Maldito Corazón
Raúl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se marcha de puntillas con el alba
Otra vez, como una postdata
Un rastro de carmín sobre la almohada
Yo que intento escapar
De esta tortura, de sus curvas
Y su forma de jugar
Pero, aunque quiero, no aprendo
¡Tú mírame! (eh, ah)
Mírame, maldito corazón
Vivo colgado de sus besos
Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión
Y de la cárcel de su cuerpo
Ella es de esas mujeres
Que nunca se desnudan hasta el alma
Ella es piel de madrugada
Es frío y soledad cada mañana
Yo que intento escapar
De esta tortura, de sus curvas
Y su forma de jugar
Yo que juré: "nunca más"
Pero, aunque quiero, no aprendo
¡Tú mírame! (eh, ah)
Mírame, maldito corazón (¡mírame!)
Vivo colgado de sus besos
Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión (¡líbrame!)
Y de la cárcel de su cuerpo
Mírame, maldito corazón
Vivo colgado de sus besos
Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión
Y de la cárcel de su cuerpo
(¡Mírame, eh, ah!)
Mírame, maldito corazón
Vivo colgado de sus besos
Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión
Y de la cárcel de su cuerpo
(Mírame, maldito corazón)
(Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión)
Mírame, maldito corazón
Vivo colgado de sus besos
Líbrame de esta absurda obsesión
Y de la cárcel de su cuerpo
The lyrics to Raúl's song "Maldito Corazón" are about a man who is struggling to move on from a woman who continually leaves him without explanation. He compares this woman to a postscript, leaving behind only a trace of her presence with a hint of lipstick on his pillow. Despite his attempts to escape her grasp and his promise to himself to never let her back in, he finds himself unable to resist her and is consumed by the obsession he has for her. He pleads with his "maldito corazón" (cursed heart) to release him from this absurd love that has him trapped in the prison of her body.
The song is a powerful depiction of the struggle to break free from a toxic relationship. The singer is aware that he is being taken advantage of, but he is unable to stop himself from falling for her again and again. He recognizes her manipulative behavior and his own pattern of falling for it, but is unable to break free due to the hold she has over him.
Overall, the song is a poignant and emotional portrayal of the pain and frustration that comes with loving someone who is not good for you, and the difficulty of ending such a toxic relationship.
