Los locos
Café Quijano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vuelven los locos, les veo venir
Vuelven con palos
Para decir que siguen locos

Se fueron lejos porque creían que allá
En el mar sólo los peces se divertían
Las olas saltan, la luna baila, los remos
Cantan, todos a una sin melodías

Los locos riñen, se pegan, se abrazan
Se tiran de los pelos
Se muerden en la lengua

Los locos chillan, se ríen, se mofan
Se ponen tristes, se tumban en el barro
Cuentan los charcos, están muy locos
Ellos lo saben
Que están muy locos, locos, locos

Entre hogueras sin encender se ven
Siluetas de una mujer que está loca
Que grita frases mirando al cielo

Alza los brazos y se arrodilla para volar
Todos se miran porque, quizás
Sobre las nubes la loca vio un ángel gris

Los locos riñen, se pegan, se abrazan
Se tiran de los pelos
Se muerden la lengua

Los locos chillan, se ríen, se mofan
Se ponen tristes, se tumban en el barro
Cuentan los charcos, están muy locos




Ellos lo saben
Que están muy locos, locos, locos

Overall Meaning

The song Los locos by Café Quijano tells the story of a group of crazy people who return after a long absence. They come back with sticks to let everyone know that they are still crazy. The singer explains that the group left because they believed that only the fish were enjoying themselves in the sea. Despite the challenges they faced, they returned, seemingly unchanged - still singing without melodies, lying in the mud, and fighting and embracing one another.


The song is an allegory for society's rejection of those who are different or deemed crazy. The group's behavior may be unsettling to some people, as they fight among themselves and act on their impulses. However, they also experience joy, sadness, and love, just like everyone else. The woman mentioned in the song seems to have the most unconventional view of the world, as she believes she can fly after seeing a gray angel in the clouds.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of individuality, despite others' opinions. The crazy people in the song may be different, but they live by their own rules and experience life to the fullest. The song's catchy melody and chorus make it memorable, while the lyrics convey a powerful message.
