Esta locura

Los Auténticos Decadentes' song "Esta locura" captures the essence of a wild, chaotic night out that spirals out of control. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a group of friends embarking on a night of heavy drinking and partying. The song begins with the group finishing off a damajuana (a large bottle of wine) and moving from bar to bar, refusing to let the night end. This relentless pursuit of fun and excitement is a central theme, as they continue their revelry into the early hours of the morning.

The narrative takes a turn when the group attends a party filled with women from local brothels, hosted by a character named Don Gomina. The party is characterized by loud music, abundant drinks, and a carefree atmosphere. However, the night takes a dangerous turn when a cigarette sets a curtain on fire, leading to a chaotic scene where people are jumping out of windows to escape the blaze. The repeated refrain, "esta locura no se puede parar" (this madness cannot be stopped), underscores the uncontrollable nature of the night's events.

As the fire spreads and the situation becomes more dire, the arrival of the police (referred to as "la yuta") only adds to the chaos. The song ends with the group fleeing the scene, still caught up in the madness of the night. The lyrics of "Esta locura" reflect a sense of reckless abandon and the thrill of living in the moment, even as things go disastrously wrong. Los Auténticos Decadentes, known for their energetic and eclectic musical style, use this song to capture the spirit of youthful exuberance and the inevitable consequences of such wild nights.
