Gitana [English translation]

I never wore a mask

I'm passing through

this fleeting world

I don't intend to stop

Tell me, who walks

when they can fly?

My destiny is to travel

My memories

are a wake in the sea

What I have, I give

I say what I think

Take me the way I am

And it goes lightly,

My gypsy heart

It only knows how to beat

to the contrary

Don't try to tie me down

Nor dominate me

I am the one who chooses

how to make mistakes

Take me,

Because if I got here yesterday

I could leave tomorrow

Because I am a gypsy

Because I am a gypsy

I'm still an apprentice

in every kiss

And with every scar

Something I could understand

From how often I stumble

I already know how to fall

And it goes lightly,

My gypsy heart

It only knows how to beat

to the contrary

Don't try to tie me down

Nor dominate me

I am the one who chooses

how to make mistakes

Take me,

Because if I got here yesterday

I could leave tomorrow

Because I am a gypsy

Come and we'll see...

That life is a pleasure

It's normal to be afraid

Of what you don't know

Take me and we'll go

Life is a pleasure

It's normal to fear

What you don't know

I want to see you fly

I want to see you fly

And it goes lightly,

My gypsy heart

It only knows how to beat

to the contrary

Don't try to tie me down

Nor dominate me

I am the one who chooses

how to make mistakes

Take me,

Because if I got here yesterday

I could leave tomorrow

Because I am a gypsy
