[English]

It's easy to forget how I got here

It's not just about diamonds

We are divas

Even when you sometimes feel alone

A diva always shines

More than a thousand roses in my room

Red bottoms and the Chanel bag

If I wear it, it's not in the collection

And everything looks good on me

Baby, the jet is waiting for me

At night in Buenos Aires, by day in Paris

Straight to the after party

With my girls

Dodging the flashes as we leave

And everything goes well for me

And everything for me

How hard it is to be me

A dreamed diva

Who can blame me?

Egyptian silk on the bed

Heart of glass

An adored goddess

A earthly plan

I live off the looks

Superstar lifestyle

They call me prima donna

I float in a state of grace

Oh, nothing can catch up to me now

I come from another galaxy

And when I enter the club

Everyone starts to sweat

The place melts, yeah

I am everything a diva I thought I would be

I dance like Britney and dress like Cher

Even if I have money, that won't define me

Because before having all that, I already felt this way, hey

Everyone wants to imitate her

Dining at the embassy in a miniskirt

Climbing to the top but without an elevator

Because shining is something you're born with, my love

A dreamed diva

Who can blame me?

Egyptian silk on the bed

Heart of glass

An adored goddess

A earthly plan

I live off the looks

Superstar lifestyle

...

A dreamed diva

Who can blame me?

Egyptian silk on the bed

Heart of glass

An adored goddess

A earthly plan

I live off the looks

Superstar lifestyle

...

[Spanish]

(Es fácil olvidar como llegue hasta acá)

(No se trata solo de diamantes)

(Somos divas)

(Aunque a veces te sientas sola)

(Una diva siempre brilla)

Más de mil rosas en mi habitación

Red bottoms y el bolso Chanel

Si yo lo visto no está en colección

Y todo me queda bien

Baby me espera el jet

De noche en Buenos Aires de día en Paris

Directo al after party

Con mis nenas

Esquivando los flashes al salir

Y todo me sale bien

Y todo me

Que difícil ser yo

Una diva soñada

¿Quién me puede culpar?

Seda egipcia en la cama

Corazón de cristal

Una diosa adorada

Un plano terrenal

Vivo de las miradas

Lifestyle de superstar

Me llaman prima donna

Floto en un estado de gracia

Ay ya nada me alcanza

Vengo de otra galaxia

Y cuando entro en el club

Todos comienzan a sudar

Se derrite el lugar, yeah

Soy todo lo diva que pensaba que iba a ser

Bailo como Britney y visto como Cher

Aunque tenga money eso no me va a definir

Porque antes de tener todo eso ya me sentí así, eyy

Todos quieren imitarla

Cenando en la embajada con una minifalda

Subiéndose a la cima pero sin ascensor

Porque brillando se nace mi amor

Una diva soñada

¿Quién me puede culpar?

Seda egipcia en la cama

Corazón de cristal

Una diosa adorada

Un plano terrenal

Vivo de las miradas

Lifestyle de superstar

Una diva soñada

¿Quién me puede culpar?

Seda egipcia en la cama

Corazón de cristal

Una diosa adorada

Un plano terrenal

Vivo de las miradas

Lifestyle de superstar
