Song: Muchacho Malo, by Olga Tañón Posted by on Jan 19, 2012 in Spanish Culture, Uncategorized, Videos

I just love Olga Tañón! This Puerto Rican merengue singer is a burst of energy on the stage and she’s called La Mujer de Fuego (The Woman of Fire). Olga has won several music awards and her music always talks about love and relationships.

Let’s check out her live performance of Muchacho Malo (Bad Boy) with the video below and the translated lyrics. I chose this song because it’s fast-paced and it’s a chance for you to practice your singing Spanish. Enjoy!

Muchacho, muchacho, muchacho malo (Bad, bad, bad boy)
Has hecho de mí lo que tú has querido (You’ve done what you wanted with me)
Tan solo con verte me descontrolo (Just by looking at you I lose control)
Con un solo roce yo me derrito (I melt with a single touch)

Quisiera poder llamar tu atención (I wish you would notice me)
Y pasas de largo como si nada (But you walk by just like that)
Y yo aquí esperando que te des cuenta (And I’m here waiting for you to notice)
Estoy locamente de ti enamorada (I’m crazy in love with you)

Muchacho malo (Bad boy)
¿Por qué tu me tratas así (Why do you treat me like this?)
Si sabes que todo mi amor (If you know that I have saved)
Yo lo he guardado para ti (All my love for you)

Muchacho malo (Bad boy)
Ya déjate de presumir (Stop showing off)
Y entrégame tu corazón (And give me your heart)
Que quiero ser dueña de ti (Because I want to own you)

¿Qué pasa contigo muchacho malo? (What’s happening to you, bad boy?)
Me estás acabando con tu desprecio (You’re killing me with your disdain)
Tú sabes que muero por tu cariño (You know I die for your affection)
Y yo sé que tú te aprovechas de eso (And I know that you take advantage of that)

Quisiera poder llamar tu atención (I wish you would notice me)
Y pasas de largo como si nada (But you walk by just like that)
Y yo aquí esperando que te des cuenta (And I’m here waiting for you to notice)
Estoy locamente de ti enamorada (I’m crazy in love with you)

Muchacho malo (Bad boy)
Porque tu me tratas así (Why do you treat me like this?)
Si sabes que todo mi amor (If you know that I have saved)
Yo lo he guardado para ti (All my love for you)

Muchacho malo (Bad boy)
Ya déjate de presumir (Stop showing off)
Y entrégame tu corazón (And give me your heart)
Que quiero ser dueña de ti (Because I want to own you)

Muchacho malo, ¿qué pasa? (Bad boy, what’s happening?)
Me matas con tu desprecio (You’re killing me with your disdain)
Yo vuelta loca por ti (I’m crazy for you)
Y tú, dándote puesto (And you, snubbing me)

Quiero tus besos (I want your kisses)
Y tus abrazos (And your hugs)
No me dejes sola (Don’t leave me alone)
Ven a mi lado (Come to my side)
