Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Madre De Jose by El Canto del Loco from Spanish to English.

Intro

Hey José, listen to me, that I didn't do it on purpose

I went to look for you and I messed up, by the way

What a great day

Verse 1

How hot my friend José's mom is

I look at her and she reminds me of that moment that I know

That she opened the door and I asked for him

She tells me that he has left, that he's not coming back

My fantasy flies, it flies high and you see her

Lying on the couch and I'm inside the chalet

I relive that moment that made me lose it

Those few marbles that I might have

Chorus 1

And now I'm getting really crazy

What I am is a little nervous

It's that José's mom is driving me crazy

And I'm not going to leave her because I feel it and I feel everything

What fault do I have if I haven't opened that door?

And it was his mom that wanted me to come inside

Verse 2

I went up the stairs of the humble chalet

With his mom in my arms around me

Lying on that bed I saw my friend José

In a picture frame there looking at me

What happened happened and now I don't sleep well

I did it almost forced, I didn't know what to do

I hope that he understands it, that he knows to see it

It was a very hard moment, he'll understand it

Chorus 2

And now I'm going even crazier

What I am is a little more nervous

It's that José's mom is driving me crazy

And I'm not going to leave her because I feel it and I feel everything

What fault do I have if I haven't opened that door?

And it was his mom that wanted me to come inside

(Until ten in the morning

Keep going, José)

Look dude, understand me that I'm not a bad dude

That I'm very sensitive and I did it with love

I don't want you to think that I laugh at you

That I like your mom, José

It's that José's mom is driving me crazy

And I'm not going to leave her because I feel it and I feel everything

What fault do I have if I haven't opened that door?

And it was his mom that wanted me to come inside

It's that José's mom is driving me crazy

And I'm not going to leave her because I feel it and I feel everything

What fault do I have if I haven't opened that door?

And it was his mom that wanted me to come inside

That I went inside

SONG MEANING

La Madre De Jose is a cheeky, story-driven pop-rock tune where the narrator makes a frantic confession to his friend José: he has just had an unexpected rendezvous with José’s incredibly attractive mother. The lyrics play out like a comedic soap opera. The singer insists it was all a misunderstanding—he only went to visit José, but once inside the house, temptation took over. Now he is torn between guilt (betraying his friend) and excitement (the thrill of the forbidden). Every chorus underlines his dilemma: “¡La madre de José me está volviendo loco!” – José’s mom is driving him crazy.

Beneath the humor, the song explores impulsive desire, awkward apologies, and the razor-thin line between friendship and attraction. It’s a playful take on taboo, full of frantic explanations, nervous energy, and a dash of Spanish irreverence. Listeners are invited to laugh at the narrator’s predicament while tapping along to El Canto del Loco’s upbeat guitars and catchy hooks.
