About Mala Gente

"Mala Gente" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes. The song is the third radio single from his second studio album, Un Día Normal. It shows his frustration with his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend who he calls "mala gente" ("evil people" or "evil woman"). She tells him that their romance is now over, and she wants to be friends. He believes her to be a liar, that she cannot be trusted, has played with his emotions and does not want to be friends. That she will come to regret this breakup. His prediction comes true. This track won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Song at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2003, the third year in a row for him to win in this field.

Tu me pides que te deje ahora ahora
Ahora cuando más te necesito
Tu me dices que este amor se fue al olvido ahora
Ahora cuando yo ya no te olvido
Tu me pides que seamos solo amigos amigos
Y a mi­ no me interesa ser tu amigo
Tu me dices que este amor ha sido en vano
Que malo que dices eso, pero que bueno que se acabo

Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mi tu ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tu eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!
Tu me pides que regrese ahora ahora
Y ahora es a mi a quien lo le importas
Tu me pides que seamos más que amigos amigos
Y amigos para que si no hay cariño
Hoy por fin me he dado cuenta de tu engaño
De tu mala calana y tanto mal que me hiciste tu

Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mi tu ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tu eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente
Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!
Mala gente
Te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
Mala gente
Vas a pagarla caro porque a mi tu ya no me interesas
Mala gente
Porque tu eres una mentirosa y una
Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!

Mala gente

Mala gente

Y en el infierno enterita enterita te vas a quemar!
