Be Yourself (Kun Anta ; English Translation)
In order to keep up with them, I imitated their looks and exterior
So I became someone else – just to boast
And I thought that through that I’d gained a fortune
But I found that I’d lost, for these are mere appearances
Chorus:
No, no,
We don’t need wealth to increase in beauty
Our essence is here, in our hearts it shines
No, no
We will not seek to please others with that which we deem unbefitting for ourselves
That is our beauty, rising and ascending above
Oh wo oh, oh wo oh..
Be yourself and you will increase in beauty
I accept people but I don’t imitate them
Except for what I agree with, to satisfy myself
I will just be myself, just the way I am, this is me
My conviction suffices, this is my certainty
(Chorus)
I’ll be what I please to be
I won’t seek their acceptance
I’ll be whom I love to be
Why would I care about their acceptance

What Makes You Beautiful
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That what makes you beautiful
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Nothing much to elaborate.
Just wanna say, I think these two songs
bring almost the same messages.
I know most of the people will object my opinion.
Including my kak naqibah who loves Kun Anta very much.
Haha.
But who cares?
That's my opinion.
:D
