Que Locura Enamorarme De Ti Lyrics in English by Eddie Santiago

Enviciare comes from the verb enviciar, which means "to get someone addicted to something" or "to corrupt". It's a word packed with intensity and a hint of danger.

In this classic salsa track, the singer makes a bold promise to his forbidden love: "Te enviciare de mí" (I will get you addicted to me). It's a powerful declaration that goes beyond simple affection, perfectly capturing the song's theme of an all-consuming, obsessive desire.

If you have ever fallen hard for someone in your friend group who is already taken, Puerto Rican salsa star Eddie Santiago knows your exact headache. In "Que Locura Enamorarme De Ti", he confesses his burning feelings to a close friend. He calls this crush pure madness, repeatedly singing, "Que locura fue fijarme justo en ti" (What madness it was to set my sights right on you) because "tu amor tiene otro dueño" (your love already belongs to another owner). It is dramatic, passionate salsa where he admits he is jealous of the air around her ("yo le siento celos hasta el propio viento" [I even feel jealous of the wind itself]) and feels like he is dying of thirst while dreaming about touching her skin.

What makes this track stand out is how quickly his polite friendly boundary crumbles. He starts off calling her "Amiga" (Friend), but soon calls her a "mujer prohibida" (forbidden woman) who consumes his daydreams. By the spoken breakdown near the end, he stops being subtle entirely. He begs her to give in to his pleas even just once ("Aunque sea por sólo una vez" [Even if it is just for one time]) and makes the extremely bold promise: "Te enseñare lo que es amor / Quemare tus entrañas" (I will teach you what love is / I will burn your insides). It swings wildly between sweet longing and total romantic obsession over an upbeat dance rhythm.
