CARTIER DE MADERA Lyrics in English by Cruz Cafuné

Voluble translates to "fickle" or "changeable". It's a less common, more sophisticated word than its synonyms, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the song, Cruz Cafuné uses it to challenge someone's inconsistent behavior: "Necesito que dejes de actuar como el cabrón voluble que aparentas ser" (I need you to stop acting like the fickle jerk you pretend to be). This word perfectly captures the idea of someone who is unreliable and constantly changing their mind or loyalties.

Cruz Cafuné’s “CARTIER DE MADERA” is a cool, funny flex with a clear rule underneath: ambition and friendship do not always mix. He says, “No casan ambición y amigos” [ambition and friends do not go together], then balances luxury images with calm self-belief: “Flex / No Pikolinos / Duermo tranquilo” [Flex / not Pikolinos shoes / I sleep peacefully]. The title, “Cartiers de Madera,” means “wooden Cartiers,” turning an expensive watch reference into a deliberately absurd image. He talks about scissor doors, borrowed cars, Adidas promotion, private calls, and money, but the bragging keeps circling back to loyalty. “Si eres rata corto relación” [if you are a rat, I cut the relationship], while “La gente miente, las cifras no” [people lie, numbers do not] gives the song its blunt scoreboard.

The lyrics place that confidence in Tenerife’s world, with “922 y 28 el equipo” [922 and 28, the team] and “La isla dice ‘Carlitos lo hizo’” [the island says, ‘Carlitos did it’]. He imagines filling La Hamburguesa after two more albums, says he is always busy on FaceTime or Discord, and jokes that his girlfriend’s jeans are size 42 and so tight she has to jump to pull them up. There is also a sharp warning to stop pretending to be unpredictable: “Y si eres malo, eres malo, y ya fue” [if you are bad, you are bad, and that is that]. The repeated “Flex” feels less like a serious speech than a victory lap, packed with football references, cars doing donuts, Kanye’s “Through the Wire,” and the hilarious claim that his power is “irrespetuoso” [disrespectful] because it pressures others to prove they can make a better song.
