This is the first line of the song "Que Sera?" by Amaral.
The whole first verse goes:
Yo soy la bala perdida
Esta noche me voy a bailar
Yo soy una viva la vida
Pero siempre digo la verdad
Earlier today I asked about this line in an entry in which my primary question concerned "You soy una viva la vida". One responder told me I should submit this entry separately, so here it is.
Thank you for the answers already received to my earlier question.

I'm a stray bullet
Literally it means stray (lost) bullet; in Mexico it can also mean good-for nothing, but I don't think that is what it means here, I think it means someone out to look for an adventure, a good time.
Collins:
ser un(a) bala perdida or (México) rasa to be a good-for-nothing o an idle layabout;

Comment: "I like Kyle Burk's answer. In the context of this song, someone with a "devil may care attitude" makes sense. Thank you."
