[English]

...

Ever since I was very little,

Before I even knew how to walk,

I was the life of the party,

It was so normal to me,

I discovered a theater prima donna,

Looking down on everyone else in the dressing room,

But the supposed diva,

Because of the echo of a life,

That didn't belong to her,

Became bewitched,

A simple diva,

Like an ordinary mortal,

A diva doesn't step,

On anyone to shine,

Her voice makes her great,

What else matters?

If she's free singing,

Like a fish in the sea,

A diva is brave,

Powerful,

Her life is a garden full of thorns and roses,

She rises again dancing,

With more strength than a hurricane,

She's the mother who wakes up early,

She's the artist without a poster,

With money or without fortune,

They are divas too,

Fame isn't your greatness,

Equality is my flag,

And music is my only dream,

A simple diva,

Like an ordinary mortal,

A diva doesn't step,

On anyone to shine,

Her voice makes her great,

What else matters?

If she's free singing,

Like a fish in the sea,

A diva is brave,

Powerful,

Her life is a garden full of thorns and roses,

She rises again dancing,

With more strength than a hurricane,

You'll see,

(Diva, diva, diva…)

We're all divas, you and I!

If she's free singing,

Like a fish in the sea,

A diva is brave,

Powerful,

Her life is a garden full of thorns and roses,

She rises again dancing,

With more strength than a hurricane,

You'll see,

That diva is me!

[Spanish]

Desde que era bien pequeña

Antes de saber andar

Fui del mundo la rumbera

Para mí era tan normal

Descubrí a una suprema del teatro

Despreciando a los demás del camerino

Pero la supuesta diva

Por el eco de una vida

Que no le pertenecía

Se embrujó

Una diva sencilla

Como un simple mortal

Una diva no pisa

A nadie para brillar

Su voz le hace grande

¿Qué más da?

Si ella es libre cantando

Como un pez en el mar

Una diva es valiente

Poderosa

Su vida es un jardín lleno de espinas y rosas

Resurge bailando

Con más fuerza que un huracán

Es la madre que madruga

Es la artista sin cartel

Con dinero o sin fortuna

Ellas son divas también

No es la fama tu grandeza

La igualdad es mi bandera

Y la música es mi única ilusión

Una diva sencilla

Como un simple mortal

Una diva no pisa

A nadie para brillar

Su voz le hace grande

¿Qué más da?

Si ella es libre cantando

Como un pez en el mar

Una diva es valiente

Poderosa

Su vida es un jardín lleno de espinas y rosas

Resurge bailando

Con más fuerza que un huracán

Ya verán

(Diva, diva, diva…)

¡Somos divas tú y yo!

Si ella es libre cantando

Como un pez en el mar

Una diva es valiente

Poderosa

Su vida es un jardín lleno de espinas y rosas

Resurge bailando

Con más fuerza que un huracán

Ya verán

¡Esa divа ѕoy yo!
