MALAMENTE (Cap.1: Augurio) Lyrics in English ROSALÍA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song MALAMENTE (Cap.1: Augurio) by ROSALÍA from Spanish to English.
Ese cristalito roto
That tiny shattered glass
Yo sentí como crujía
I felt it crack
Antes de caerse al suelo
Before it hit the floor
Ya sabía que se rompía
I already knew it was breaking
Está parpadeando
It's blinking
La luz del descansillo
The landing light
Una voz en la escalera
A voice on the staircase
Alguien cruzando el pasillo
Someone crossing the hall
Malamente
Badly
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
Malamente
Badly
Está en la mente
It's in my head
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
Malamente
Badly
Se ha puesto la noche rara
The night's turned weird
Han salido lunas y estrellas
Moons and stars came out
Me lo dijo esa gitana
That gypsy told me so
Mejor no salir a verla
Better not step out to see her
Sueño que estoy andando
I dream I'm walking
Por un puente y que la acera
On a bridge and the pavement
Cuanto más quiero cruzarlo
The more I try to cross it
Más se mueve y tambalea
The more it shakes and sways
Malamente
Badly
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
Malamente
Badly
Está en la mente
It's in my head
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
Malamente
Badly
Aunque no esté bonita
Even if it's not pretty
La noche undivé
The night, undivé
Voy a salir pa' la calle
I'm heading out to the street
En la manita los aros brillando, en mi piel los corales
Rings shining in my hand, corals on my skin
Me protejan, me salven
May they shield me, save me
Me iluminen, me guarden
Light me up, keep me safe
Y por delante
And up ahead
No voy a perder ni un minuto en volver a pensarte
I won't waste a minute thinking 'bout you again
Malamente
Badly
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad
Malamente
Badly
Está en la mente
It's in my head
Malamente
Badly
Mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal, muy mal
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad

SONG MEANING

MALAMENTE (Cap.1: Augurio) opens with the sound of shattered glass and flickering hallway lights, instantly setting an atmosphere of bad omens. Throughout the song ROSALÍA repeats the word “malamente” (“badly / this will end badly”), echoing every superstition whispering in her ear: a fortune-telling gypsy warns her, a trembling bridge haunts her dreams, and the night itself feels “rara.” The lyrics paint a cinematic scene of pre-monition where every crack, creak, and shadow seems to predict trouble.

Yet ROSALÍA refuses to hide indoors. She steps into the night anyway, jewels flashing on her hand, coral charms against her skin, determined to face fate with style and swagger. The track becomes a bold mix of flamenco soul and urban beats, turning superstition into empowerment. “Malamente” is both a caution sign and a rallying cry: yes, danger may be waiting, but courage, rhythm, and self-belief shine even brighter.
