Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dulce Locura by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.

I sell the inventory of memories

Of the prettiest story

That I ever heard in my life

I sell the script of the saddest and the most beautiful film

That I could ever see in my life

I sell the chords, the brilliant melody, and the lyrics

That I will ever compose in my life

I even sell the poster that announces

The premiere of the moment that I will live in my life

I understand that you left and now I pay my sentence

But don't ask me that I want to live

Without your moon, without your sun, without your sweet madness

I become small and petite

The night dreams of you and mocks

I try to hug you and you shield yourself

I sell a worn-out camera that captured the gaze

That I will ever record in my life

I sell two expired tickets

That were from the second row

That I will break in my life

I sell two seats reserved centuries ago

And now I realize that in my life I sat

I even sell the poster that announces

The premiere of the moment that I will live in my life

I understand that you left and now I pay my sentence

But don't ask me that I want to live

Without your moon, without your sun, without your sweet madness

I become small and petite

The night dreams of you and mocks

I try to hug you

Without your moon, without your sun, without your sweet madness

Crying like a rainy day

My soul takes off and looks for you

On a trip that never returns

I will climb every night to look

For your moon on my rooftop

The memory of a hug

That still makes me shiver

Without your moon, without your sun, without your sweet madness

I become small and petite

The night dreams of you and mocks, I try to hug you

Without your moon, without your sun, without your sweet madness

Crying like a rainy day

My soul takes off and looks for you

On a trip that never

Will return

SONG MEANING

Picture a bustling street market of memories: on one table lies “the most beautiful script ever written,” on another a worn camera that once captured shared glances, beside them a pair of expired tickets that will never admit their owners again. In "Dulce Locura," Spanish pop band La Oreja de Van Gogh turns heartbreak into this surreal yard sale. The singer lists every treasured souvenir of a past romance for sale, hoping that by unloading the physical reminders she can lighten the weight in her heart.

But as the refrain returns—“Sin tu luna, sin tu sol, sin tu dulce locura”—she realizes that freedom is impossible. She accepts that the breakup was inevitable, yet begs not to be asked to live without her lover’s guiding moon, warming sun, and “sweet madness.” The result is a bittersweet anthem where resignation meets longing: a soaring pop melody that captures the dizzy mix of nostalgia, regret, and the stubborn hope that love’s light might still shine on the rooftop each night.
