I've been not resting for a while
I eat little, it's hard to smile
I've jumped through hoops
And done things that don't make me happy

My inbox is full
Of requests, of a thousand favors
And absolutely no one
Asks about me

I think about it and light an incense
And lay out the whole arsenal of candles
I stop, breathe, smile, trust myself
Uncork a bottle

If I choose to be my priority
It's not a matter of selfishness
Quality time
Partly dedicated to oneself

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
Those who truly love me will understand
I wasn't born just to please

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
If I want to improve the world
First, I'm going to pamper myself

(No, no)
I've dressed in fashionable clothes
I've made myself look pretty to please myself
I've bought a small bouquet of roses
And nervously asked myself out

My head is full of a thousand reasons
That assure me that the truest love
Is closer than I think

Oh, what nonsense, María, if you stay alone for your whole life
Dressing saints with hundreds of cats
Crying without company

If I choose to be my priority
It's not a matter of selfishness
Quality time
Partly dedicated to oneself

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
Those who truly love me will understand
I wasn't born just to please

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
If I want to improve the world
First, I'm going to pamper myself

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
Those who truly love me will understand
I wasn't born just to please

And if it doesn't come from the heart
I'm going to learn to say no
If I want to improve the world
First, I'm going to pamper, pamper myself
