The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Loco" by Jose Luis Perales.
Lyrics
Dice que el viento tiene alas
y que el sol es un globo que han colgado
y que las nubes no son nubes
que son caballos blancos.
Dice que el dia es la noche
y dice que la noche es la mañana,
y que las gotas de rocío
son lágrimas de plata.
Dice que su guitarra es su mujer
y la acaricia lentamente,
mientras la vida pasa junto a él indiferente.
Hay un niño jugando alrededor
y le sonríe dulcemente,
la tarde pone un beso una vez mas sobre su frente.
Dice que el frío es una hoguera
donde van a quemarse las palabras
dice que la pradera es un pañuelo
de seda perfumada.
Dice que el rico es un mendigo
dice que la riqueza está en el alma
y que sus manos no son manos
que son palomas blancas.
Hay un niño jugando alrededor
y le sonríe dulcemente
la tarde pone un beso una vez mas sobre su frente
Dice que la mentira es la verdad
y la verdad es la mentira
y en el tiempo que dura una canción se va la vida…
Lyrics translation
He says the wind has wings
and that the sun is a balloon that they have hung
and that clouds are not clouds
they're white horses.
He says Day is night
and he says that night is morning,
and that dew drops
they're silver tears.
He says his guitar is his wife
and he caresses her slowly,
while life passes by him indifferent.
There's a kid playing around
and he smiles sweetly,
the evening puts a kiss once more on his forehead.
He says the cold is a bonfire
where words will burn
he says the meadow is a handkerchief.
scented silk.
He says the rich man is a beggar
he says that wealth is in the soul
and that his hands are not hands
they're white pigeons.
There's a kid playing around
and he smiles sweetly
the evening puts a kiss once more on his forehead
He says the lie is the truth
and the truth is the lie
and in the time that a song lasts life goes away…
