La Malquerida
Jesús Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se duerme en tu piel, entre corazones te pierdes y duele
No tiene piedad el viento en tu contra
No puedes volar con tus alas rotas
Que triste es ser buena y que no valga la pena
Soledad te seguirá sin descansar
Tienes la maldición de no encontrar a quien amar
Y sentirás que el dolor no sanará
Sobre tu espalda irá el peso por querer soñar
Y pagas con tu vida, por ser la malquerida
No tiene piedad el viento en tu contra
No puedes volar con tus alas rotas
Que triste es ser buena y que no valga la pena
Soledad te seguirá sin descansar
Tienes la maldición de no encontrar a quien amar
Llevas escondidas abiertas tus heridas
Y sentirás que el dolor no sanará
Sobre tu espalda irá el peso por querer soñar
Y pagas con tu vida, por ser la malquerida
Y sentirás que el dolor no sanará
Sobre tu espalda irá el peso por querer soñar
Y pagas con tu vida, por ser la malquerida
In "La Malquerida", Jesus Navarro sings about the struggles of love and the pain of rejection. The song captures a feeling of hopelessness and despair when one's love is not reciprocated. The opening lines, "No puedes querer, la suerte se esconde / Se duerme en tu piel, entre corazones te pierdes y duele" (You can't love, luck hides / It sleeps in your skin, you lose yourself among hearts and it hurts), suggest that love and luck are elusive and difficult to find. The pain of rejection is likened to having broken wings that prevent one from flying. The repeated refrain of "Que triste es ser buena y que no valga la pena" (How sad it is to be good and not be worth it) is a lamentation of how being a good person is not always enough to win someone's love.
The verses continue to underscore the sadness and loneliness that comes with unrequited love. The lines "Soledad te seguirá sin descansar / Tienes la maldición de no encontrar a quien amar" (Solitude will follow you without rest / You have the curse of not finding someone to love) paint a picture of a person who is plagued by loneliness and the inability to find genuine love. The person carries their wounds and scars hidden within, but the pain will not heal. The song ends with a statement that the weight of wanting to dream and be loved will be carried by the singer's back and will ultimately cost them everything.
