Voy a Enloquecer

Luis Mateus' song 'Voy a Enloquecer' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is utterly consumed by thoughts of a woman he cannot forget. He is confused and tormented by the idea that she might not feel the same way about him. This emotional struggle is evident in lines like 'Pienso tanto en ella no se que me pasa' and 'Estoy confundido no creo que pueda olvidarla,' which translate to 'I think so much about her, I don't know what's happening to me' and 'I'm confused, I don't think I can forget her,' respectively.

The song's narrative reveals a desperate longing and a refusal to accept the end of a romantic relationship. The protagonist is willing to give his life for her, but she only wants to remain friends and forget the past. This unreciprocated love leads him to a state of despair, as he repeatedly expresses disbelief that she could ever forget him. The chorus, 'Yo no creo ni puedo pensar que tú me vallas a olvidar,' which means 'I don't believe or can think that you will forget me,' underscores his denial and emotional pain.

Mateus also touches on the physical and mental toll this unrequited love takes on him. He feels weak and unable to move on, despite his efforts. The plea for divine intervention, 'pídele ayuda a Dios,' or 'ask God for help,' highlights his desperation and the depth of his suffering. The song's title, 'Voy a Enloquecer,' meaning 'I'm going to go crazy,' encapsulates the intense emotional distress and the fear of losing his sanity if she does not return to him. This poignant portrayal of love and loss resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of unrequited love.
