Mírame Y No Me Toques

Para embadurnarte con crema hidratante
Luego el maquillaje casi natural
Que le da a tu rostro luminosidad
No se te olvide todos los martes
Limpiarte la cara con crema exfollante
Lunes y jueves toca mascarilla
De la que te quita diez años de encima
Mírame y no me toques
Tendré que ir al baño a darme un retoque
Ponle a tu vida un par de pastillas
De sacarina, azúcar ni hablar porque
Está prohibida y luego
Sonríes sin fruncir el ceño
No sea que se note el paso del tiempo
Mírame y no me toques
Mírame
Mírame y no me toques
Haz ejercicio con Cindy Crawford
Que te pone a tono sin ir al gimnasio
El santo remedio de la silicona
Tú eliges los labios que están más de moda
Y siempre alerta con esos kilos
Que se te acumulan en cualquier descuido
Bífidus activos y jamón de york
Y una cervecita pero sin alcohol
Mírame y no me toques
Tendré que ir al baño a darme un retoque
Ponle a tu vida un par de pastillas
De sacarina, azúcar ni hablar porque
Está prohibida y luego
Sonríes sin fruncir el ceño
No sea que se note el paso del tiempo
Mírame y no me toques
Mírame
Mírame y no me toques
Qué depresión sentarse frente al televisor
Cuanta niña mona de metro noventa
Caben en la pausa del peliculón
Mírame y no me toques
Tendré que ir al baño a darme un retoque
Ponle a tu vida un par de pastillas
De sacarina, azúcar ni hablar porque
Está prohibida y luego
Sonríes sin fruncir el ceño
No sea que se note el paso del tiempo
Mírame y no me toques
Mírame
Mírame y no me toques
Mírame y no me toques
Tendré que ir al baño a darme un retoque
Ponle a tu vida un par de pastillas
De sacarina, azúcar ni hablar porque
Está prohibida y luego
Sonríes sin fruncir el ceño
No sea que se note el paso del tiempo
Mírame y no me toques
Mírame
Mírame y no me toques.
The lyrics of the song "Mírame Y No Me Toques" by Azucar Moreno introduces the pressure and expectations of society for women to always look their best, maintain their youthful appearance, and have a perfect body. The lyrics describe the various methods and products women use to achieve this unrealistic standard, such as moisturizers, makeup, exercise, plastic surgery, and dieting. The song suggests that women are under constant scrutiny and are expected to always look perfect without showing any signs of ageing.
The first verse mentions the extensive beauty routine that is expected of women, including moisturizing, makeup application, and exfoliating. The song touches on the fear of ageing and the pressure to look younger, with the use of anti-ageing products such as masks and creams that make one look ten years younger. The chorus "Mírame y no me toques" which translates to "look at me and don't touch me" implies that while women are expected to look perfect, they don't want to be scrutinized or judged for their appearance.
The second verse describes the intense pressure women face to have the perfect body, with references to exercise, plastic surgery, and dieting. The lyrics mention the pressure to stay slim and avoid sugar, with the line "De sacarina, azúcar ni hablar porque está prohibida" which translates to "no sugar or artificial sweeteners because they are prohibited". The song highlights how the pressure to maintain a perfect body can lead to unhealthy habits and restrictions.
Overall, "Mírame Y No Me Toques" is a powerful commentary on the unrealistic beauty standards that women are expected to uphold, highlighting the pressure girls and women face on a daily basis to meet these standards. The song reminds us that we must celebrate diversity and promote body positivity while acknowledging the damage that societal pressure has had on our self-worth and confidence.
