I don't need identification
_____
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
_____
Because I'm what I am, and not who you want
_____
You confuse me and I don't know what you intend
_____
I already explained to you but it seems that you don't understand
_____
And that mistake is a big error
_____
I am not the son of Hernández
_____
What do I care what that paper says
_____
I've got nothing to do with him
_____
And I'm not going to lie even if they demand it
_____
I am not the son of Hernández
_____
You think I'm cynical
_____
What fault do I have in the casuistry
If my last name is identical
_____
It's logical, the statistics say
_____
Nor ask me to be an accomplice in your lie
_____
I don't need identification
_____
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
_____
Because I'm what I am, and not who you want
My personality won't change
_____
Because someone says that I have to act
_____
But I don't allow anyone to boss me around
_____
I am not the son of Hernández
_____
I'm not going to be someone else because it suits you
_____
Not even if my statement condemns me
_____
I know who I am, wherever I wander
_____
I am not the son of Hernández
_____
I understand nothing about genetics
_____
But I'm not that sclerotic yet
_____
As to believe that I'm the replica
_____
Of my basic family tree
_____
Nor ask me to be an accomplice in your lie
I don't need identification
_____
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
_____
Because I'm 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, what I am doesn't shame me
_____
I know which is my place and where I belong
_____
What doesn't correspond to me and what I deserve
_____
I'm blood of my blood and I'm my habit
_____
I'm my habits and codes and my uncertainties
_____
I'm my decisions and my choices
_____
I'm my actions, alone and in the crowd
_____
I'm my beliefs and my lacks
_____
I'm my matter and my essence
_____
I'm my presence and my absence, my conscience
_____
And my appearance, I'm my origin
_____
I'm my inheritance and my experience
_____
I'm my past and my validity
_____
And that experience is the reference
_____
That unites me with others and differentiates me
_____
That's why I don't ask that my path go backward
_____
I'll keep shouting even if I break away
_____
And may my voice bounce off the Andes
_____
That I'm not the son of Hernández
_____
I am not the son of Hernández
_____
No, I'm not the son of Hernández
_____
No, I'm not the son of Hernández
_____
No, I'm not the son of Hernández
I don't need identification
_____
I know well where I come from and where I'm going
_____
Because I'm what I am and not who you want
