It's almost eight, I jump into the shower
No, I can't be late
Silk stockings, tight skirt
What makeup shall I use?
Seven perfumes, nails painted
Something that I can conquer
A bit of cleavage, something that he notices
That won't let him work
More daring, less princess
Being elegant, I'll please
More determined, less discreet
Irresistible, more than yesterday
I go all out
I must find an elixir
Dear boss, you've achieved it
I don't know if I can take any more
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
Ask her to copy 'I love you' a hundred thousand times
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
I think she's about to go crazy
The door opens, I'm open-mouthed
I feel faint, a certain something
'Come to the office,' in a macho tone
I arm myself with pencil and paper
For a note, for a date
For a compliment, what must I do?
Flannel skin, cinnamon eyes
I'll die of indifference
That marvelous smile of an irresistible seducer
And that executive appeal
Has torn my heart in two
I fall into your arms, give me a hug
Because there's no better antidote
Call me 'slave', call me 'babe'
And don't ignore me, please
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
Ask her to copy 'I love you' a hundred thousand times
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
I think she's about to go crazy
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
Ask her to copy 'I love you' a hundred thousand times
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
I think she's about to go crazy
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
Ask her to copy 'I love you' a hundred thousand times
Notice, notice your secretary
Oh, sir, what pain, poor secretary
I think she's about to go crazy

SONG MEANING

Pobre Secretaria paints a lively, almost theatrical portrait of a young office worker who is madly in love with her charismatic boss. From the moment her alarm rings, she turns her morning routine into a high-stakes mission: silk stockings, seven spritzes of perfume, the perfect splash of makeup, and just the right amount of daring neckline. All of these details highlight her desperate yet humorous attempt to grab her jefe’s attention and make him forget about work — even if it sends her sanity spiraling.

Behind the catchy rhythm and playful lyrics, the song explores themes of unrequited crushes, workplace flirtation, and the stereotypes of the overworked, under-acknowledged secretary. Daniela Romo blends flirtation with frustration, showing how the heroine’s infatuation borders on obsession as she dreams of hearing “yo te amo” from her boss’s lips. It is a cheeky, tongue-in-cheek anthem that invites listeners to laugh, feel empathy, and maybe even cringe at the extremes we sometimes reach for love and validation.
