Ketama's song 'De Repente,' featuring Aurora Losada, is a poetic exploration of the transformative power of love. The lyrics describe a sudden and overwhelming change in the narrator's life, akin to the transition from childhood to adolescence. This metaphor highlights the abrupt and intense nature of the emotions experienced. The phrase 'Como quien se vuelve loco' (Like someone who goes crazy) further emphasizes the disorienting yet exhilarating impact of falling in love, where past and present blur together in a whirlwind of feelings.

The song continues to delve into the miraculous and almost magical quality of this newfound love. The narrator describes how their partner's joy has completely filled their life, likening it to witchcraft. This metaphor suggests that the partner's love has an enchanting and almost supernatural ability to bring happiness and fulfillment. The repeated use of 'vida mía' (my life) underscores the deep personal significance and intimacy of this relationship, portraying it as a life-altering experience.

They see their beloved's face in every person they encounter, indicating an all-consuming obsession.

The final lines, 'Tu locura me inundó violentamente' (Your madness flooded me violently), encapsulate the overwhelming and transformative nature of this love, which has made the narrator believe in love again. This song beautifully captures the sudden, intense, and life-changing impact of falling deeply in love.
