Friend, what's wrong, are you crying?
It's probably because of the disdain of women
There is no more deadly blow for men
May the tears and contempt of those beings
Friend, I'm going to give you some good advice
If you want to enjoy its pleasures
Get a gun if you want
Or buy a dagger if you prefer
And become a murderer of women
kill them
With an overdose of tenderness
Suffocate them with kisses and sweetness
Infect them with all your madness
kill them
With flowers, with songs don't fail them
There is no woman in this world
That she can resist the details
Wake them up with a serenade
Without it being a special day, bring her flowers
It doesn't matter if she is the worst of the ungrateful
That you are not a saint without errors
Friend, I'm going to give you some good advice
If you want to enjoy its pleasures
Get yourself a gun if you want
Or buy a dagger if you prefer
And become a murderer of women
kill them
With an overdose of tenderness
Suffocate them with kisses and sweetness
Infect them with all your madness
kill them
With flowers with songs don't fail them
There is no woman in this world
That she can resist the details

MátalasKill them

Mátalas literally translates to "kill them" (referring to females). This word immediately grabs attention due to its shocking and provocative nature, especially in the context of a romantic song.

However, the song quickly reveals a clever twist: the artist isn't advocating for violence. Instead, he uses "mátalas" metaphorically, urging listeners to "kill them with a overdose of tenderness," "asphyxiate them with kisses and sweetness," and "infect them with all your craziness." This unexpected double meaning makes the word incredibly memorable and enticing, as it subverts expectations and encourages a deeper look into the lyrics.

Have you ever been heartbroken and just wanted to... well, let's just say, deal with the pain? Alejandro Fernández's "Mátalas" is a playful take on that feeling, but with a hilarious twist! The song starts with a friend crying over women's indifference, and our singer offers some wild advice. He suggests getting a gun or a dagger and becoming a "killer of women" – but not in the way you might think!

Instead of actual violence, the song tells you to "Mátalas" [Kill them] with an "overdose of tenderness" and "asphyxiate them with kisses and sweetness." It's all about overwhelming them with affection! He advises, "Contágialas de todas tus locuras" [Infect them with all your craziness] and to never fail them with "flowers, with songs." The message is clear: women can't resist thoughtful gestures. So, next time you're feeling down about love, remember Alejandro's advice: kill 'em with kindness (and a whole lot of romance)!
