Malherida literally translates to "badly wounded" or "sorely injured." It's a strong and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of deep hurt.
In the context of the song, the singer uses it to describe her soul or heart as being "malherida" by a toxic love. It conveys a profound sense of emotional damage and vulnerability, making it a powerful and memorable word that stands out from more common expressions of sadness.
Amaral's narrator meets someone and is hit like a target: "Tú me lanzaste hacia el centro de tu diana" (You threw me towards the center of your bullseye). What follows is a bite rather than a kiss — "La mordedura en el cuello me quemaba" (The bite on my neck was burning me) — and the burn becomes a sentence to serve, "Por los siglos de los siglos" (Forever and ever), the phrase Spanish uses to close a prayer.
The chorus gives the change its timescale: "De la noche a la mañana" (Overnight). The verses are the evidence — she comes home in the morning, her friends ask "Pero niña, ¿qué te pasa?" (But girl, what's wrong with you?), and every kiss she gives now carries someone else's name on it: "Llevan tu nombre y tu marca" (Bear your name and your mark). By the end she is not asking to be let go, only covering the ache — "Voy ahogando mi pena" (I'm drowning my sorrow).
