[English]

Each to their own - Stop getting involved where it doesn't concern you

Think twice before you open your mouth

Each one should just do what they need to do and avoid conflicts

I see how they speak poorly even about their own family

And I can't imagine what they say about mine - But I brush off what they say about my life

And if I drink almost all week - And if I want to party every day

Each to their own! Each to their own! - If I spend money on expensive things

If I go on vacation to Italy - Each to their own! Don't get tangled up, each to their own!

If it bothers you, just don't look - And if I want to stay up again, each to their own!

(Oh, come on! Tighten up, they caught us, son!) - (And each one do with their life what they want!)

(Right, Maluma?) - (Oh, dad!)

(And pure Grupo Firme!) - (Stronger than ever!)

Why do they ask how much I earn and what I have? - Nothing

They just want to keep counting my money - Each one works

to not be asking for what isn't theirs - They just waste their time when they criticize me

They want to see me down, but it motivates me to rise higher

Each one has to - stay sharp, without envy

And if I drink almost all week - And if I want to party every day

Each to their own! Each to their own! - If I spend money on expensive things

If I go on vacation to Italy - Each to their own! Don't get tangled up, each to their own!

If it bothers you, just don't look - And if I want to stay up again, each to their own!

[Spanish]

Cada Quien Dejen de meterse ya en donde no les importa 

Piénsenla dos veces antes de ir a abrir la boca 

Cada quien que haga no más lo  que le toca y menos broncas 

Miro cómo hablan mal hasta de su familia 

Y no me imagino lo que dicen de la mía Pero a mí se me resbala lo que digan de mi vida 

Y si tomo casi toda la semana Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda 

¡Cada quien! ¡Cada quien! Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras 

Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia ¡Cada quien! ¡No se enreden, cada quien! 

Si les cala, no más no volteen a ver Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer, ¡cada quien! 

(¡Ay ’apasito! ¡Apriete que nos pelaron, mijo!) (¡Y cada quien haga con su vida lo que quiera!) 

(¿O no, Maluma?) (¡Ay ’apá!) 

(¡Y puro Grupo Firme!) (¡Más firme que nunca!) 

¿Para qué preguntan cuánto gano y cuánto tengo? Nada  

más me quieren andar contando el dinero Cada quien trabaja  

pa no estar pidiendo de lo ajeno Pierden nada más el tiempo cuando me critican 

Quieren verme abajo y a subir más me motivan 

Cada quien se tiene que  poner bien pilas, sin envidia 

Y si tomo casi toda la semana Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda 

¡Cada quien! ¡Cada quien! Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras 

Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia ¡Cada quien! ¡No se enreden, cada quien! 

Si les cala, no más no volteen a ver Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer, ¡cada quien!
