Los mareados
Susana Rinaldi Lyrics

The lyrics of Susana Rinaldi’s song “Los Mareados” reflect the tragedy of two individuals who encounter each other in the midst of their own personal turmoil. The opening lines “Rara Como encendida, Te halle bebiendo, Linda y fatal” (Strange, like you were on fire, I found you drinking, beautiful and fatal) paint the image of a woman who is both mysterious and alluring, caught up in the throes of intoxication. However, despite her levity, there is an underlying sense of sadness in her laughter, as suggested by the line “Loca reias, Por no llorar” (You were laughing crazily, So as not to cry).

The singer expresses a sense of sadness upon seeing her, as he knows that her eyes, which he once adored so much, are now filled with an electric intensity that suggests her inner pain. “Pena Me dio encontrarte, Pues al mirarte, Yo vi mujer brillar tus ojos Con un electrico ardor, Tus bellos ojos que tanto adore” (I felt sorrow upon finding you, For when I looked at you, I saw a woman with an electric intensity shining in your eyes, Your beautiful eyes which I once adored). The two individuals find solace in alcohol as they both have their own personal sorrows to contend with. The final lines “Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado, Hoy nuevas sendas tomaremos, Que grande ha sido nuestro amor Y sin embargo, ay, mira lo que quedo” (Today you will enter into my past, Today we will take new paths, How great our love has been And yet, look at what remains) reflect their mutual acknowledgement that their past romance has come to an end, and what remains is only heartache.
