Lagrimita y Costel
The Heartache of a Lovelorn Fool

The song's protagonist is consumed by the memory of a lost love, unable to forget the person who once brought immense joy into his life. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing, as he describes himself as a 'loco' or a madman, driven to the brink by the absence of his beloved.
