Malamente
That broken little glass
I felt how it cracked.
Before falling to the ground
I already knew it would break.
The landing light is blinking
A voice on the stairs.
Someone crossing the hall.
Chorus
(Hmm)
Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Look)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma)
It's for the spirit (That’s it, ¡illo!)
(Ay) Badly
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (No)
Badly (Ooh)
The night has become strange, the stars and the moon have come out (Eh)
That gypsy told me that (What?), better not to go out to see her (No)
I dream that I’m walking over a bridge and that the pavement (Look, look, look, look)
The more I want to cross it (Go), the more it moves and staggers
(Chorus)
Although it’s not beautiful, the night, God!
I’m going out
In my little hand the hoops are sparking,
on my skin
The corals protect me, save me
enlighten me, guard me
And from now on
I'm not going to waste a minute thinking about you again
