Vamos A Portarnos Mal

Calle 13's 'Vamos A Portarnos Mal' is a vibrant and rebellious anthem that encourages listeners to break free from societal norms and embrace chaos. The song opens with a call to action, urging people to ignite their engines with nitroglycerin and cure their pains by jumping around, metaphorically suggesting that disorder and rebellion can be therapeutic. The lyrics reference the impending doom of 2012, a nod to the apocalyptic predictions of that year, and suggest that before the world ends, people should indulge in mischief and break the rules.

The song's chorus reinforces this theme of rebellion, celebrating disorder and the breaking of rules. Calle 13 emphasizes that this isn't about mindless rebellion but rather about being undisciplined for a day, challenging the repetitive routines and societal expectations. The lyrics highlight the idea of being misunderstood and having their own set of rules and commandments, rejecting the control imposed by authority figures. This sentiment is further echoed in the lines about psychologists needing treatment, symbolizing a rejection of conventional norms and the desire to live freely and authentically.

Throughout the song, Calle 13 uses vivid and playful imagery to convey their message. They describe being 'bad' like a child with a slingshot or a bride at her bachelorette party, suggesting a sense of innocent yet defiant fun. The lyrics also include humorous and provocative lines, such as making Susan Boyle lose her virginity, to emphasize their unconventional and unpredictable nature. The song ultimately calls for a celebration of anarchy and individuality, encouraging listeners to raise their glasses and toast to the freedom of doing what has never been done before.
