Russian term or phrase: Быть \"самими сабими\"
Здравствуйте. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как можно перевести на английский данную фразу, исковеркав ее грамматически аналогично русскому варианту? Эта вставка в ролике из интервью с не совсем трезвой девушкой в ночном клубе: https://youtu.be/RjSnsnVrEb0?t=4m12s

Хотя, поскольку "самими собими" - это как бы "множественное число" от "самим собой", то можно и в английском написать так же: "be ourselfs" вместо "be ourselves".

Или даже ТАК: be ourselfses / be youselfses.

Такой же тип "множественного числа" использовал приснопамятный Голлум из "Властелина Колец". )))

Another interpretation: If the lady includes herself in the category, then she might be saying Let us be true to ourselves and show our best sides.

neutral  El oso: That's what she is trying to say, obviously, but her words are slurred (or garbled, if you will), 'cause she is drunk. "Сабими" is not quite the same as "самими".
15 mins
  -> Well, I did a double translation: from drunken Russian to sober Russian and then to, hopefully, sober English. Perhaps, we should slur "beaeae yourzselvz."
