Yo soy como soy [English translation]

Sometimes, I feel the need to love

And I often cannot drink

In that moment, I looked for a song

Which would help me entertain my thirst

It has delusions which have to do with tradition,

And other herbs which I chew,

And I am going to sing them to you

I am as I am,

And I borrowed from almost everyone

I am as I am,

And I lend my hand to almost everyone

And I lend my hand to almost everyone

And I lent my hand to almost...

Tell me which one of your sorrows I could heal,

I would like to be a doctor, too

I only want this old song of mine

To be of some relief for your pain

That which I give you, from mortal to mortal,

I willingly give away

The remainder is waiting for you

I am as I am...

I know there are pains which can't be healed

By even the most nicely done of songs

In any case, I invite you to fill

That good heart of yours with optimism

It is worth it to stop crying,

And to make an appointment with the future,

It is worth it to live

I am as I am...
