Mala Mujer
Los Retorcidos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caminando y dando vueltas
Como nunca, como nunca
Como nunca mas lo haré
Y ahora que más puedo decir
O tal vez solo pueda preguntar
Hasta donde fuiste mía
Hasta donde fuiste mía
Y TODO EMPIEZA
Y TODO TERMINA
Y TODO CAE
Y SE VUELVE A LEVANTAR
Ahora no sé si esto es mentira
Es mentira o es verdad
Solo sé que en la cantina
Por tú culpa, por tú culpa
Beberé hasta no dar más
Mis manos de color azul
Cansado de tanto golpear
Cansado de golpear tu puerta
Y que siempre haya una vieja
que me dices que no estas
Y ahora que sé que estoy borracho
Y no sé en verdad que quiero
Tengo un arma en el bolsillo
Tengo un arma en el bolsillo
Y matarte creo que quiero
In Los Retorcidos's song "Mala Mujer," the singer speaks of his obsession with a woman who has left him. He has walked and wandered aimlessly and seems to have lost his sense of direction now that she is not in his life. He questions the extent to which she was his, and wonders if anything was true between them at all. The stanza "Y TODO EMPIEZA / Y TODO TERMINA / Y TODO CAE / Y SE VUELVE A LEVANTAR" translates to "Everything starts / and everything ends / and everything falls / and rises again," indicating the cyclical nature of life, love, and loss.
As the song progresses, we see the singer drinking excessively in a bar, blaming the woman for his misery. He is so drunk that his hands turn blue from pounding on her door, only to be greeted by an old woman who tells him that she's not there. He reveals that he has a gun in his pocket, and that he even feels like killing her. Ultimately, the song speaks to the destructive nature of obsession and the toll it can take on a person's mental health.
