Adaptation - I. Ballesteros
Déjame ser mujer, déjameÖ ser mujer,
daría todo por tenerte, no te agobiaré, si me amas.
Yo me pondría pantis negros porque sé como te van,
no pediría que me llames si vas a tardar.
donde estás, ni quien será, quien nos separará.
Me tragaré mentiras por verdad,
evitaré a quien de tí me hable mal.
Tú déjame ser mujer, no lloraré.
Dejaré de ver el tele-culebrón,
no te comparé con héroes de mi "pulp-fiction".
Oh no, no pido tu seguridad porque no me la das.
Y ademásÖ no preguntaré,
donde estás, ni quien será quien nos separará.
Me tragaré mentiras por verdad,
evitaré a quien de tí me habla mal.
Tú déjame Ö ser mujer,
déjame ser mujerÖ sin más.
Déjame ser mujer,
déjame Ö ser mujer.
Daría todo por tenerte,
no te agobiaré, si me amas,
si tú me amas, si me amas.
The song "Déjame Ser Mujer" (Let Me Be A Woman) by RED Axelle is a tribute to a woman's desire for independence, respect, and equality in her relationship. The lyrics express the yearning to be loved and appreciated for who she is, without the need for validation or assurance. The refrain "Déjame ser mujer" is a plea for the freedom to be herself and not conform to the traditional expectations of what a girlfriend or wife should be.
The opening lines encapsulate this sentiment: "Déjame ser mujer, daría todo por tenerte" ("Let me be a woman, I would do anything to have you"). She's not asking for him to complete her, but rather for the space to be herself, without judgment or criticism. She's willing to fulfil his desires ("me pondría pantis negros porque sé como te van"), but not at the expense of her own self-worth.
The rest of the song is a celebration of self-love and confidence. She won't cry or compare him to fictional characters or ask for reassurance, as she's secure in herself. She acknowledges that relationships are imperfect and requires effort, but she's willing to make sacrifices, swallow her pride, and avoid anyone who may speak ill of him. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, "Déjame ser mujer, déjame Ö ser mujer, déjame ser mujer, déjame Ö ser mujer," as a reminder of her simple request - to be allowed to live and love as herself.
