Tengo Un Problema Lyrics in English MC Davo
Persigne comes from the verb persignarse, which means "to cross oneself" or "to make the sign of the cross." It's a word with strong religious connotations, often done as a sign of prayer, protection, or to ward off evil.
In the song, MC Davo uses it in a playful and provocative way: "Vamos a portarnos mal o quieres que me persigne" (Are we going to misbehave or do you want me to cross myself?). This line creates a humorous contrast, suggesting a choice between wild behavior and seeking divine intervention, making it a memorable and intriguing word choice.
Tengo Un Problema is MC Davo’s cheeky confession that desire can overrule common sense. The Mexican rapper paints himself as a man torn between warnings from friends and the irresistible pull of a woman with a wild reputation. Each chorus repeats his “problem”: waiting for her is torture, and he still can’t decide if she’s “mala o buena.” The verses are packed with humor, pop-culture name-drops (Winnie Pooh, Danna Paola, Chapulín Colorado) and playful, even risqué imagery that underline how strongly temptation is winning the battle.
Beneath the bravado, the song explores a classic push-and-pull: head vs. heart, caution vs. impulse. MC Davo admits he recognizes her “type,” yet the thrill of late-night hotel escapades, smoky rooms, and record-breaking passion feels too good to give up. The final message is simple: let the world gossip if it wants; when she calls, he’ll still jump in his Chevy and answer. The track’s upbeat flow and witty Spanish slang make it a fun window into modern Mexican urban culture and the universal struggle of liking someone who might be trouble.
