Maldecir literally translates to 'to speak evil' (from mal, 'bad/evil' + decir, 'to say') and means 'to curse'. It's an intensely emotional word that captures the raw feeling of this famous heartbreak anthem.
In the song, Bad Bunny expresses his bitterness by singing, "Siempre voy a maldecir el día en que naciste" (I will always curse the day you were born). This powerful line showcases the depth of his pain and anger, making maldecir a truly unforgettable word from the track.
If you are fed up with romance, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny wrote this track for you. He kicks things off by slamming the door on romance entirely: "No quiero que más nadie me hable de amor" ("I don't want anyone else talking to me about love"). He is exhausted from the romantic games ("trucos") and wants a literal refund on the relationship. He asks for his wasted time back, along with every single kiss: "Si pudiera, te pidiera que devuelvas todo los besos que te di" ("If I could, I'd ask you to give back all the kisses I gave you"). It is dramatic, petty, and completely honest about how sour a breakup can turn.
Bad Bunny does not hold back on his anger either. He walks solo past bars and drinks, cursing his ex with lines like "Siempre voy a maldecir el día en que naciste" ("I will always curse the day you were born"). He drops the Puerto Rican profanity "cabrón" in "Lo más cabrón es que tú ves todo como un chiste" to call out how messed up it is that his partner treated his pain like a joke. Even standard romantic gifts turn rotten in his memory, where chocolates and flowers warp into nightmares, and any hope of a rainbow after the storm arrives completely drained of color ("pero sin colores").
