ME LO MEREZCO Lyrics in English by Omar Valen
Esplendor translates to "splendor" or "radiance". It's a beautiful and somewhat formal word that evokes a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
In "ME LO MEREZCO", the artist uses esplendor to describe a feeling of being vibrant and full of life, singing "Sentirme siempre con esplendor" (To always feel with splendor). It's a less common word in everyday Spanish, making it stand out and adding a poetic touch to the lyrics about deserving the best in life.
Think of "ME LO MEREZCO" as an unapologetic masterclass in speaking what you want into existence. Norway-based artist Omar Valen builds this alternative track out of pure, rhythmic affirmations. Instead of beating around the bush, he lists every single upgrade he expects from reality. He wants money flowing nonstop, summarized plainly as "Merezco dinero abundante / Un flujo siempre constante" ("I deserve abundant money / A constantly flowing stream"), alongside a dream house and a gorgeous car ("Moverme en un auto hermoso" ["Moving around in a beautiful car"]). He even asks for pure luck in business, insisting on feeling like "la vida me prefiere" ("life prefers me"). It is bold, totally direct, and catchy as hell.
Beyond the material wish list, the lyrics push into personal wellness and spiritual confidence. Omar demands daily health, strong friendships, and a partner he calls a "cómplice muy especial" ("a very special accomplice"), using cómplice not in a criminal sense, but as the Spanish idiom for a loyal partner-in-crime who shares your secrets. Every verse loops back to the central hook: "Yo merezco brillar / Yo merezco lo mejor" ("I deserve to shine / I deserve the best"), backed by his faith that "conmigo está Dios" ("God is with me"). Singing along will leave you with an easy burst of optimism and a very solid grasp of how to demand good things using the verb merecer (to deserve).
