Dices Lyrics in English by Selena Gomez & The Scene

Consentida translates to "spoiled" or "pampered." It's an interesting word because it describes someone who is given too much of what they want, often leading to a sense of entitlement.

In the song, the lyric "Dices que soy una niña, que me tienen consentida" (You say I'm a child, that they have me spoiled) highlights a common criticism often leveled at young women. Selena Gomez uses this word to push back against being labeled and controlled, asserting her independence and unique identity.

“Dices” is Selena Gomez’s lively Spanish anthem of self-confidence. Throughout the song she answers a critical, controlling partner who is always saying “you’re immature… you talk nonsense… you don’t deserve me.” Instead of shrinking, Selena flips the script: she calls herself a diamond that refuses to stay dull and a woman who will never turn into a stiff “flor de metal.” The catchy na-na-na refrain feels like a carefree hair-flip while she declares, I feel beautiful and authentic.

In short, the lyrics celebrate choosing your own shine over someone else’s vanity. Selena demands love with no conditions and makes it clear that being “imperfect” is exactly what makes her unique. “Dices” is perfect for learners who want vocabulary about self-esteem, standing up to criticism, and expressing personal freedom—all wrapped in an upbeat, dance-friendly pop track.
