Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Loco by José Luis Perales from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dice que el viento tiene alas
He says that the wind has wings
Y que el sol es un globo que han colgado
And that the sun is a balloon that they have hung
Y que las nubes no son nubes
And that the clouds are not clouds
Que son caballos blancos
what are white horses
Dice que el día es la noche
He says day is night
Y dice que la noche es la mañana
And he says night is morning
Y que las gotas de la lluvia son lágrimas de plata
And that the raindrops are silver tears
Dice que su guitarra es su mujer
He says that his guitar is his wife
Y la acaricia lentamente
And he caresses her slowly
Mientras la vida pasa junto a él indiferente
While life passes by him indifferent
Hay un niño jugando alrededor
There is a child playing around
Y le sonríe dulcemente
And he smiles sweetly at her
La tarde pone un beso una vez más
The afternoon puts a kiss once more
Sobre su frente
on his forehead
Dice que el frío es una hoguera
He says the cold is a bonfire
Donde van a quemarse las palabras
where the words will burn
Dice que la pradera es un pañuelo de seda perfumada
He says that the prairie is a perfumed silk handkerchief

Hay un niño jugando alrededor

Y le sonríe dulcemente
And he smiles sweetly at her
La tarde pone un beso una vez más

Sobre su frente

Y la verdad es la mentira
