1. María 'Malú' Lu… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 3 singers named Malú or Malu.
1. María 'Malú' Lucía Sánchez (born 15 March, 1982) is a singer from Madrid, Spain. Malú was discovered at the age of 15 when she was singing at a family party. She began the recording of her first album Aprendiz in January 1998. Malú is the niece of the flamenco singer-songwriter Paco de Lucía.
2. Malu is a pop singer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. There is no accent on the letter 'u', but scrobbles of her songs end up here due to Last.fm's infamous auto-correct. "Sensual vocals, soft synthesizers and danceable bass lines bring you into a summery state of mind (...) one moment in a fantasy, the next on the dance floor." Malu released her first brace of singles and the Rendez-vous EP on Excelsior Recordings in 2023.
3. MALU In her honest universe of pop melodies, soulful tunes and R&B sensations, MALU is singing her way out of her identity crisis, through stories of dreams, heartaches and insecurities. With her Corsican roots, she inherited her grand gestures and in a flirtation between organic elements, attitude and with her heart on her sleeve, she delivers her songs in a balance between contemporariness and nostalgia.
Behind the project is a showdown with her own perfectionism and expectations: ”I have always been busy living up to an idea of who I am supposed to be. Through music I become spontaneous. Here, I can flirt with my identity crisis, set my own boundaries, make fun of my own perfectionistic ego and sing myself to become who I want to be.”
When MALU was five years old, two movers coincidently came by her childhood home, in Denmark, with a piano, they were supposed to get rid of. She was immediately glued to it, and from there the train began rolling. The journey started as a classical pianist and led her to lead singer in a jazz trio, a disco band and a soul orchestra, with concerts around the country and the feeling of belonging on a stage from a very early age.
Hojas Secas
Malú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que aun no teniendo
Siempre ensaya su dolor
Que no se encuentra acompañado
De la fe
Reniega a gritos
Lo que un día pudo ser
Y no se encuentra de nuevo con su yo
Responde y enfréntate
No digas que no ves
No escondas mas lamentos, dime
Dime pobre corazon
Porque no encuentras la salida al exterior
Que no hay barreras que te puedan detener
Porque no dejas ver un nuevo amanecer
Me robas mi respirar y mi soledad
Esta desnuda por creer
Y yo desnuda por querer
Te escribo con cada lagrima
Con cada esquina de mi piel callada
Con cada beso que se te escapaba
Alimentabas mi ciega pasión
Que es lo que he hecho yo
Por creer que me amabas
Y no es incierto que perdí mi alma
Por hojas secas que has guardado
Dentro de tu corazon
Para que esconderte mas
Siempre asume la verdad
Pobre corazon
Sembrando historias
Que no entienden de razón
Manipulando con tu astuta oscuridad
No te das cuenta que eso no te servirá
Me robas mi respirar y mi soledad
Sigue desnuda por querer
Y yo desnuda por creer
Te escribo con cada lagrima
Con cada esquina de mi piel callada
Con cada beso que se te escapaba
Alimentabas mi ciega pasión
Que es lo que he hecho yo
Por creer que me amabas
Y no es incierto que perdí mi alma
Por hojas secas que has guardado
Dentro de tu corazon
Para que esconderte mas
Siempre asume la verdad
Esperando este momento
Siempre ya no quedan argumentos
Ni porqués
Es cuestión de mala sangre que arde
Y se vuelve a tus pies
Es la hora de empezar otra vez
Te escribo con cada lagrima
Con cada esquina de mi piel callada
Con cada beso que se te escapaba
Alimentabas mi ciega pasión
Que es lo que he hecho yo
Por creer que me amabas
Y no es incierto que perdí mi alma
Por hojas secas
Que has guardado dentro de tu corazon
Para que esconderte mas
Siempre asume la verdad
In Malú's song "Hojas Secas" (Dry Leaves), the lyrics paint a picture of a poor, tortured heart that is always in pain, despite not having any obvious reasons to feel that way. The heart is struggling to find faith and feels alone and disconnected from its former self—the version of itself that built great things and accomplished great things. The heart cries out and rejects what could have been, unable to find a way back to its former self. The lyrics ask the heart why it can't find its way out to the outside world and why it can't see that there are no barriers that can stop it. The heart is stealing the singer's breath and leaving her naked and wanting, writing letters to it with every tear and every inch of her silent skin. The heart is still feeding her blind passion.
The singer then wonders what she has done to make the heart believe that it loved her, and how she lost her soul to the dry leaves that the heart kept inside. She implores the heart to stop manipulating her with its cunning darkness and to assume the truth instead. The song ends on a note of hope, with the singer realizing that there are no more arguments or "whys" left, only the need to start again and write with every tear and every inch of her silent skin.
