OJITOS MENTIROSOS Lyrics in English by Chino Pacas
Enloquece comes from the verb enloquecer, meaning 'to drive crazy' or 'to madden'. It's a strong, evocative word that captures intense emotion.
In the song, the singer uses it to describe the powerful effect of someone's gaze: "Tu mirada tierna me enloquece" (Your tender gaze drives me crazy). This word perfectly conveys the overwhelming and almost intoxicating feeling of being captivated by someone's eyes, making it a memorable and engaging choice.
Chino Pacas's "OJITOS MENTIROSOS" is all about that intense, confusing feeling when you're drawn to someone who you know isn't good for you. He's completely captivated by these "ojitos mentirosos" [lying eyes], saying, "Tu mirada tierna me enloquece" [Your tender gaze drives me crazy]. It's like their look is as powerful as "el ardiente sol que amanece" [the burning sun that dawns], just totally overwhelming him.
Even though he knows these eyes are lying, he can't resist them. He repeats, "Mienten, mienten tus ojitos / Miran, miran tan bonitos" [Your little eyes lie, they lie / They look, they look so pretty], and every time they look at him, his "corazón / Se hace pedacitos" [heart / breaks into little pieces]. He even calls their lie "la noche / Oscuridad llena de reproches" [the night / Darkness full of reproaches], showing he's aware of the pain and regret that comes with it. It's a classic tale of being hopelessly smitten, even when you know better!
