La Trampa Lyrics in English by Pimpinela
Enloquecí means "I went crazy" or "I lost my mind." It's the past tense of the verb enloquecer, which describes the act of going mad or becoming insane.
In the dramatic context of "La Trampa," this word perfectly captures the intense emotional turmoil of the narrator. After confronting a painful truth and being invited by the other woman, the narrator exclaims "Y enloquecí," highlighting a moment of profound emotional breakdown and loss of control, making it a very impactful and memorable word in the song.
Pimpinela's "La Trampa" [The Trap] tells a dramatic story of betrayal and heartbreak, all from the perspective of someone who thought they were happy.
The song starts with the singer believing they were happy, only seeing what they wanted to see in their partner. They admit, "Cerré los ojos, tape al Sol" [I closed my eyes, I covered the sun]. But then, like a ghost, another woman appears, and the singer sees her partner with this other woman. The partner tries to deny it, saying, "No es lo que piensas, Nada pasó, Es una trampa" [It's not what you think, Nothing happened, It's a trap]. But the singer doesn't believe them. The singer goes to confront the other woman, and while on the way, they wonder if they're being lied to. The song reaches its peak when the singer sees their partner with the other woman and a child playing. The partner is embracing the child, and the singer is devastated, saying, "Yo me morí" [I died]. They leave without a word, cursing the other woman and burying their partner in their mind. It's a powerful story about the pain of discovering a hidden life.
