7 Dias Lyrics in English by Gabito Ballesteros, Tito Double P
Loqueras comes from the root word loco (crazy) and translates to "craziness", "foolishness", or "wild behavior". It is a highly expressive slang term frequently used in Mexico and across Latin America to describe acting out or doing reckless things.
In this song, Gabito Ballesteros sings, "¿Como voy a explicar que me perdí en loqueras?" (How am I going to explain that I got lost in wild behavior?). He uses this memorable word to admit that he turned to partying and reckless choices as a distraction from the anxiety of a painful breakup.
This song is a whole seven-day journey through a messy breakup. Gabito Ballesteros starts out completely lost, admitting it's just him and his anxiety: "Sólo somos yo y la puta ansiedad" (It's just me and fucking anxiety). He's blowing up her phone with thirty missed calls and trying to distract himself by partying with his friends and other women to "matar esta ansiedad" (kill this anxiety).
He spends half the song blaming her, asking "Dime qué tienes / Si tú al final no sabes ni qué quieres" (Tell me what's wrong with you / If in the end you don't even know what you want). He's convinced he can see in her eyes that she still loves him. But then there's a switch. By the end of the week, he seems to find some resolve. The distractions aren't working anymore—"el alcohol sabe mal" (the alcohol tastes bad)—and he decides he's done, swearing "que no te vuelvo a mirar" (that I won't look at you again). It's a classic story of heartbreak, denial, and finally, the first step toward moving on.
