Malamente (Badly)

(Verse: 1)

That broken crystal,
I heard it cracking.
Before it hit the ground,
I knew it would break. (Uh)

It’s blinking,
The light of the stair landing.
A voice from the stairs
Someone crossing the hallway

(Chorus)

Badly (That’s it. Like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (Look)
Badly (ah-ah)

(Take and take) It’s for the mind
Badly
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (No)
Badly (Uh)

(Verse: 2)

The night becomes eerie
The moon and the stars are out
That gypsy told me (What?)
Better not go out and see it (No)

I dream that I am walking
On a bridge that wounds
The more I want to cross it (Go)
The more it quivers and wobbles

(Chorus)

Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (Look)
Badly (ah-ah)

(Take and take) It’s for the mind (That’s it)
Badly
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (No)
Badly (Uh)

(Bridge)

Even if the night is not beautiful, Oh God!
I am going out, to the street
In the hand, the earrings
Shining on my skin, the corals

May they protect me, save me
Enlighten me, guard me
And from now on
I won’t waste one more minute thinking about you

(Chorus)

Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (Look)
Badly (ah-ah)
(Take and take)
It’s for the mind (That’s it. Say it!)
Badly (Tra tra!)
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad (Let’s leave)
Badly (Ah ah ah)
(Take and take. Let’s leave)
It’s for the mind (That’s it. Say it!)
Badly
Bad, very, very, very, very, very bad
Badly
