Below, I translated the lyrics of the song CAMALEÓN by Belén Aguilera from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

You ask me if I know what pain is

And even though I've got plenty of reasons, I tell you that I don't

I ask if you'll feel like I do

If everything is too much, just tell me

Chorus 1

That's why there are secrets that I keep in my skeleton

I wish that I could tell you that

I'm a chameleon

I change like neon lights

I camouflage what I feel with rum

I'm soft and sharp, that's my gift

You're gonna lose your mind

I'm a chameleon

Verse 2

In the end I turned into a reptile

Thick skin to stop your missile

I'd rather that you think I'm hostile

Before weak, be Cruella de Vil

The hundred-and-one-thousand jacket

Chorus 2

That's why there are secrets that I keep in my skeleton

I wish that I could tell you that

Girl, there's one thing that I was thinking about

What color is a chameleon?

Because, sure, if it changes color, right?

What color is it? Have you ever thought about it?

It's kinda like a traffic light, isn't it?

Like, it's every color

Like La Veneno, a traffic light, babe

So it's an LGBT icon! It really is

It's one of ours! How lovely, new spirit animal

Let's see, little break

This is already too long, the show has to start

Bah, come on, man

Come on inside. Yeah, sure, it smelled for you

Come on

I'm a chameleon

I change like neon lights

I camouflage what I feel with rum

I'm soft and sharp, that's my gift

You're gonna lose your mind

I'm a chameleon

I shed skin, I've got a B side

Like Mystique from the X-Men

I'll never know if I'm really okay or it's fiction

Like on television

Like in your favorite action movie

Like in any script

Lights, camera, and action

I'm a chameleon

Chameleon

I change like neon lights

I camouflage what I feel with rum

I'm soft and sharp, that's my gift

You're gonna lose your mind

I'm a chameleon

Chameleon

I'm a chameleon

Chameleon

I'm a chameleon

Chameleon

I'm a chameleon

Chameleon

SONG MEANING

Belén Aguilera paints herself as a chameleon to explain how she survives the whirlwind of emotions and judgments around her. When someone asks if she knows pain, she answers “no,” even though she has plenty of reasons to say yes. Instead of showing it, she changes color like glowing neon, hides her secrets “in her skeleton,” and masks her feelings with a splash of rum. Her thick “reptile” skin deflects incoming missiles, and she would rather seem hostile than fragile, like a pop-culture Cruella de Vil.

Yet the track is far from dark; it is a witty celebration of fluid identity, self-protection, and LGBTQ+ pride. An improvised chat in the middle wonders what color a chameleon really is, then cheers it on as a queer icon. Aguilera calls herself Mystique from the X-Men, starring in her own movie where no one knows if the smile is real or scripted. Beneath the playful talk and club-ready beat, the message is clear: we all shape-shift to cope, and that ever-changing palette is a strength, not a flaw.
