Delirio Lyrics in English by Ramma, Tadu Vázquez
Deliraste comes from the verb delirar, meaning "to be delirious" or "to rave". It's an interesting word because it goes beyond simple infatuation, suggesting a state of intense, almost feverish obsession or confusion caused by someone.
In the song, the artist sings, "Lo que pasa es que vos me deliraste" (What happens is that you made me delirious). This implies that the person's presence or gaze has completely overwhelmed him, making him lose his sense of reality and become consumed by them. It's a strong, evocative word that captures the intoxicating effect of a powerful attraction.
The whole song hangs on a piece of grammar Ramma bends. "Delirar" means to rave or be delirious, something you do, not something you do to another person. He makes it transitive anyway: "Lo que pasa es que vos me deliraste" (The thing is, you drove me delirious), three times over, like he cannot get past it. The rest of the chorus is blunter. "Sos la droga que le falta a mi cuerpo" (You're the drug my body is missing), and all of it started with one look across a dance floor.
Then the daydream gets specific, which is what makes it funny. He would pick her up in a Tesla, fly her to Turkey in first class, do it regardless of the jet lag. One line pulls the whole thing down: "Pero por ahora no me dan las cuentas" (But for now the numbers don't add up). He is broke, he says so, and he goes straight on to "Soy alguien que vive no que inventa" (I'm someone who lives it, not someone who makes it up), which after that list of things he cannot afford is either very honest or a little cheeky. At under two minutes the song never stops to decide.
