Perdón Lyrics in English by Yami Safdie
Modales translates to "manners" or "etiquette". It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in song lyrics, especially in a pop context.
In this song, Yami Safdie uses it as a kind of outro or tag, almost like a subtle, ironic commentary after a song about breaking up and prioritizing oneself. It adds a layer of unexpected sophistication and a touch of wit, making the listener pause and consider its inclusion.
Have you ever had to make a really tough decision for yourself, even when you knew it would hurt someone you care about? That's exactly what Yami Safdie's song "Perdón" is all about. It's a heartfelt apology, but not one of regret. Instead, it's an apology for choosing herself, for finally putting her own needs first.
She sings, "Perdón, sé que te está matando / El saber que me voy y no puedes cambiarlo" [Sorry, I know it's killing you / To know that I'm leaving and you can't change it]. It's a really honest look at the pain of a breakup, not just for the person being left, but for the person doing the leaving too. Yami admits, "a mí también me duele" [it hurts me too], but she's firm in her decision. She's tired of always putting the other person first, saying, "En lugar de cuidarte voy a cuidarme a mí" [Instead of taking care of you, I'm going to take care of myself]. It's a powerful message about self-love and setting boundaries, even when it's incredibly difficult.
