Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo, malo, malo…
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña…
El día es gris cuando tu estas
Y el sol vuelve a salir cuando te vas
Y la penita de mi corazón
Yo me la tengo que tragar con el fogón
Mi carita de niña linda
Se ha ido envejeciendo en el silencio
Cada vez que me dices puta
Se hace tu cerebro más pequeño
Una vez mas no por favor
Que estoy cansada y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez mas no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Una vez mas no por favor
Que estoy cansada y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez mas no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Voy a volverme como el fuego
Voy a quemar tus puños de acero
Y del morao de mis mejillas
Sacare el valor pa cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo, malo, malo…
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña…
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
The song "Malo" by Alex Gaudino and featuring vocals by Crystal Waters, is a cautionary tale about a man who is mistreating and disrespecting women. The lyrics repeat the words "malo" and "tonto" which mean "bad" and "stupid" in Spanish, respectively, to address the man's negative behavior. The song warns the man that he shouldn't hurt those who he loves and not to think he is superior to women.
The lyrics also describe the emotional toll that the man's actions are having on the woman singing. She describes how her face has aged due to the stress of the situation, and how the man calling her names like "puta" (slut) only reduces his own intelligence. The song includes a plea for the man to stop and not to wake the sleeping children with his shouting.
Overall, "Malo" is a powerful message about treating others with respect and the consequences that come from mistreating those you love. The use of Spanish in the lyrics also adds an extra layer of identity and representation for Spanish-speaking listeners.
