Enloquece comes from the verb enloquecer, which means 'to go crazy' or 'to drive crazy'. It's a powerful and dramatic word built from the adjective loco (crazy).
In this iconic song, Selena sings "Mi corazón se enloquece" (My heart goes crazy) to describe the intense, overwhelming feeling she gets when she sees her crush. It perfectly captures that out-of-control, electrifying excitement of new love, as if her heart has a mind of its own!
Have you ever had a crush so big that your heart felt like it was playing its own drum solo? That's exactly what Selena is singing about in "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom"! The title isn't just a fun sound; it's the literal beat of her heart every time she sees the person she likes. She sings, "Cada vez que lo veo pasar / Mi corazón se enloquece" [Every time I see him pass / My heart goes crazy].
This isn't just a little flutter. Her heart completely takes over. She says it "ya no razona / No lo puedo controlar" [no longer reasons / I can't control it]. The feeling is so powerful that it's not just in her chest. When she hears him speak, "me tiemblan hasta las piernas" [even my legs tremble]. The whole song is a super joyful celebration of that overwhelming, head-over-heels feeling of a new crush, when your heart has a mind of its own and sings its own happy, frantic song.
