Loca

The song 'Loca' by Chico Trujillo, a Chilean band known for their blend of cumbia, rock, and ska, delves into the emotional turmoil of unexpressed love and the consequences of keeping feelings hidden. The lyrics tell the story of a person who suddenly reveals their love, which had been silently nurtured for years, causing a shock to the recipient of this confession. The repeated phrase 'te volviste loca' (you went crazy) suggests a sense of disbelief and perhaps a hint of betrayal felt by the narrator, as this revelation comes unexpectedly and disrupts the status quo of their relationship.

The chorus reflects on the narrator's misfortune in love and luck, implying a resignation to the whims of fate and the unpredictability of life. The sentiment 'hay que vivirlo' (one must live it) reinforces the idea of embracing life's experiences, whether they are dreams or realities. This acceptance is further emphasized by the gratitude expressed towards the person who has caused this emotional upheaval, suggesting a complex mix of feelings including appreciation, despite the pain.

The verses also express a longing to understand what happened during the time they were apart, indicating a desire for closure or reconnection. The narrator craves the familiar yet provocative presence of the other person, highlighting the intensity and rawness of their emotions. The song captures the essence of passionate, albeit chaotic, love and the human need to experience and understand the depths of our connections with others.
