Tú eres distinta
You are unique
A todas las de barrio
Compared to all the neighborhood girls
Para mí
For me
La princesa de la población
The princess of the community
Eres hermosa
You are beautiful
Como una perla
Like a pearl
No debes pasar hambre
You shouldn't go hungry
No debes de sufrir
You shouldn't suffer
Y mientras tejo tu trenza
And while I braid your hair
Imagino cuando crezcas
I imagine when you grow up
Verás cómo vas a brotar
You'll see how you're gonna bloom
Serás la flor más bella
You'll be the most beautiful flower
Cuando te miro, mi reina
When I look at you, my queen
Cuando te escucho cantar
When I hear you sing
Yo sé, una estrella serás
I know, you'll be a star
La que más va a brillar
The one that will shine the brightest
Tú no vas a caer
You will not fall
Como esta vieja
Like this old one
Que dejo de cantar
Who stopped singing
Por un amor
For a love
Debes ser libre
You must be free
Salirte de esta mierda
Get out of this mess
No haga caso en lo que digan
Don't pay attention to what they say
No quieren que florezca
They don't want you to bloom
Y mientras tejo tu trenza
And while I weave your braid
Imagino cuando crezcas
I imagine when you grow up
Verás cómo vas a brotar
You'll see how you'll blossom
Serás la flor más bella
You'll be the most beautiful flower
Cuando te miro, mi reina
When I look at you, my queen
Cuando te escucho cantar
When I hear you sing
Yo sé, una estrella serás
I know, you will be a star
La que más va a brillar
The one that will shine the most
Yo sé, una estrella serás
I know, you will be a star
La que más va a brillar
The one that will shine the most
Yo sé, una estrella serás
I know, you will be a star
La que más va a brillar
The one that will shine the most
