Só Louco
Nana Caymmi Lyrics

The lyrics of Nana Caymmi's "Só Louco" speak of a love that can only be understood by someone who has loved as deeply as the songwriter. The chorus repeats the phrase "só louco," which translates to "only crazy," insinuating that only someone who is crazy would have loved as much as the singer loves. The verses speak of the pain that comes with love and the confusion that it can bring. The singer addresses their "insensato coração," meaning "insensitive heart," for making them suffer, but eventually concludes that to understand love, one must love.

The song has a melancholic tone, which is reflected in the lyrics as well as the music. The use of a simple guitar and piano accompaniment adds to the emotional impact of the song. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that only someone who is "crazy" would have experienced a love as intense as the one being sung about.
