Todo Lo Que Está Mal Lyrics in English by Paty Cantú
Diabla literally means "devil" in its feminine form. While "devil" might sound intense, in Spanish, it's often used playfully or to describe a mischievous, rebellious, or alluring woman.
In this song, Paty Cantú sings, "Yo soy la diabla con quien bailas en la oscuridad" (I am the devilish woman with whom you dance in the dark). She embraces this persona, suggesting a passionate, perhaps even dangerous, connection that defies conventional expectations of love. It's an intriguing word that hints at a complex and exciting relationship.
Paty Cantú's "Todo Lo Que Está Mal" is all about that irresistible, slightly chaotic kind of love! It's a song for anyone who's ever found themselves drawn to someone who isn't exactly what they thought they wanted, but feels oh-so-right. She sings, "Contigo soy la versión más estúpida de mí" [With you I'm the most stupid version of myself], admitting that this person isn't the "saint" she asked for, but she stayed anyway.
It's a passionate embrace of a relationship that might look a little messy from the outside, but inside, it's pure magic. Paty calls herself "la diabla con quien bailas en la oscuridad" [the devil with whom you dance in the dark], showing that she's all in, even if it's a bit rebellious. The chorus, "Ay, amor, bésame porque me muero / Si es en tus brazos, yo quiero / Que se siente, siente bien todo lo que está mal" [Oh, love, kiss me because I'm dying / If it's in your arms, I want / Everything that's wrong to feel, feel good], perfectly sums up that feeling of loving someone despite (or because of!) their imperfections. It's about finding perfection in the imperfect, and honestly, who hasn't felt that?
