Home / Lyrics translation / Danna Paola / Mala Fama

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mala Fama by Danna Paola from Spanish to English.

Fame

Verse 1

They say that I have a bad rep

That I fall in love at night

And it passes in the morning

Blame

I'm sorry, I'm not to blame

Verse 1

That they don't give me enough

I am demanding and the boys get scared

Chorus 1

The first thing is that he's single

Brains would be number two

That he's hot comes third

And plus that he has good humor

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Chorus 1

That if I left with Maluma, no

They say that Yatra and Ozuna, no

I sleep alone in my bed

And my bad fame doesn't worry me

Verse 2

I do what I want

If I feel like it

Verse 2

I'm not looking for a Romeo

For the weekend

Verse 2

That sells me the stars

Without taking me to heaven

Verse 2

False promises

The wind takes them away

Verse 2

It flies and flies and got lost

If there's a culprit that's not me

If I say no it's because I don't want to

But to the right one I don't put a but

It flies and flies and got lost

If there's a culprit that's not me

If I say no it's because I don't want to

But to the right one

Chorus 2

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Chorus 2

That if I left with Maluma, no

That if Neymar or that Ozuna, no

I sleep alone in my bed

And my bad fame doesn't worry me

Chorus 3

The first thing is that he's single

Brains would be number two

That he's hot comes third

And plus that he has good humor

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Me da la gana — Because I feel like it / Because I want to

Me da la gana is a very common and expressive way to say 'because I feel like it' in Spanish. It's much more emphatic and defiant than simply saying 'porque quiero' (because I want to).

In 'Mala Fama', Danna Paola uses it to assert her independence against the gossip surrounding her. She sings, "Yo hago lo que quiero si me da la gana" (I do what I want if I feel like it), making it a powerful statement of self-confidence and a fantastic phrase to add to your vocabulary.

In "Mala Fama," Danna Paola hits back at all the gossip about her love life. She kicks things off by saying people think she has a "mala fama" (bad reputation) because she falls in love at night and is over it by morning. But she's not sorry! She says it's not her fault, explaining, "Yo soy exigente y los nenes se asustan" (I'm demanding and the boys get scared). She has high standards, and she's not afraid to list them out.

She's looking for a guy who is single, smart, good-looking, and has a good sense of humor. It's a pretty straightforward list! Danna Paola even calls out specific rumors, name-dropping famous singers like Maluma, Yatra, and Ozuna, and flatly denying any romance. She makes it clear she's not looking for a "Romeo de fin de semana" (weekend Romeo) who makes empty promises. Instead, she says, "Yo duermo sola en mi cama / Y no me preocupa mi mala Fama" (I sleep alone in my bed / And my bad reputation doesn't worry me). The song is a fun, confident anthem about knowing what you want and not caring what anyone else thinks.
