Casi Nada

Mala Rodríguez's song 'Casi Nada' is a powerful anthem of resilience and indifference to societal judgment. The repeated refrain, 'Lo que digan de nosotro' / A mí poco o na' me importa,' translates to 'What they say about us / I care little or nothing,' setting the tone for the entire song. This line reflects a defiant attitude towards external opinions and societal norms, emphasizing a sense of liberation from the constraints of others' expectations. The phrase 'Ya estoy muy lejo'' ('I am already far away') suggests a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, where the artist has distanced herself from negativity and judgment.

The lyrics delve into themes of struggle and perseverance. Mala Rodríguez speaks of not blaming destiny for one's troubles and instead taking responsibility for one's actions ('No culpe' al destino de toa' tus mierda' / Haz lo que toca y da lo que tenga''). This message encourages self-reliance and accountability, highlighting the importance of facing life's challenges head-on. The imagery of 'consulting the pillow' and being 'born from the fairies' evokes a sense of introspection and magical realism, adding depth to the narrative of overcoming adversity.

The song also touches on the harsh realities of life, such as navigating through difficult environments and dealing with loss ('Ese coche se quemó y ya nadie pudo / Conseguir abrir la puerta ni salir, se quedó ardiendo'). Despite these hardships, the artist maintains a stance of indifference, almost as a coping mechanism ('Pero ahora no me importa, no me importa casi nada'). This indifference is not about apathy but rather a protective shield against the pain and chaos of the world. The repetition of 'Casi nada' ('Almost nothing') at the end of the song reinforces this theme, suggesting that in the grand scheme of things, many of life's troubles are insignificant.
