Corazón Maricón

El Cuarteto de Nos, a band known for their satirical and often provocative lyrics, dives into themes of vulnerability and emotional pain in their song 'Corazón Maricón'. The song narrates the story of a heart that falls deeply in love, only to be met with betrayal and disappointment. The repeated phrase 'Ay, mi corazón tan maricón' suggests a heart that is foolishly sentimental, using 'maricón' in a self-deprecating manner to express how deeply and naively the heart feels.

The lyrics unfold a tale of unrequited love and deception. The protagonist's heart is described as being overly emotional and easily swayed by the affections of another, whose intentions are not as pure. The use of vivid imagery, such as 'chupando con ella mucha ginebra' and 'su rostro de piedra', paints a picture of a relationship where one side is significantly more invested than the other. This imbalance ultimately leads to heartbreak, as the protagonist realizes that the object of their affection 'no tenía corazón'—a metaphorical way of saying she was heartless.

The chorus, with its ironic call for a 'marcapaso' or pacemaker, underscores the heart's need for protection and healing after such an emotional ordeal. This song, with its blend of humor and melancholy, captures the universal experience of loving someone who does not love you back, and the painful journey towards self-protection and recovery that often follows.
