Why do I find myself among 
all these competitive types?
لماذا أجد نفسي وسطَ أشخاص يتمتّعون
بروح المنافسة؟
Warum versammeln sich immer nur
lauter Typen, die alles gewinnen wollen.
¿Por qué habrá tanta gente competitiva?
¿Por qué habrá tanta gente competitiva?
Pourquoi j’ai toujours droit
aux types à l’esprit ultra-compétitif ?
Com'è che attiro gente competitiva 
come una calamita col ferro?
Por que eu sempre me vejo
com esse tipo competitivo?
И почему вокруг меня вечно
 вьются такие упорные ребята?
