Locura... locura

Dalva de Oliveira's song 'Locura... locura' is a passionate declaration of love that transcends the ordinary and reaches for the divine. The lyrics express a profound and almost obsessive adoration, where the speaker wishes for the omnipotent power of a divine creator to live eternally with their beloved. This desire for eternal union highlights the intensity and depth of the speaker's feelings, suggesting that their love is not just a fleeting emotion but a fundamental part of their existence.

The song uses rich metaphors to convey the speaker's longing and devotion. Phrases like 'suprema idolatría' (supreme idolatry) and 'muda elocuencia de los besos' (mute eloquence of kisses) illustrate a love that is both sacred and deeply intimate. The speaker's wish to have a 'nido en lo intangible' (nest in the intangible) where no one can disturb their secrets further emphasizes the desire for a private, unbreakable bond that exists beyond the physical world.

Jealousy and the fear of losing the beloved are also central themes in the song. The speaker admits to feeling jealous of all past loves and vows to love in a way that has never been experienced before. This intense emotion drives the speaker to 'inventaré un placer en el pecado' (invent a pleasure in sin), suggesting a willingness to defy moral boundaries for the sake of their love. The final stanza speaks to the enduring nature of their love, even beyond life and into the realm of the eternal, where their love will remain as a testament to their lived experiences, despite any sins they may have committed.
