Below, I translated the lyrics of the song GATO MALO by KAROL G from Spanish to English.

I'll go, I'll go wherever you go

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I'll go, I'll go wherever you go

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I don't want to cry again

I don't plan to humiliate myself again

What I didn't want to accept

At last today I could understand it

That everything has its end

What we had didn't go very well

Tell me where I might have failed

If I gave you all of me

And seeing you, I couldn't take it anymore

Because I'm always at your feet

And what else am I going to beg you for?

If it's clear that you don't love me

You were the one who came for me

I didn't invite you to love me

Look at me, tell me

That there's another girl you're hooking up with

I gave you my time and my life

For real, and I never failed you

Everyone warned me about you

Too bad I didn't listen to them

Mom, you can't be crying over that brat

The one who burned his fingers for being greedy

Put yourself first, you can have whoever you want

Listen to me, babe, let's do it like we know

If that tiger wants to fight

Tell him that you have claws to battle

You're a goddess, a glamorous chick

He messes up and wants to fix things

For good-good or for bad-bad, everything has its end

How could you give that bad guy a chance?

He makes excuses, he abuses your trust

Hey, don't get it twisted, tigress

Hey, you're not gonna cry over that man

He won't hurt a friend of mine

Does he actually brag about that wrongdoing?

Careful, boy, take that craving and go rebel somewhere else

And now who pulls the trigger?

Say something or at least just shut up

Why pretend?

There's nothing else to decide

The letters that I wrote one day

That today you're not going to read anymore

I burned them pleading for you

Goodbye, and may things go well for you

That everything has its end

And every beginning too

Time will put in its place

The one who didn't know how to love you

O-O-Ovy On The Drums

SONG MEANING

Karol G’s “Gato Malo” is a fiery break-up anthem where the Colombian superstar decides she will no longer chase someone who treats her love like a toy. Over pulsating beats and playful slang, she declares that she has cried her last tear, handed back her devotion, and finally understood that every romance has an ending. The “bad cat” in the title is the unfaithful partner who tempted her, abused her trust, and now must face the consequences. Karol G flips the pain into power by reminding herself (and every listener) that self-respect is worth more than empty apologies.

The song mixes heartbreak with girl-gang confidence. Friends jump in to hype her up, telling her to strut forward, show her claws, and never beg for love that is not returned. Instead of dwelling on betrayal, she burns old letters, says a firm “adiós,” and trusts that time will expose anyone who fails to value real affection. “Gato Malo” is catchy proof that walking away from a toxic relationship is not defeat but the first step toward a fresh, empowered beginning.
