beyonce(±Ì°ºË¹) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oye, lo que tengo que decir
No puedo ya seguir viviendo así
Oye (uhum) como llora mi canción
Preciso tu atención de vez oir
Hoy no se quien soy ni se adonde voy
Encontrarme hoy es mi missión
De tu prisón por fin ya soy libre
Oye...
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
HOY...
Buscaré mi propria 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 prisón por fin ya soy libre

Oye...
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
HOY...
Buscaré mi propria 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 asì

Ya me voy
Buscaré mi propria luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor hoy me ire sin ti




Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
Mi voz

Overall Meaning

The song "Listen" by Beyonce is a powerful ballad about finding one's own voice and breaking free from someone's hold. The lyrics are full of emotion and express the singer's frustration with being silenced and her determination to break free from her oppressor.


The opening lyrics of the song convey a sense of desperation as the singer acknowledges that she can no longer continue living the way she has been. She pleads for the listener's attention to hear her cry out and find her own identity. The singer admits to feeling lost and uncertain about where she is going, but knows that she must break free from her oppressor's prison in order to find herself.


Throughout the song, the singer's message is one of empowerment and self-discovery. She refuses to accept her oppressor's limitations and instead chooses to pursue her own dreams and aspirations. The chorus repeats the message that the singer must listen to her own heart and find her own light, despite what others may say.

Listen to the song here in my heart
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 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
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
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
