Cualquiera En Su Sano Juicio (Se Habría Vuelto Loco Por Ti)
Enrique Bunbury
The Madness of Love in Bunbury's Ballad
Enrique Bunbury's song "Cualquiera En Su Sano Juicio (Se Habría Vuelto Loco Por Ti)" translates to "Anyone In Their Right Mind (Would Have Gone Crazy For You)" and delves into the theme of passionate, almost irrational love. The lyrics speak of a person who is willing to endure and rebuild, no matter the losses or challenges faced, all for the sake of love. The repeated act of rebuilding a burning house serves as a metaphor for the resilience and persistence in the face of love's trials.
The song's chorus emphasizes a commitment that goes beyond reason, suggesting that love can drive a person to madness, but in a way that is seen as justifiable and even commendable. The phrase "Cualquiera en su sano juicio se habría vuelto loco por ti" implies that falling madly in love is a natural response, and that anyone would do the same in the narrator's position. This sentiment is reinforced by the notion that the narrator has made no sacrifice in losing their sanity for love, suggesting that such a loss is insignificant compared to the value of the love they feel.
Bunbury's musical style often incorporates poetic lyrics and a blend of rock with other genres, which adds depth to the emotional weight of the song. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty, resilience, and defiance against societal norms or expectations, as the narrator is willing to offend the 'squadron of morality' for the sake of love. The song captures the essence of love's power to transform and consume, painting a picture of a love so intense that it defies logic and reason.
