Feeling bad
Assuming the subject is "I" (depending on the context you will have to judge who the subject is), "kibun warui" means "I feel unwell/ill/sick/indisposed/seedy". It can also be translated as "be out of sorts", "do not feel oneself" or "be poorly".

Depending on the context it can mean anywhere between

I don't feel well, I feel unwell, I feel sick, I feel bad ...
Depending on context (?), 気分が悪い (kibun ga warui) means : "I feel bad, I don't feel well, I feel unwell, I feel undisposed, I feel sick, etc."
I think that originally this espression has all of these meanings mentionned above, but, in order to really understand what you are requesting for, it would be better to give this expression within a more explicit context
Best regards
