Y a mucha honra, Maria la del Barrio soy.
La que de escuincla* quedó resola*
Y pa’* cambiar su suerte
De su barrio querido se fué
Pa’ poder comer.
And to much honor, Maria of the Barrio am I.
The one that as a little runt was left all alone
And to change her luck
From her dear barrio went away
So she could eat.

Sigue esa voz que escuchas,
Que viene desde adentro.
No es normal sentir
Todo lo que yo siento.
Follow that voice that you hear,
That comes from deep inside you.
It is not normal to feel
Everything that I feel.

La gente me señala,
Me apunta con el dedo,
Susurra a mis espaldas,
Y a mí me importa un bledo.
People signal towards me,
They point at me with their fingers,
They whisper behind my back,
And I don’t give a damn.
