MALA MÍA Lyrics in English by Aleesha, Botlok
Envicié comes from enviciarse, meaning to become hooked or addicted to something. In the song, "Yo me envicié contigo" means “I became addicted to you,” using the language of addiction to describe an irresistible attraction.
Aleesha, an artist from Australia, teams up with Botlok for a playful, secretive song about desire that breaks the rules. The narrator is already seeing one man, but she is attracted to his friend: “Y ya sé que ando con tu amigo” [And I know I’m with your friend]. That forbidden detail makes the attraction feel even stronger. “Me gusta que sea prohibido” [I like that it is forbidden] is the key idea, while “me sabe más rico” [it tastes better to me] uses the language of food to describe the thrill of doing something she should not do.
The song’s world runs on secrecy, flirtation, and private messages. “Mala mía” means “my bad” or “that’s on me,” and here it is a cheeky admission that nobody should discover what is happening between them. “A lo callado” means “keep it quiet,” while “lo hacemos todo en priva’o” means “we do everything in private.” The narrator sends a photo, but keeps the chat archived, so even the messages are hidden. She tells him to control himself because he is getting too excited, then jokes that he has become “guilla’o,” slang for acting obsessed or crazy about her. By the end, both sides admit they want each other’s company, even though the relationship must remain a secret.
