Vivo La Locura
Eduardo Verástegui
Embracing the Sweet Madness of Love
Eduardo Verástegui's song "Vivo La Locura" is a passionate ode to the intoxicating and all-encompassing nature of love. The lyrics convey a sense of completeness and fulfillment that comes from being close to a loved one. The singer expresses that just knowing his partner thinks of him is enough to make him feel content. This sentiment is beautifully captured in lines like "Con tenerte cerca a mi, con eso es suficiente" (With having you close to me, that's enough) and "Porque se que en cada poro me respiras tu" (Because I know you breathe me in every pore). The imagery of breathing and perceiving each other highlights the deep connection and mutual presence in each other's lives.
The song also touches on the idea of love transcending societal judgments and expectations. The lyrics "Y nos trae sin problemas, el que dira la gente" (And it doesn't matter to us what people will say) emphasize the couple's indifference to external opinions. They find security and confidence in their love, symbolized by the metaphor of being "prendida de mis alas" (clinging to my wings) and feeling safe even in the heights. This suggests that their love gives them the strength to rise above any challenges or criticisms they might face.
The chorus, "Vivo la locura, dulce y deliciosa, que me quieras" (I live the sweet and delicious madness that you love me), encapsulates the essence of the song. It portrays love as a delightful madness, a necessary and fulfilling part of life. The repetition of "me amas" (you love me) reinforces the mutual affection and the joy it brings. The song celebrates the different dimensions of a relationship, from being partners and lovers to friends, and the enduring presence of love in every aspect of life. Verástegui's heartfelt delivery and the poetic lyrics make "Vivo La Locura" a touching tribute to the power and beauty of love.
