[English]

People point at me

They point at me with their finger

They whisper behind my back

And I couldn't care less

What does it matter to me?

If I'm different from them

I belong to no one

I have no owner

I know they criticize me

I'm aware that they hate me

Envy eats them up

My life overwhelms them

Why is that?

I am not to blame

My circumstance

Insults them

My destiny is what I decide

The one I choose for myself

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

Maybe the blame is mine

For not following the norm

It's already too late

To change now

I will remain

Firm in my convictions

I will reinforce

My positions

My destiny is what I decide

The one I choose for myself

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

Who cares what I do?

Who cares what I say?

I am like this and I will continue like this

I will never change

[Spanish]

La gente me señala

Me apunta con el dedo

Susurra a mis espaldas

Y a mí me importa un bledo

¿Qué más me da?

Si soy distinta a ellos

No soy de nadie

No tengo dueño

Yo sé que me critican

Me consta que me odian

La envidia les corroe

Mi vida les agobia

¿Por qué será?

Yo no tengo la culpa

Mi circunstancia

Les insulta

Mi destino es el que yo decido

El que yo elijo para mí

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré

Quizá la culpa es mía

Por no seguir la norma

Ya es demasiado tarde

Para cambiar ahora

Me mantendré

Firme en mis convicciones

Reforzaré

Mis posiciones

Mi destino es el que yo decido

El que yo elijo para mí

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré

A quién le importa lo que yo haga

A quién le importa lo que yo diga

Yo soy así y así seguiré

Nunca cambiaré
