El Hijo de Hernández

I am who I am, I don't need identification
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
Because I am what I am and not who you want

You confuse me and I don't know what you mean
I already explained to you, but it looks like you don't understand
And that mistake is a big mistake
I'm not Hernandez's son!

What do I care what that paper says?
I have nothing to do with him
And I'm not going to lie even if he asks me to
I'm not Hernandez's son!

You think I'm cynical
What is my fault for the casuistry?
If my last name is identical
It is logical says the statistics

Don't follow me
Or ask me
To be complicit in your lie

I am who I am, I don't need identification
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
Because I am what I am and not who you want

My personality is not going to change
Because someone tells me how I have to act
But I don't allow anyone to boss me around
I'm not Hernandez's son!

I will not be another because it suits you
And although my statement condemns me
I know who I am, wherever I go
I'm not Hernandez's son!

I don't understand anything about genetics
But I'm not that sclerotic yet
To believe that I am the replica
In my basic family tree

Don't follow me
Or ask me
To be complicit in your lie

I am who I am, I don't need identification
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
Because I am what I am and not who you want

I know where I come from, I know where I'm going
That's why I know where I am, I'm not ashamed of what I am
I know my place and where I belong
What does not belong to me and what I deserve

I am blood of my blood and I am my customs
I am my habits and codes and my uncertainties
I am my decisions and my choices
I am my actions, alone and in the crowd

I am my beliefs and my shortcomings
I am my matter and my essence
I am my presence and my absence, my consciousness and my appearance
I am my origin

I am my heritage and my experience
I am my past and my validity
And that experience is the reference
That unites me with others and differentiates me

That's why don't ask me to retrace my path
I will continue screaming even if I get out of control
And let my voice bounce against the Andes
That I am not Hernández's son

No, I am not Hernandez's son
No, I am not Hernandez's son
No, I am not Hernandez's son
No, I am not Hernandez's son

I am who I am, I don't need identification
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
Because I am what I am and not who you want
