Tigre Den: Yoli Mayor – “Malamente” (Rosalía Cover)

We’re excited to release the very first video in our Tigre Sessions series! We were blessed to have the incredibly powerful Miami-native, Yoli Mayor in our Tigre Den offices for this sultry, r&b-inspired take on Rosalía‘s game-changing hit: “Malamente”. Alongside her, and working together for the very first time, were Adolfo Herrera on Cajon, Jose Manuel Alconchel on Guitar, and Natalia Novela on Palmas. A big thank you to Samantha Capobianco our musical collaborator, and our sound and video teams for bringing it to life!

English Translation:

[Verse 1]
That little broken glass, I felt how it creaked (Hm)
Before it fell to the ground, I already knew it was breaking (Ooh)
The landing light is blinking
(Hm) A voice on the stairs, someone crossing the hall

[Chorus]
(Hmm)
Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Look)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma)
It’s for the spirit (That’s it, ¡illo!)
(Ay) Badly
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (No)
Badly (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
The night has become strange, the stars and the moon have come out (Eh)
That gypsy told me that (What?), better not to go out to see her (No)
I dream that I’m walking through a bridge and that the pavement (Look, look, look, look)
The more I want to cross it (Go), the more it moves and staggers

[Chorus]
(Hmm)
Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Look)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma, let’s go)
It’s for the spirit (That’s it, ¡illo!)
(Ay) Badly
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (No)
Badly

[Verse 3]
Although it isn’t beautiful, the night, God (Hm-hm)
I’m going to go out, in my little hand, the hoops sparkling on my skin
The chorals (Hmph) protect me, save me (Hmph)
Enlighten me, guard me (Hmph) and forward (Hm)
I won’t waste a minute on thinking about you again

[Chorus]
Badly (That’s it, like this)
Badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Look)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma)
It’s for the spirit (That’s it, ¡illo!)
(Ay) Badly
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Illo)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma)
It’s for the spirit (Illo)
Ah, badly (Tra-tra!)
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad… (Let’s go)
Badly (Ahh-ah-ah-ah, hm)
(Toma que toma, let’s go)
It’s for the spirit (That’s it, ¡illo!)
(Ay) Badly
Bad, so bad, so bad, so bad, so bad…
Badly

Tigre Sessions is a film series of simply-produced jam sessions between emerging artists and established ones, captured in the most natural and raw environment possible.

By removing the fireworks of traditional music production, the goal of the soul sessions is to expose the soul and the flow of musicianship, bringing it back to the artistry of its roots and the passion of the artist.
