Yo soy
Javiera Barreau Lyrics

The first verse of Javiera Barreau's song Yo Soy describes how the singer is being carried away by the breaths/sighs of life. Through these breaths, she finds herself in a meeting with herself, others, and eventually the universe. The second verse speaks to the convictions that speak to her today, yet they are not found in the mind, but rather in the act of breathing. The chorus announces the singer's return to herself and the declaration that she is herself. She repeats the phrase "Yo soy" (I am) multiple times, solidifying her identity.

The next section of the song shifts to a focus on sound and music. The words "Atencion, al aire, silencio, dinámica
Paneo, a tierra, piano, forte.
Calma" (Attention, to the air, silence, dynamics
Pan, to the ground, piano, forte.
Calm) suggest an instruction for musicians or sound engineers, asking them to pay attention to the details of sound production. This section is followed by the bridge, where the singer speaks to the four corners of time. She's letting go of the past, the present, and the future to be present in the moment. She's also acknowledging the universe's interconnected nature, where all time and space converge.

The song's last repetition of "Yo soy mi casa" (I am my home) suggests that the singer has found solace and identity in her own personhood, finding a sense of belonging within herself. Altogether, the lyrics in Javiera Barreau's song Yo Soy speak to the journey of self-discovery, pursuing authenticity, and finding a sense of belonging.
