The repeated line, "La ciudad los ama, ¿y qué?" (The city loves them, so what?), suggests a sense of acceptance and celebration of these differences, emphasizing that these 'crazies' are an integral part of the city's identity.
The song delves deeper into the lives of these characters, portraying them as people who live with passion and creativity.
