Una locura
José Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
si me encontraste o te encontré, se me olvidó.
Si me llamaste o te llamé, si me miraste o te miré
si sonreíste o sonreí, que importa.
Si era temprano o era tarde,
si hacía frío o si lucía el sol.
Solo recuerdo que lo nuestro fue una locura.
que no pasó de ser una aventura
y el viento del verano marchitó.
Una locura, que no dejó una huella en mi camino,
que se quedó en el aire sin destino
y que al pasar el tiempo la borró.
Ya no recuerdo como fue, si tu me amaste o yo te amé,
si te marchaste o me marché, se me olvidó.
Si me dejaste o te dejé, si me perdiste o te perdí,
si me olvidaste o te olvidé, que importa.
Si era verano o era otoño,
si era en un bar o en una playa al sol.
Solo recuerdo que lo nuestro fue una locura.
Una locura, que solo floreció una primavera,
que no pasó de ser una aventura
y el viento del verano marchitó.
Una locura, que no dejó una huella en mi camino,
que se quedó en el aire sin destino
y que al pasar el tiempo la borró.
Una locura, que solo floreció una primavera,
que no pasó de ser una aventura
y el viento del verano marchitó.
The song "Una Locura" by José Luis Perales talks about a passionate but fleeting relationship that left no lasting impact. The singer cannot even remember the details of how the relationship began or ended, only that it was a "locura" or madness. The opening lines present the ambiguity of the situation by questioning who initiated the relationship, if it was a mutual effort or not. The singer is unsure if they were the pursuer or the pursued, or if it was a chance encounter. The next stanza adds to the sense of uncertainty, as the singer cannot recall who called or who smiled first, only that it happened. The details of time and place do not matter, because what remains is the memory of a brief, wild adventure.
The chorus reinforces the theme of brevity, as it claims that the relationship only lasted for one spring, and that the summer wind withered it away. It was a brief encounter that did not leave any trace behind, like footprints on a path. The second verse echoes the same doubts and forgetfulness of the first one, as the singer cannot remember who loved more or who left whom. The only certainty is that it was another "locura" that faded away with time.
The song's lyrics express a sense of nostalgia for a past that was intense but fleeting, a moment of passion that did not last but left a mark on the singer's emotions. It speaks to the universal experience of falling for someone and then realizing that it was only a temporary infatuation. The song's gentle melody and Perales's emotive delivery underscore the wistful tone of the lyrics.
