La Yegros resides in the pulsing heart of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, but her family hails from the tropical climates found in the rural rain forests of the north, bordering Brazil. She received classical, conservatory training in music and got her break when she played before thousands as part of the De La Guarda experimental theatre.

Confident and vibrant in approach, she’s been championed by MTV Iggy, as well as by Fader Magazine, who hailed La Yegros’ “raw urgency while sounding completely relaxed and conversational”. Listening to her sing, there’s the swagger of a Kelis or even Jamaican dancehall combined with the indomitable homespun wisdom of a vintage soul queen, such as Laura Lee or Angie Stone.

There’s a sass to her singing, at once fresh and urgent yet aged in experience and attitude, that cuts through the male-dominated contemporary cumbia, drawing on both deep folk traditions and cutting edge beats.

Que Me Hizo Mal
La Yegros Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Animalitos
Grandes y chiquitos
Que saltan y saltan
No me dejan dormir
Con sus ruiditos
Altos y bajitos
Son como una banda
Que no paran de tocar

No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche
No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche

No tengo calma
Y mi cuerpo se desarma
Es como una alarma
Que no para sonar

No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche
No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche

Tu amor me hizo mal esta noche

No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche
No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
Esta noche

No se qué me hizo mal esta noche
No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal
No se qué me hizo mal esta noche
No se qué me hizo mal

Tu amor me hizo mal esta noche
Tu amor me hizo mal esta noche

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Que Me Hizo Mal" by La Yegros depict a restless and agitated state of mind caused by external noises and a sense of unease. The song starts off by describing these "animalitos" (little animals) that jump around and make noise, preventing the singer from sleeping. The noises vary in intensity, from loud to soft, creating a constant background soundtrack that resembles a band that never stops playing.

The repetition of "No se qué me hizo mal" (I don't know what did me wrong) conveys a sense of confusion and frustration. The singer is unable to identify the source of their discomfort, their lack of peace and the feeling that their body is falling apart like an alarm that won't stop ringing.

Overall, the song speaks to a state of internal turmoil and a search for understanding the cause of this emotional unrest. It explores the theme of insomnia and the inability to find solace or calmness.
