Hombres y Locos
Los Amantes De Lola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Existen locos como yo
Bajo las nubes que cubren el sol
Bajo las telas que cubren tu piel
Un loco salta volando
Un hombre escapa llorando
Un loco salta volando y no, regresará
El hombre sueña deseando volar
El loco vuela al extremo del mar
Y mientras los hombres
Miran al tiempo pasar
El loco canta parado en la mesa del bar
Un loco salta volando
Un hombre escapa llorando
Un loco salta volando y no, regresará
Un loco salta volando
Un hombre escapa llorando
Un loco salta volando y no, regresará
Un loco
Un loco
The lyrics of Los Amantes De Lola's song "Hombres y Locos" describe the contrasting attitudes of two types of people - men and crazies. The opening lines "Existen hombres, como tú, existen locos como yo" establish the two groups, indicating that the singer and the person they're addressing belong to different categories. The song then goes on to describe the behavior of these two groups - while the men dream of flying, the crazies actually take the risk and jump. The line "El hombre sueña deseando volar, el loco vuela al extremo del mar" highlights this difference, with the madness of the crazies being seen as an admirable quality. The men are portrayed as passive, just watching time go by, while the crazies sing and dance on tables.
The repeated refrain, "Un loco salta volando, un hombre escapa llorando" emphasizes the differences between the two groups, while the final lines, "Un loco, un loco" seem to suggest that the singer identifies more with the 'crazy' group. Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of taking risks and living life to the fullest, rather than just dreaming about it.
