Mala Vida Lyrics

Tu me estas dando mala vida
Yo pronto me voy a escapar
Gitana mia por lo menos date cuenta
Gitana mia por favor
Tu no me dejas ni respirar
Tu me estas dando mala vida
Cada dia se la traga mi corazon
Dime tu porque te trato yo tan bien
Cuando tu me hablas como a on cabron
Gitana mia !
Mi corazoncito esta sufriendo
Gitana mia por for
Sufriendo malnutricion
Tu me estas dando mala vida
Cada dia se la traga mi corazon !

I really like the Gogol Bordello cover.

I second this.

Also, becerro, I'm pretty sure gitana isn't just girl, but gypsy girl.

In english this could be:

You are giving me a bad life I am going to escape soon gitana mia at least realize gitana mia, please you don't let me even breath you are giving me a bad life

everyday my heart swallows her tell me why I treat you so well when you are talking to me like a pig gitana mia mi little heart is suffering gitana mia, please suffering from malnutrition you are giving me a bad life everyday my heart swallows her

I didn't traduce "gitana mia", as it is being used like "my love", refering to a woman. It means "my gypsy woman", literally.

Well, it sounds great in spanish...

Hi, I am Mexican and speak fluid English, The actual meaning of the song would be:

You're making my life become bad Im soon going to escape (literally my gypsy) my girl at least notice that... my girl please, you're not letting me breathe You're giving me a bad life (literally)

Everyday my heart falls for it Tell me why do I treat you so well when you talk to me like a bastard my girl, my heart is on pain my gril please, suffering, malnutrition you're making my life become bad

Amazing song, amazing energy. This song injects more energy into you than any energy drink can do :) "Gitana mia" is almost certainly slang for "Novia mia" or "Girl(friend) of mine". Manu Chao is often using slang in many songs, both solo and with Mano Negra.

This song was this breakthrough song and bombarded them to stars in France and beyond.

Bad Life

Sun

You're giving me a bad life Soon I'm going to escape My gypsy, at least realize My gypsy, please, you don't even let me breathe You're giving me a bad life

Every day my heart gets swallowed Tell me why I treat you so well When you talk to me like a jerk My gypsy, my heart is suffering My gypsy, please, it's suffering from malnutrition You're giving me, you're giving me a bad life

Every day my heart gets swallowed Tell me why I treat you so well When you talk to me like a jerk You're giving me, you're giving me, hey! my heart

Sun

You're giving me a bad life Soon I'm going to escape My gypsy, at least realize My gypsy, please, you don't even let me breathe You're giving me, giving me a bad life

Every day my heart gets swallowed
