Maldita Soledad
Belanova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De tantos extranjeros
Pasajeros
Y voy hablándoles de mí
Sintiendo sin sentir
Ya no puedo
Y no te burlarás de mí
Maldita soledad
Destrozas mis poemas
Con sueños de papel
Que rompes sin querer
Maldita soledad
Mil noches sin estrellas
Me sabes a dolor
No tienes compasión
Voy guardando una ilusión
Flotando entre mil versos
Como un sueño
Y así, al ritmo de un reloj
Bailando entre el dolor
Sin tus besos
Solamente me prometes
Y no te burlarás de mí
Maldita soledad
Destrozas mis poemas
Con sueños de papel
Que rompes sin querer
Maldita soledad
Mil noches sin estrellas
Me sabes a dolor
No tienes compasión
Maldita soledad
Sé que nadie escuchará
Que nadie entenderá
Porque mis cicatrices lloran
Hoy que ya no queda más
No lo puedo evitar
Solo quiero gritar
Maldita soledad
Destrozas mis poemas
Con sueños de papel
Que rompes sin querer
Maldita soledad
Mil noches sin estrellas
Me sabes a dolor
No tienes compasión
Maldita soledad
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Maldita soledad
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Maldita soledad
The lyrics of "Maldita Soledad" by Belanova depict the agony of loneliness and the despair that follows it. The singer talks about how she travels the world, meeting and conversing with people she doesn't know, but she still can't escape the feeling of solitude. She talks about how the promise of love and companionship is broken and how it fills her heart with nothing but pain. She speaks about having a dream, a hope, and a desire to find that ideal love, but being unable to do so due to her suffering. The chorus repeatedly rebukes the loneliness responsible for her pain, calling it "cursed solitude," as she bemoans its severe repercussions to her poetry, emotions, and overall outlook on life.
The song is a cry out for help from the depths of the heart of the singer who feels trapped and helpless in a world dominated by loneliness. As she struggles to find words that could describe her innermost feelings accurately, she resents the solitude that has bogged her down and caused her so much sorrow. Additionally, she acknowledges that no one will understand the pain she is going through because it's invisible to those who haven't lived it.
