C. Tangana's song "Mala Mujer" is a lament about a woman who has left him with emotional and physical scars. He expresses his pain and longing for her, and his attempts to forget her, but finds himself unable to do so. He calls her a thief for taking away his pride, money, and peace of mind. He is left feeling desperate and broken, and dances in a drunken, desperate state in an attempt to forget her.

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

Verse 1

I have promised myself thousands of times

Thousands of times

That I would erase this trace forget your pain

I am a dog lost in the street

Lost in the street

Feeling that every breeze draws to me your smell

Prechorus 1

Only because you've left

I want to lose my senses

And I dance drunk, lost, desperate

Only because you've left

I want to lose my senses

And I dance drunk, lost, desperate

Chorus 2

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

And now I'm desperate, desperate

I dance, drunk, lost, desperate

And now I'm desperate, desperate

I dance, drunk, lost, desperate

Bad woman, bad woman, bad woman

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

Verse 3

The first time I saw all your body moving

A Dellafuente song was playing

A stroke of sweat soaked my forehead

Her nails were shining, people were watching her

Hair down to her butt, and her chin up

She did it slowly to the beat of the song

I was in the booth preparing the show

But I wanted to come down and rip off the crop

When I saw her dancing

She was like lost within herself

When I saw her dancing

I should've ran far away from there

But I saw her dancing

And I couldn't contain myself

And now I'm crying

And she's dancing, bad woman

What you are is a thief

That has led me to ruin

You have taken my heart

My pride, my money, my peace, my life

What you are is a thief

That has led me to ruin

You have taken my heart

My pride, my money, my peace, my life

Chorus 3

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails

Bad woman, bad woman

They have left scars all over my body

Your gel nails
