Hay locuras para la esperanza
There are crazinesses for hope
Hay locuras también del dolor
There are crazinesses of pain as well
Y hay locuras de allá
And there are crazinesses from over there
Donde el cuerdo no alcanza
Where the sane cannot reach
Locuras de otro color
Crazinesses of another color
Hay locuras que son poesía
There are crazinesses that are poetry
Hay locuras de un raro lugar
There are crazinesses from a strange place
Hay locuras sin nombre
There are nameless crazinesses
Sin fecha, sin cura
Without date, without cure
Que no vale la pena curar
That aren't worth healing
Hay locuras que son
There are crazinesses that are
Como brazos de mal
Like arms of evil
Te sorprenden, te arrastran
They surprise you, they drag you
Te pierden y ya
They lose you and that's it
Hay locuras de ley
There are crazinesses of law
Pero no de buscar
But not of seeking
Hay locuras que son la locura
There are crazinesses that are madness
Personales locuras de dos
Personal crazinesses of two
Hay locuras que imprimen
There are crazinesses that imprint
Dulces quemaduras
Sweet burns
Locuras de diosa y de Dios
Goddess and God’s madness
Hay locuras que hicieron el día
There are crazies that made the day
Hay locuras que están por venir
There are crazies yet to come
Hay locuras tan vivas
There are crazies so alive
Tan sanas, tan puras
So healthy, so pure
Que una de ellas será mi morir
That one of them will be my demise
