La Llamaban Loca
El Consorcio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
su hogar unas nubes tendidas al sol.
En sus miradas amor; en sus respuestas sí
y para su dolor un solo fin...
Él se fue, los cabellos pintados de gris,
ella dejó de cuidar las flores del jardín
y le decía ven, tenemos que vivir...
Y los muchachos del barrio le llamaban loca,
y ella gritó no señor, ya lo ven, yo no estoy loca
estuve loca ayer, pero fue por amor.
Y los muchachos del barrio le llamaban loca.
Aaaa aa aaaa aaaa
Aaaa aa aaaa aaaa
En el hospital en un banco al sol, se la puede ver
sonreír, consultando su viejo reloj,
pensando que ha de venir aquél que se marchó
y se llevó con él su corazón.
Y los muchachos del barrio le llamaban loca,
y unos hombres vestidos de blanco le dijeron ven
y ella gritó no señor, ya lo ven, yo no estoy loca
estuve loca ayer pero fue por amor.
Aa aaaa aaa aaaa
No vendrá, él la espera en sus nubes al sol,
en ese mundo en que ayer tan sólo fueron dos,
en ese mundo en que triunfó el amor,
y los muchachos del barrio le llamaban loca.
The song La Llamaban Loca by El Consorcio is a powerful ballad about the strength of love and the sacrifice one can make for it. The lyrics describe a couple who had a world of their own, where their home was the clouds and their love for each other was the only thing that mattered. But tragically, the man leaves, and the woman is left alone, which causes her to be considered crazy by the neighborhood boys. She waits for his return and refuses to believe she is insane, despite the men in white coats telling her otherwise.
The lyrics are poignant and describe the depth of the woman's love for her man, who she is willing to wait for until the end of time. She is not only a victim of love, but the societal stigma of being considered crazy. It speaks to the power of love and the lengths we are willing to go to protect it, even if it means sacrificing our own well-being and sanity.
Overall, La Llamaban Loca is a beautiful and moving song that tells the story of love and loss, sacrifice, and the strength to wait for what you truly want.

El mundo fue sólo de los dos, y para los dos,
su hogar unas nubes tendidas al sol.
They had a world of their own, just for them two,

she stopped taking care of the flowers in the garden
and said come on, we have to live...

The boys in the neighborhood called her crazy,
and some men in white asked her to come,
she yelled no sir, can't you see, I'm not crazy
I was crazy yesterday, but it was because of love.
En el hospital en un banco al sol, se la puede ver
sonreír, consultando su viejo reloj,
pensando que ha de venir aquél que se marchó
y se llevó con él su corazón.
In the hospital, sitting on a bench in the sun, she can be seen
smiling, checking her old watch,
thinking that the one who left will come
and took her heart away with him.
No vendrá, él la espera en sus nubes al sol,
en ese mundo en que ayer tan sólo fueron dos,
en ese mundo en que triunfó el amor,
y los muchachos del barrio le llamaban loca.
He won't come, he's waiting for her in the clouds basking under the sun,
in that world where yesterday they were just two,
in that world where love triumphed,
and the boys in the neighborhood called her crazy.
