It's been a while since I can't rest,
since at least it's hard to smile.
I fell into line and did things that don't make me happy.
My inbox is full of petitions, of a thousand favours,
and not one person asks after me.
I think about it and light the incense
and I bring out the candle arsenal.
I stop, breath, smile, I trust, uncork a bottle.
If I choose being my priority, it's not about selfishness,
the quality time comes devoted to oneself.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
Who loves me well will understand it,
I wasn't born just to please.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
If I want to make the world better,
I'm gonna indulge myself first.
I dressed with fashionable clothes,
I dressed up to like myself.
I bought a bouquet of roses
and I nervously asked myself out.
My head is full of a thousand reasons
which assure me that the truest love
is closer than I think.
What a silly thing, María,1 if you remain lonely forever
on the shelf, with hundreds of cats, crying without company.
If I choose being my priority, it's not about selfishness,
the quality time comes devoted to oneself.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
Who loves me well will understand it,
I wasn't born just to please.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
If I want to make the world better,
I'm gonna indulge myself first.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
Who loves me well will understand it,
I wasn't born just to please.
And if it doesn't come out of my heart,
I'm gonna learn to say no.
If I want to make the world better,
I'm gonna indulge myself first,
indulge myself.
