DIDDY:
Is there something you should tell me, big buddy?
Are you aware of the glare from the sun shining off of your hair?

DK:
I don't know what you mean, it's just a healthy sheen
I must admit I feel a little strange
But I've never felt better, I'm stronger than ever
Can't you see nothing's changed?

DIDDY:
I don't know how to tell you, metal buddy
But you look just like a solar-powered turbo-charged washing machine

DK:
I'm not light on my feet, now I clank and I squeak
But my voice is the same when I speak
My hand looks like aluminum foil
Does this mean that I need a tune-up and a change of oil?

I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a metal head
I'm a metal head, a metal head, a metal head, a METAL HEAD!

Singer	French lyrics	Translation
Diddy	Toi, tu ne me cacherais pas quelque chose ? Tu as le teint tout rouillé, j'aimerais en connaître la cause	Aren't you hiding something from me? You have a rusty complexion, I would like to know why
DK	Tu n'as pas à t'en faire, j'ai une santé de fer C'est vrai que je sens un léger changement Je suis plus fort qu'avant, fort comme un éléphant Pourquoi je suis si différent ?	You don't have to worry, I have an iron constitution It is true that I feel a slight change I'm stronger than before, as strong as an elephant Why am I so different?
Diddy	Je ne sais pas comment te l'expliquer Mais tu ressembles à une machine à laver dont le tambour est usé	I don't know how to explain it to you But you look like a washing machine with a worn-out drum
DK	Je ne tiens plus sur mes pieds, je ne fais que grincer Y a que la voix qui n'ait pas changé On dirait que j'ai des mains métalliques J'ai peut-être besoin de passer au contrôle technique	I can't stand on my feet anymore, all I do is creak Only my voice hasn't changed Looks like I have metallic hands Maybe I need to go to the technical inspection
	Je suis en métal, tout en métal, tout en métal, tout en métal Je suis en métal, tout en métal, tout en métal, tout en métal !	I'm made of metal, all metal, all metal, all metal I'm made of metal, all metal, all metal, all metal!

Singer	Latin American Spanish lyrics	Translation
Diddy	Si vas a hablar, hazlo ya, mi hermano En tu cabeza hay un resplandor mucho muy extraño	If you're going to speak, do it now, my brother There is a very strange glow in your head
DK	No sé ni qué decir, pero me siento muy bien así Lo admito, hoy me siento un poco raro Pero nunca me sentí más fuerte que hoy Y el mismo de siempre soy	I don't know what to say, but I feel really good this way I admit, today I feel a little strange But I've never felt stronger than I do today And I'm still the same person I've always been
Diddy	No sé cómo puedo decirte lo que pienso Más la verdad, debes sentirte extraño y también un poco tieso	I don't know how to tell you what I think But honestly, you must feel strange and also a little stiff.
DK	Siento que al caminar hago un ruido infernal Más mi voz yo la siento igual Escucho que las manos me rechinan Necesito que alguien me de una aceitadita	I feel like I make a hellish noise when I walk But my voice sounds the same to me I hear my hands creaking I need someone to oil me up
	Yo soy un cabeza de metal, cabeza de metal es lo que soy Yo soy un cabeza de metal, cabeza de metal es lo que soy	I am a metal head, a metal head is what I am I am a metal head, a metal head is what I am

Singer	European Spanish lyrics	Translation
Diddy	¿Hay algo que quieras decirme, amigo? ¿Sabes que el sol juega y hace brillar tú pelo?	Is there something you want to tell me, my friend? Do you know that the sun plays and makes your hair shine?
DK	No soy diferente hoy, brillante siempre estoy Pero admito que hay algo raro en mí No te asustes si soy más fuerte que antes seré el mismo para tí	I'm no different today, I'm always brilliant But I admit there's something strange about me Don't be scared if I'm stronger than before I'll be the same for you
Diddy	No sé cómo decírtelo, amigo mío Eres una lavadora turbo con energía solar	I don't know how to tell you this, my friend You're a solar-powered turbo washing machine
DK	Ahora no soy ágil, del cuello rechino Pero tengo la misma voz Mis manos de papel aluminio son Necesito una puesta a punto como un viejo camión	Now I'm not agile, my neck creaks But I have the same voice My hands are made of aluminum foil I need a tune-up like an old truck
	Mi cabeza de metal es, de metal es, de metal es Mi cabeza de metal es, de metal es, sí, ¡Es de metal!	My head is made of metal, it is made of metal, it is made of metal My head is made of metal, it is made of metal, yes, it is made of metal!
