El Loco Perdido
La Mona Jiménez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La gente vive diciendo
Que soy un loco perdido
Porque hablo solo en la calle
Como si hablara contigo

La gente dice que no
Que estoy en mi sano juicio
Y hablan de mí muy bajito
No saben que estoy loco porque
Porque no te olvido

Yo soy un loco loco loco perdido
Yo soy un loco loco loco perdido
Perdido porque no te olvido
Porque no te olvido

Yo soy un loco loco loco perdido
Yo soy un loco loco loco perdido
Perdido por un amor perdido
Por un amor perdido

Yo se que estoy loco y qué
Y más loco me volveré
Camino las calles pisando
La huella que tu me has dejado

Y cuando me siento en el bar
En el que yo te conocí
Le pido al mozo dos cafés




El te saluda aunque no estés
Ya sabe que no te olvido

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Mona Jimenez's song "El Loco Perdido" depict a man who is deemed crazy by society due to his behavior of speaking alone in the street as if he were talking to someone. Despite being called crazy, the man knows that he is only crazy because he cannot forget his lost love.
