Oye Lyrics in English Beyoncé

Oye is Beyoncé’s Spanish-language cry for freedom. Through pulsating R&B grooves, she tells the story of someone who finally says “listen, I can’t live like this anymore.” The lyrics paint a picture of a woman trapped in an emotional prison who rediscovers her courage, breaks the chains, and takes flight. Every “¡Oye!” is a bold knock on the door to independence, demanding the listener’s attention while announcing her own rebirth.

At its heart, the song is about self-discovery and empowerment. Beyoncé’s narrator decides to follow her heart, search for her own light, and find her true voice. She acknowledges the past (“Yo soy tu gran creación”) yet chooses a future where she defines herself. It is an anthem for anyone ready to leave behind doubt, reclaim their identity, and step into the world stronger than before.
