Canciones por la tolerancia III: Beautiful

"Beautiful" es una canción interpretada por la cantante y compositora estadounidense Christina Aguilera para su segundo álbum, Stripped, publicado en 2002. 

La letra habla de una persona con baja autoestima que se siente extremadamente insegura. Muchos la consideran como un himno anti-bullying. Según explicó la compositora de la canción, Linda Perry, "escuchar a la gente diciéndote que no eres lo suficientemente buena, hermosa o inteligente, puede afectarte hasta tal punto de sentirte horrible e inútil".

En el vídeoclip se pueden ver claras referencias a temas como la anorexia, el acoso escolar,  la discriminación por el aspecto físico, la raza o la orientación sexual. La secuencia comienza con un girasol marchito, y termina con uno joven y fresco.

Aquí os dejamos su letra (en español en el vídeo) y música:

Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
