Malas Decisiones Lyrics in English by Christian Nodal, Ovi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Malas Decisiones by Christian Nodal from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Sin ti tenerlo todo, es como tener nada
Without you, having it all is like having nothing
La vida que ahora tengo no es lo que yo esperaba
The life that I have now isn't what I expected
Y lo que me pone más triste
And what makes me sadder
Es que de toda esta mierda tú me advertiste
Is that you warned me about all this sh*t
Y ahora vivo vaciando botellas
And now I live emptying bottles
Porque no tengo otra opción
Because I don't have another choice
Que llenar este vacío
Than to fill this emptiness
De fiestas y tentación
With parties and temptation
Yo no entiendo de razones
I don't understand reasons
Por eso siempre tomo malas decisiones
That's why I always make bad decisions
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Toda la noche alucino contigo
All night I hallucinate about you
Por eso ando siempre bien amanecido
That's why I'm always up at dawn
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Y así seguiré, denme ya por perdido
And I'll keep it up, just count me lost already
O denme un remedio que aún no haya oído
Or give me a remedy that I still haven't heard
Mientras no vuelves
While you don't come back
Seguiré mezclando las pastillas con alcohol
I'll keep mixing pills with alcohol
Así ya no dueles
That way you don't hurt anymore
Le he metido a muchas para borrarte
I've taken many to erase you
Pero esa mierda no resuelve
But that sh*t doesn't solve it
Lo malo se devuelve
The bad comes back
Y ¿de qué me sirven los verdes?
And what good are the greens to me?
Si no puedo comprar verte
If I can't buy seeing you
Y la cuenta está llena y el cora' vacío
And the account is full and the heart empty
Cien mil en cadenas y aun así no brillo
A hundred grand in chains and still I don't shine
Por dentro me quema y por fuera sonrío
Inside it burns me and outside I smile
Y como maná, te lloré todo un río, yeah
And like Maná, I cried you a whole river, yeah
Ahora las noches son intensas
Now the nights are intense
Te fuiste y todo cambió
You left and everything changed
La que no cambia es mi cabeza
The one that doesn't change is my head
Sigues estando aunque no quiera yo
You're still there even if I don't want to
Sin querer todavía te persigo
Without meaning to I still chase you
Y por eso fumando aquí sigo
And that's why I keep smoking here
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Toda la noche alucino contigo
All night I hallucinate about you
Por eso ando siempre bien amanecido
That's why I'm always up at dawn
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Y así seguiré, denme ya por perdido
And I'll keep it up, just count me lost already
O denme un remedio que aún no haya oído
Or give me a remedy that I still haven't heard
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Toda la noche alucino contigo
All night I hallucinate about you
Por eso ando siempre bien amanecido
That's why I'm always up at dawn
Para no pensar en ti, de todo me he metido
To not think about you, I've taken all kinds of stuff
Y así seguiré, denme ya por perdido
And I'll keep it up, just count me lost already
O denme un remedio que aún no haya oído
Or give me a remedy that I still haven't heard

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Christian Nodal joins forces with Cuban artist Ovi to turn heartbreak into a wild, late-night confessional. Malas Decisiones swaps Nodal’s traditional mariachi roots for a trap-corridos vibe, but the emotions stay just as raw: the narrator has everything money can buy — flashy chains, packed parties, endless bottles — yet feels poorer than ever since their partner walked out.
The song spins a vivid spiral of bad choices made to numb the pain. Mixing pills with alcohol, chasing dawn after dawn, and hallucinating conversations with the ex all serve one goal: stop thinking about you. Each verse admits that none of these escapes work; the bank account is full, the heart is empty, and regret hits harder than the hangover. It is a catchy, bittersweet anthem about trying to drown memories in excess and discovering that the void only grows deeper when love is lost.
