Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Selectivo by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
El dinero a mí no me cambió
Money didn't change me
Soy el mismo que antes era
I'm the same as I was before
Pero hoy tengo la manera y no es mi culpa
But today I have the means and it's not my fault
Si a algunos les molestó
If it bothered some people
Es muy cierto que me les perdí
It's very true that I lost them
Ya no me hallan disponible
They can no longer find me available
Los que marcan para pedirme y se entretienen
Those who call to ask me and entertain themselves
Hablando muy mal de mí
Speaking very badly of me
Porque no son requeridos en mi lista de invitados
Because they are not required on my guest list
Porque me hice selectivo y mis amigos son contados
Because I became selective and my friends are few
Me gusta que me acompañen los que estuvieron conmigo
I like to be accompanied by those who were with me
Que la fe no me perdieron cuando andaba bien jodido
Who didn't lose faith in me when I was really messed up
A los que andan cacareando que lo mío es pura suerte
To those who are squawking that it's all luck for me
Ustedes sigan hablando, mientras yo me hago más fuerte
You keep talking, while I become stronger
Los amigos en mi casa no ocupan invitación
Friends in my house don't need an invitation
Y los otros nomás pasan, no sé qué se les perdió
And the others just pass by, I don't know what they lost
Lo que es, es, nomás pa que chequen el dato
What is, is, just so you check the facts
Ánimo, viejo
Cheer up, old man
Porque no son requeridos en mi lista de invitados
Because they are not required on my guest list
Porque me hice selectivo y mis amigos son contados
Because I became selective and my friends are few
Me gusta que me acompañen los que estuvieron conmigo
I like to be accompanied by those who were with me
Que la fe no me perdieron cuando andaba bien jodido
Who didn't lose faith in me when I was really messed up
A los que andan cacareando que lo mío es pura suerte
To those who are squawking that it's all luck for me
Ustedes sigan hablando, mientras yo me hago más fuerte
You keep talking, while I become stronger
Los amigos en mi casa no ocupan invitación
Friends in my house don't need an invitation
Y los otros nomás pasan, no sé qué se les perdió
And the others just pass by, I don't know what they lost
