Perrito Malvado (part. Marita & L-gante)

The song 'Perrito Malvado' by Damas Gratis, featuring Marita & L-gante, is a vibrant narrative that uses the metaphor of a mischievous dog to depict a night of revelry and freedom. The lyrics tell the story of a 'little dog' that leaves home when the moon is shining because there is a 'female dog in heat' that wants some company. This is a playful way to describe someone who goes out at night looking for romantic or sexual encounters. The 'little dog' is known in the neighborhood for his escapades, and it's clear that he won't be returning home until after his adventures.

The chorus, 'Mi perrito malvado, ay, no seas así,' which translates to 'My naughty little dog, oh, don't be like that,' is a plea for the dog to stay, but it's also an acknowledgment of the dog's nature to seek freedom and excitement. The song continues with a celebration of the cumbia rhythm, a popular dance music genre in Latin America, and the lifestyle associated with it. The lyrics mention dancing in the mud, women shaking their bodies to the music, and the singer's pride in being a 'cumbiero,' someone who enjoys cumbia music and culture.

The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a party anthem, while the lyrics celebrate the joy of letting loose and enjoying life's pleasures. The metaphor of the 'perrito malvado' serves as a symbol for the human desire to break free from constraints and indulge in the night's temptations. Damas Gratis, known for their cumbia villera style, infuses the track with a sense of fun and irreverence that is characteristic of their music.
