Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Invisible by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Nothing here, nothing there

Nothing to say, nothing to explain

Today even the sun won't see me

Nothing to show, nothing to fake

Nothing to judge, nothing to avoid

Today nobody will hear my voice

Chorus 1

So many lights, so many stares, what do they have so much to look at?

So much darkness, so much darkness

Because it's true that I feel invisible

The times that I'd rather they could see me

And deep down, I only seek that they find me

The times that I'd rather disappear

Bridge

I feel the power to see without being seen

When nobody looks at me, that's when I know I exist

I'm not Mephisto

Nor the Antichrist

I don't hide for pleasure but for necessity

Like Houdini, unpredictable

Without magic or spell I become invisible

And I impassively dig the trench of my war

Begging: "Earth, swallow me!"

Verse 2

I can be real, I can be fiction

Just material or just illusion

But I have control

And even though I know that I'm never going to see it

I know that there's someone else that must have

The same intention that I do

Chorus 2

The essential isn't seen by the eyes

That's why there are days that I choose not to be

And that's my truth, that's my truth

Because it's true that I feel invisible

The times that I'd rather they could see me

And deep down, I only seek that they find me

The times that I'd rather disappear

Bridge

I've gotten used to being transparent

Among the crowd that doesn't see me even though I'm present

And I feel absent only when I vanish

Wrapped in my smoke bomb

Wells described me, Dalí painted me

But nobody understands why I'm like this

If they ask how I do it, nobody answers

Not everything has an answer!

Chorus 3

Because it's true that I feel invisible

The times that I'd rather they could see me

And deep down, I only seek that they find me

The times that I'd rather disappear

Outro

The times that I'd rather disappear

Six, five, four, three

Outro

The times that I'd rather disappear

SONG MEANING

Invisible dives into that strange tug-of-war between craving the spotlight and wanting to melt into the background. The singer slips through crowds like a modern-day Houdini, enjoying the quiet power of seeing without being seen while also aching for someone to finally notice him. Lines about “trágame tierra” and “bomba de humo” paint a playful, almost comic-book image of self-erasure, yet the feeling is painfully real: when nobody looks, he wonders if he exists at all.

The lyrics sprinkle clever references – H.G. Wells’s Invisible Man, Dalí’s surreal canvases, even the devilish Antichrist – to show that this struggle has popped up in art for ages. Beneath the humor you hear a confession: hiding is sometimes a necessity, not a thrill. The track urges listeners to recognize those quiet souls who fade into the scenery, and maybe even to acknowledge the invisible parts within themselves.
