Shakira - Gitana = Gypsy

I decided to translate this song because it's one of my favorites at the time. I know she made a Gypsy version of this song in English but the lyrics are totally different. I feel like the message is lost, so here it is for you all.

Never wore a mask
I go by steps through this brief world
I don’t pretend to stop
Tell me who is walking?
When can we fly?

My destiny is to move
My memories
Are a trails on the ocean
What I have, I give
I say what I think
Take me as I am

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against itself
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

Make the most of it
That if I came yesterday
I can leave tomorrow
I’m a Gypsy
I’m a Gypsy

I’m still an apprentice
In every kiss
And with every scar

Something I can understand
Of many times tripping
Now I know how to fall

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against itself
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

Make the most of it
That if I came yesterday
I can leave tomorrow
I’m a Gypsy

Let’s go and see
That life is a joy
Is normal to be scare
Of that which you don’t know

Take me and lets go
That life is a joy
Is normal to be scare
Of that which you don’t know
I want to see you fly
I want to see you fly

And it goes with ease
My gypsy heart
That only understands of beating
Against it
Don’t try to tie me up
Nor dominate me
I’m the one who chooses
How to make mistakes

If I came yesterday
Make the most of it that I’m leaving tomorrow
I’m a gypsy
