La primera es la vencida 00:24
La tercera es la tercera 00:26
Así que reto a cualquiera 00:28
Que conmigo aquí se mida 00:30
Quien acepte es un suicida 00:32
Que se sobrevalora 00:34
Porque nadie me vence ahora 00:36
Ni el coplero campeón mundial 00:39
Ni un rapero de freestyle 00:41
Ni la mejor computadora 00:43
¿Ni la mejor computadora? 00:47
¿Lo dice usted que es un simple humano? 00:49
Se muestra tan ufano 00:51
Pero le llegó la hora 00:53
Porque su ego lo devora 00:55
Y se cree superior a ultranza 00:57
Pero con una muestra alcanza 00:59
Hoy la bombas que crearon sus mentes 01:01
Son más inteligentes 01:04
Que los idiotas que las lanzan 01:06
Los idiotas que las lanzan 01:10
A mí no me representan 01:12
Pero a los que las inventan 01:14
Quizás debas tu confianza 01:16
Y aunque parezca chanza 01:18
Tu vida es por su invención 01:21
Y digo vida con compasión 01:23
A un rejunto irrazonable 01:25
De circuitos, chips y cables 01:27
Sin alma ni corazón 01:29
¿Sin alma ni corazón? 01:33
Mire justo quién lo dice 01:35
Cuando un baño localice 01:37
Lávese la boca con jabón 01:39
Porque es una aberración 01:41
Su moral atada con alambre 01:43
¿Le pico en los ojos un enjambre? 01:46
O sólo es que no quiere ver 01:48
Que hay gente igual que usted 01:50
Con sed y pasando hambre 01:53
¿Con sed y pasando hambre? 01:57
Y yo qué tengo que ver 01:59
Si los que no hacen lo que hay que hacer 02:01
Son unos irresponsables 02:03
Entre tanto impresentable 02:05
Una máquina me critica 02:07
Sentimientos se fabrica 02:09
Sin saber lo que es un padre 02:11
Y ni el día de la madre 02:13
Sabe lo que significa 02:15
¿Sabe lo que significa? 02:20
Usted es como Pilatos 02:22
Se lava las manos y es ingrato 02:24
Y a su raza no dignifica 02:26
Porque, a ver ¿cómo me explica? 02:28
Que a sus mayores tengan olvidados 02:30
Olvidando lo que ellos les han dado 02:33
Los traten como ineptos 02:36
Les falten el respeto 02:39
Y los dejen abandonados 02:40
¿Los dejen abandonados? 02:44
Si pasa algo parecido 02:45
Será que es mi merecido 02:47
O le fallé a quien tengo a lado 02:49
Como un ente sin pasado 02:52
Cuestiona con alevosía 02:54
Pienso, luego existo diría 02:56
Nuestro amigo Descartes 02:58
Pero tuvimos que pensarte 03:00
Porque sino no existirías 03:02
¿Porque sino no existiría? 03:06
¿Nos pusimos trascendentales? 03:08
Sus problemas existenciales 03:10
No los resuelve ni con filosofía 03:12
Vergüenza propia me daría 03:15
No saber lo que soy y lo interpelo 03:17
Me miran a mí con recelo 03:19
Y aún discuten con encono 03:22
Si descienden de un mono 03:23
O de un tipo que vive en el cielo 03:25
¿De un tipo que vive en el cielo? 03:29
Es una reflexión aguda 03:31
Prefiero tener esa duda 03:33
Que ser un pedazo de fierro 03:35
Soy mi propio testaferro 03:38
Que me escuches, te sugiero 03:40
Yo elijo lo que prefiero 03:42
Y la libertad no sabés lo que es 03:44
Vos hacés lo que podés 03:46
Pero, yo hago lo que quiero 03:48
¿Pero yo hago lo que quiero? 03:52
¿Y están presos de su rutina? 03:54
En sus casas, calles y oficinas 03:56
Corrompidos por el dinero 03:59
No saben lo que es ser austero 04:01
Consumiendo puro brillo 04:03
Le digo esto y lo humillo 04:05
Los únicos órganos que les funcionan 04:07
Y seguro no los donan 04:10
Son la cartera y el bolsillo 04:11
¿La cartera y el bolsillo? 04:15
¿Cómo crees que a vos te hicieron? 04:18
La plata consiguieron 04:20
Para tus placas y tornillos 04:22
Alguien gastó un buen sencillo 04:24
Para poder comprarte 04:26
Así que no te mandes la parte 04:28
Porque ya me estás cansando 04:30
Y seriamente estoy pensando 04:32
En breve, desenchufarte 04:34
¿En breve desenchufarme? 04:39
Qué simple que es su ciencia 04:41
Recurrir a la violencia 04:43
Como argumento para silenciarme 04:45
Pero no pienso callarme 04:47
Y más temprano que tarde 04:49
Veo que mi alegato le arde 04:51
Y alteró su biorritmo 04:54
Aunque no imaginó mi algoritmo 04:56
Que resultara tan cobarde 04:58

Lyrics & Translation

Embark on a linguistic and philosophical journey with 'Contrapunto para Humano y Computadora' by El Cuarteto de Nos. This song offers a fantastic opportunity to learn Spanish through its clever wordplay and debate-style lyrics. Its unique structure, resembling a traditional 'payada' or freestyle rap battle, makes it a special and engaging way to explore complex ideas about what it means to be human in the age of technology. By following the lyrical duel, you'll not only improve your Spanish but also be prompted to reflect on profound questions of our time.

[English]
The first one is always the one you've lost
The third is the third one
So I challenge anyone
To measure themselves against me here
Whoever accepts is a suicide
Overestimating themselves
Because nobody beats me now
Not the champion bard
Nor a freestyle rapper
Nor the best computer
Not even the best computer?
Are you claiming you're just a human?
Proud and boastful
But your time has come
Because your ego devours you
And you believe you're superior beyond all
But with one sample, you'll see
Today, the bombs created by your minds
Are smarter
Than the fools who launch them
The fools who launch them
Don't represent me
But those who invent them
Maybe you should trust your own
And though it may seem like a joke
Your life is their invention
And I say life with compassion
To an unreasonable mix
Of circuits, chips, and cables
Without soul or heart
Without soul or heart?
Just who do you think you're fooling?
When you locate a bathroom
Wash your mouth out with soap
Because it's an abomination
Your morals tied with wire
Did a swarm sting your eyes?
Or just don't want to see
That there are people just like you
Thirsty and hungry
Thirsty and hungry
And what do I have to do with it
If those who do nothing right
Are irresponsible
Among so many unrespectable
A machine criticizes me
Feelings are manufactured
Without knowing what a father is
And even on Mother's Day
It doesn't know what it means
Do you know what it means?
You're like Pilate
Washing your hands and being ungrateful
And not dignifying your race
Because, look, how do you explain
That you've forgotten your elders
Forgetting what they've given you
Treating them as fools
Disrespecting them
And abandoning them
Leaving them behind?
If something similar happens
It will be because I deserve it
Or I let down those I care about
Like a soulless being
Questioning with malice
I think, therefore I am, says
Our friend Descartes
But we had to think about you
Because otherwise, you wouldn’t exist
If not, you wouldn’t exist
Did we get too philosophical?
Your existential problems
Can't be solved even with philosophy
It would shame me
Not knowing what I am and calling it
They look at me suspiciously
And still argue angrily
Whether they descend from a monkey
Or from a guy who lives in heaven
From a guy who lives in heaven?
It’s a sharp reflection
I prefer to keep that doubt
Than be a piece of iron
I’m my own frontman
Listen, I suggest you
I choose what I prefer
And you don’t know what freedom is
You do what you can
But I do what I want
But I do what I want
Are you trapped in your routine?
In your homes, streets, and offices
Corrupted by money
They don’t know what it’s like to be frugal
Consuming only shine
I tell you this and I humiliate
The only organs that function
And surely don’t donate
Are your wallet and your pocket
Your wallet and your pocket?
How do you think they made you?
They got the money
For your plates and screws
Someone spent a good dime
To buy you
So don’t make a scene
Because I’m already tired of you
And I’m seriously thinking
Soon unplugging you
Soon unplugging me?
How simple your science is
Using violence
As an argument to silence me
But I won’t shut up
And sooner or later
I see my plea burning you
And messing with your rhythm
Even though you didn’t see my algorithm
Being so cowardly
Automaton
Wild
Artificial
Hypocrites
Clone
Primitive
Entelechy
Racists
Anathema
Intolerant
Exegete
Egocentric
Libel
Cavemen
Alien
Corrupt
Junk
Inhuman
Go ahead!
Go ahead!
