, ‘Nunca quisiste que me fuera a volar/ Callar mi identidad, que gran error/ Hoy grito no tengo ms temor/ Hoy tu alumna te dice adis’ (You never wanted me to fly/ Silence my identity, what a big mistake/ Today I scream, I have no more fear/ Today your pupil says goodbye) imply that the singer discovers her true identity and decides to break free from the chains of a relationship that suppresses her growth.
The chorus of the song is a powerful reminder to listen to one's heart and find one's true voice, as the singer proclaims that she will "search for her own light" and "listen to her heart" in order to truly be free. The instrumental climax towards the end of the song adds to the overall sentiment of defiance and liberation.

A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened, there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete
Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own
