Intro

One more question

And what would you say to the people who didn't believe

That you were going to get here?

Or: That you were going to make it this far?

Well, look

I like them to see how happy I am without them

Verse 1

Me, I'm the devil of your story

The one who knew that to fly

The one who knew that (in order) to fly

I would have to find my own wings

And I

I was keeping that pain inside my soul

The one that with all your mistreatment

She always stayed as if nothing happened

And I allowed your actions

They hurt me like bullets

The one who was crying herself to sleep

And woke up to continue the nightmare

Chorus 1

Well, that now passed, and that's not me anymore

If that makes me bad, then a devil is what I am

You're never going to be able to cut my wings

And that's what kills you

Well, that now passed, and that's not me anymore

Finally I'm happy, my days aren't gray anymore

Finally I realized that I deserve much more

And that kills you

Outro

I'm with someone who makes me happy

He loves me as I am, he makes me laugh

Outro

I'll never give you what you want from me

SONG MEANING

“Te Mata” is Kali Uchis’s fiery Bolero of rebirth. Sung with a velvet-sharp delivery, the Colombian star turns past heartbreak into a victory lap. She looks straight at the doubters, the former lover, and even her own previous fears, proudly declaring that their disbelief only fuels her shine. Once labeled “la diabla” in someone else’s story, she now wears the title like glittering armor, celebrating the moment she realized she could grow her own wings.

The lyrics move from pain to power. We hear her recount sleepless nights and bullet-like insults, then watch her step out of that “pesadilla” into bright, self-chosen joy. Surrounded by a new love who cherishes her, Kali sings that true revenge is simple: living happily, laughing loudly, and never giving her ex the validation he craves. The song’s message? Self-worth is lethal to anyone who tried to clip your wings, and the sight of you flying free is exactly what “te mata.”
