Song Meaning of “Corazón Malvado” by Raphy Leavitt y La Selecta
“Corazón Malvado” by Raphy Leavitt y La Selecta speaks of a love that that has broken beyond repair. The pain of a broken heart is expressed through the lyrics, as the narrator feels betrayed and heartbroken – they fear that they will never love the same way again. The chorus speaks of the narrator’s wish for the lost love to come back, but the realization is that it will never happen.
The song is a lament of a love lost; the narrator is hurting deeply, and the song conveys the struggle of dealing with a broken heart. In the beginning, they feel angry and resentful towards the person who left them, but come to terms with the fact that they have no control over the situation. They then come to accept this, and the song ends with a sense of peaceful resolution.
It also speaks more broadly to the idea of not taking love for granted – that even when a relationship ends, there is still a deep connection and something of value that can be taken away from it. Love should be cherished and appreciated while it lasts, because the pain of it being taken away is more than one can bear.
