Mala Gente

In 'Mala Gente,' Pole. paints a vivid picture of a night out in the city, filled with the intoxicating mix of cheap liquor, expensive perfumes, and the unpredictable adventures that follow. The song begins with the protagonist finding themselves in a blurry, chaotic club scene, where an impromptu plan leads them to extend their night far beyond their initial intentions. This spontaneous decision results in a series of misadventures, including an encounter with the police and a morning spent wandering the streets, still under the influence of the night's escapades.

The chorus of the song, with its repeated insistence that 'we are not bad people,' serves as a defense against the judgment they might face from authority figures and society at large. It highlights a desire to continue the revelry, to explore the possibilities of the day, and to find solace in the camaraderie of friends. This sentiment is further emphasized by the colorful descriptions of the people they encounter—princesses without heels, thieves with good hearts—suggesting that everyone, regardless of their flaws, has a story and a sense of goodness within them.

The song also touches on the protagonist's internal struggles and the disapproval they face from their parents. The mother’s concern about their tendency to get into trouble and the father’s confusion about why such nights are enjoyable reflect a generational gap and a search for understanding. Despite these familial tensions, the protagonist finds joy and a sense of belonging in these nights out, even if they can't fully explain why. 'Mala Gente' is a celebration of youthful exuberance, the complexity of human nature, and the search for connection in a world that often misunderstands us.
