Song lyrics

Send "Reflection" ringtones to your cell

Look at me
You may think you see 
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday, it's as if I play a part

Now I see, if I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Chorus:
Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
 
I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart,
And what I believe in
But somehow, I will show the world,
What's inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am

Chorus: 
Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I dont know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly,
That burns with the need to know the reason why

Why must we all conceal,
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal ok this song i know touch every1's heart. the message is so good and touching. her voice is so amazing. and i wanna point out that this song was suppose to be whitney houston's song but she cant do it. so just imagine being the second to whitney!! ppls plz dont compare her to britney spears, ok christina got a record deal b4 britney, britney wouldnt even have a chance to go through. britney just had a good marketing. anyways christina has a very powerful voice. she rocks

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal For you ... what you see of me... is the reality... but you don't know... the role life makes me play...... where ... I’m a joke to ... the world around me... but to my own heart... NEVER... Today I couldn’t recognize... the one I saw… across from me... My reflection did not show... who I am really...... One day more... my heart... I must conceal... for ME to feel... they will know... me... as I am... and I believe... really... this day will come..... Today I did not recognize... who I saw... across from me... that one... in my reflection... I know that it … isn’t me ... I don't want the show... I want to be... REALITY... My reflection... did not show... who I am… really..... my heart… feeling... flying... where I am not... Since what I want is not... But I will... And I won’t be like that... seeming to be what is not ... ALIVE... The one that I see... opposing me... is no more... .... Right now, I’m not pretending anymore... no more... One shining day will come for me and ... LOVE... will rescue me... and that day ... I will be … ME ...... It is a song which is sung by Christina Aguillera, in the Spanish, at the end of her CD by the same name: Mi Reflejo: "My Reflection." She did a version of this in English translation also and the first translation I posted on my website was the one she sings in the English version along with another one that I got. …Today, when I looked at it, I saw it wasn’t right. Here is the true translation, my translation....This song entranced me and I carried the lyrics of it all the way to the beaches of Florida and never knew what it meant…but her voice told me what it must mean…Christina made me learn Spanish …just to be sure...... The right song is everything . When it is sung by the right person. It’s all I need...I invite members of this forum to visit my online forum, where recently I posted Christina's song in Spanish with three translations and discussion in which I related it to some great Spanish poetry by Octavio Paz, the Nobel laureate from Mexico...I posted this song for my 19 year-old daughter who has been in the hospital and is going through a critical time...The song is her own story.

2 posts	from an e-amail to a friend:... I find that for some reason a lot of times when I mention that I like Christina Aguillera I get a response from people that is sort of..."well...okay. I didn’t know you were a teeny-bopper"--or some sort of innuendo like that--even my own teenage kids seem to feel that it's 'weird'-- its not the cool thing to do if you want to be 'not superficial.'...Yet, this seems to be the very attitude which generates the message of her song: that 'worldly' dismissal of someone, seen as a 'joke' in the eyes of the world--'my reflection'--someone who is not 'ME'--and is a 'joke' in the eyes of the world... I love her....But...likely her voice is so entrancing when she sings in Spanish--I only know the one CD--the Spanish version--that's the one I'd recommend. It doesn't matter if you can't understand the words--just listen to her sing...so you should get "Mi Reflejo"--NOT "My Reflection"--or whatever it is she may have called the English version---which I have never actually heard....actually, after I sent you the e-mail, I realized that the translation I did of that song was also inadequate--it is only because I e-mailed you that I noticed the deficiencies: here is a better translation: . For you ... what you see of me... is the reality... but you don't know... the role life makes me play...... where ... I’m a joke to ... the world around me... but to my own heart... NEVER... Today I couldn’t recognize... the one I saw… across from me... My reflection did not show... who I am really...... One day more... my heart... I must conceal... for ME to feel... they will know... me... as I am... and I believe... really... this day will come..... Today I did not recognize... who I saw... across from me... that one... in my reflection... I know that it …it isn’t me ... I don't want the show... I want to be... REALITY... My reflection... did not show... who I am… really..... my heart… feeling... flying... where I am not... Since what I want is not... But I will... And I won’t be like that... seeming to be what is not ... ALIVE... The one that I see... opposing me... is no more... .... Right now, I’m not pretending anymore... not anymore... One shining day will come for me and ... LOVE... will rescue me... and that day ... I will be … ME ...... I may have mentioned to you that ….this song entranced me and I carried the lyrics of it all the way to the beaches of Florida and never knew what it meant…but her voice told me what it must mean…Christina made me learn Spanish …just to be sure. The right song is everything . When it is sung by the right person. It’s all I need... Recently I related it to the poetry of Octavio Paz which I think I also sent you, on my website...and posted it for my teenage daughter Ruthie who was recently in the hospital and has been going thru some hard times...the song is her song--and most of us can sing about the same story of---always learning more, to be ...ourselves...

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal [b]reflections... i can see how girls can hear this song and say they relate because the words do say "who is that girl i see", cause yeah, some women do have to pretend to be something theyre not... weird thing is, a song like this really hits home to many gay men and women, im sure... hiding who you are for societies sake, or for the sake of their family... i think this song is an anthem for many gays and lesbians. its funny how some people in this world who love this song and say how they can "relate" to the song or how some people feel the song is written for them, are homophobes... [that comment is a general statement, im not accusing anyone who has posted above]
