Letra del Tango Locura locura

Te amo con suprema idolatría
que quisiera el poder omnipotente
del Divino Creador en este día
para vivir contigo eternamente.

Y ser uno del otro imprescindible
en la muda elocuencia de los besos
y tener nuestro nido en lo intangible
donde nadie perturbe mis secretos.

De todos tus amores tengo celos,
te amo como nunca te han amado
y para darte todo lo que anhelo
inventaré un placer en el pecado.

Cuando la vida eterna se desprenda
y el infinito muera en el olvido
quedará nuestro amor como la ofrenda
de dos que aunque pecaron han vivido.

(coda)
Quedará nuestro amor como la ofrenda
de dos que aunque pecaron han vivido.

English lyrics of the Tango "Locura locura"

I love you with supreme adoration
I wish I had the omnipotent power
of the Divine Creator on this day
to live with you eternally.

And to be indispensable to each other
in the mute eloquence of kisses
and to have our nest in the intangible
where no one can disturb my secrets.

I am jealous of all your loves,
I love you like you have never been loved
and to give you everything I long for
I will invent a pleasure in sin.

When eternal life detaches
and infinity dies into oblivion
our love will remain as the offering
of two who, though they have sinned, have lived.

(coda)
Our love will remain as the offering
of two who, though they have sinned, have lived.

Story behind the Tango Locura locura

“Locura locura” which translates to “Madness, madness” in English, reflects a profound and passionate declaration of love. The lyrics portray a speaker who experiences an obsessive and all-consuming love, often bordering on divine worship. This love is so intense that the speaker wishes for the omnipotence of the Divine Creator to eternally be with the beloved, indicating a desire to transcend earthly bounds to preserve this fervent emotion.



Symbolism of Locura locura

Roberto Cantoral effectively uses religious imagery and existential themes to deepen the emotional impact of the song. Phrases like “suprema idolatría” and “Divino Creador” elevate the love described to a near-sacred level, linking the personal emotion to universal concepts of creation and devotion. Furthermore, the repeated lines in the coda, where the love between the two is remembered as a sacred offering “de dos que aunque pecaron han vivido,” symbolizes love as a redeeming, enduring force, sanctified by its sheer power even in the face of sin and human imperfection.



Locura locura in historic Context

Recorded in 1961, during a politically and culturally vibrant period in Argentina, “Locura locura” captures the spirit of an era marked by intense emotional and artistic expressions. The year was a time of significant social changes and a burgeoning popular culture that embraced deep, introspective lyrical themes in music. In this context, Cantoral’s lyrics could be seen as an exploration of personal freedoms and emotional liberation, echoing the broader societal shifts towards more open emotional expressions and challenging traditional moral constraints.
