GUERRERAS (part. Maria José Quintanilla)

At fifteen, I snuck out to the party
With my friends, no permission, no cash
At twenty, I gave my whole body
To the one I thought was my true love

At twenty-five, I’m feeling more grown
I hit the beach to pour myself some drinks
At thirty, I feel like the prettiest one
Everyone wants a bite of this little apple

I’m a powerful, fabulous woman
I’ve got strength tattooed on my skin
I’m like wine, whiskey, and rum
With the years, I just get better

I want to dance, have fun, and drink
With my girls until the break of dawn
I deserve it for being a warrior
Today I shout and declare I’m happy my whole life long

At thirty-five, big decisions await
I’ll be strong and face my fears
By forty, we’re done with betrayals
We’ll buy the drinks and break some hearts

Fifty, sixty, seventy
They’re just numbers to keep track
We gotta enjoy, cry, laugh, and dance
Dare to do it all and never stop dreaming

I’m a powerful, fabulous woman
I’ve got strength tattooed on my skin
I’m like wine, whiskey, and rum
With the years, I just get better

I want to dance, have fun, and drink
With my girls until the break of dawn
I deserve it for being a warrior
Today I shout and declare I’m happy my whole life long
