Eso que tu me pides es imposible 
Yo se que no he nacido para rey ni para príncipe 
Tu quieres admirarme, te has confundido 
No sirvo para estar en el altar ni ser tu ídolo 

Recuerda cuantas veces te lo dije cuantas veces te advertí 
Soy así, así nací y así me moriré 
Con todos mis defectos ya lo se 
Nunca te engañe nunca te mentí nunca lo negue 
Soy así y se muy bien que nunca cambiare 
Y acepto mi destino tal cual es 
Nunca te engañe nunca te mentí nunca lo negue 

Eso que tu me pides es imposible 
Nunca seré tu ángel de belén menos tu títere 
Quieres que quite el suelo 
Yo no podre jamas 
Siempre estaré en el aire como las águilas 

Recuerda cuantas veces te lo dije cuantas veces te advertí 
Soy así, así nací y así me moriré 
Con todos mis defectos ya lo se 
Nunca te engañe nunca te mentí nunca lo negue 
Soy así y se muy bien que nunca cambiare 
Y acepto mi destino tal cual es 
Nunca te engañe nunca te mentí nunca lo negue
