Camello patagónico Lyrics (English Translation) by El Cuarteto de Nos is a new spanish song by El Cuarteto de Nos. The song is released on Cuarteto de Nos’s official YouTube channel, written by Roberto Musso, produced by El Cuarteto de Nos, Faro House, and Héctor Castillo, and is part of the album Puertas. Offering listeners a surreal and thought-provoking experience, the track blends literary references, absurdist imagery, and metaphysical metaphors to create a rich, layered listening journey.
The song explores the chaos, contradictions, and absurdity of modern existence through a kaleidoscope of surrealist and avant-garde symbols. El Cuarteto de Nos uses dreamlike language, references to art, literature, and philosophy, and an eerie refrain of “algo anda mal” (something’s wrong) to underscore a disjointed reality where meaning is slippery and truth is fragmented. The result is a poetic and satirical portrayal of a world on the brink of collapse—or transformation—told through cryptic vignettes and cultural pastiche.

Camello patagónico (English Translation) Lyrics
[Intro]
Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh
Uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah
Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh
Uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah
Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh
Uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah
Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh
Uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah
[Verse 1]
Flying nuts, rolling bricks
Nervous spoons behind a curtain
A scarecrow full of nests
Listens to the silence of an old drum
[Verse 2]
Spider webs of sugar and salt
Pianos on fire under the sea
Octopuses that want to put out the fire
With dry drops of black dew
[Pre-Chorus]
And the statue of the bald singer sings (Tatara-rara-tara-rarara-rara)
And over her mane, empty cages flutter (Empty cages)
[Chorus]
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
[Verse 3]
The necklace with thorns
Broken by the two Fridas
The pendulum comes, the pendulum goes
With an eye that someone is about to cut
Glass ties in a honeyed sky
A Golem reflected in the Aleph
And only in the library of Babel does Godot remain waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
With soft clocks and Honolulu flowers (Chuchuru-ruru-chururu-rururu)
And on a bed, catala, Cronopios, and Famas dance
[Chorus]
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
[Bridge]
The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine
The man with the pipe had his hat replaced
A soluble fish and a splashing umbrella
The Andalusian dog is bitten by the bull of Guernica (There)
The lovers who finally see each other
They take off their veils and kiss on the belly of King Ubu
And from the labyrinth of solitude
The world today It seems like a better place.
Something’s wrong.
Something’s wrong (Something’s wrong).
[Outro]
Trice (Something’s wrong, something’s wrong).
Trice (Something’s wrong).
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Something’s wrong (Ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-ueh-uah-uah-uah-uah-uah)
Camello patagónico Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The intro’s rhythmic vocalizations—repeating “ueh” and “uah”—immediately create an otherworldly atmosphere, signaling that the listener is entering a surreal, possibly nonsensical space. These nonverbal sounds serve as a ritualistic chant, setting the tone for the hallucinatory journey that follows.
[Verso 1]
El Cuarteto de Nos begins with a montage of disjointed, almost Dadaist images: flying nuts, rolling bricks, and nervous spoons. These elements evoke instability, tension, and silent chaos. The scarecrow filled with nests listening to a silent drum suggests a post-apocalyptic or dreamlike stillness, where meaning is obscured and conventional logic is abandoned.
[Verso 2]
This verse continues the surreal cascade with contradictions—webs made of sugar and salt, burning pianos under the sea, and octopuses trying to extinguish fire with dry black dew. El Cuarteto de Nos leans into poetic dissonance to depict a reality where the impossible becomes the norm, reinforcing the song’s refrain that something is profoundly amiss.
[Pre-Estribillo]
The image of a statue of “la cantante calva” (a nod to Ionesco’s absurdist play La Cantante Calva) singing, while empty cages flutter over her hair, amplifies the surreal tone. El Cuarteto de Nos points to a world devoid of freedom and meaning, where expressions are fossilized and liberation is only hinted at through absence.
[Estribillo]
The haunting chant “algo anda mal” emerges as the central motif. Repeated like a mantra, it encapsulates the emotional core of the song—a creeping awareness that the world is out of joint. The cyclical repetition mirrors the inescapable nature of this unease.
[Verso 3]
This section is filled with dense literary and artistic references—from Frida Kahlo and Jorge Luis Borges to Kafkaesque figures and metaphysical spaces. El Cuarteto de Nos constructs a collage where broken symbols (a thorn necklace, pendulums, glass ties) point to fractured identities and unreachable truths. The final line—Godot still waiting in the Library of Babel—merges Waiting for Godot with Borges’ infinite labyrinth, emphasizing existential futility and infinite search.
[Pre-Estribillo]
Here, El Cuarteto de Nos blends surrealist imagery with Latin American literary icons—mentioning “relojes blandos” (Dali’s melting clocks), flowers from Honolulu, and characters from Julio Cortázar’s Historias de cronopios y de famas. The dancing in a bed suggests chaos as celebration, where time and identity blur in dream logic.
[Estribillo]
The chorus returns, more urgent with each repetition. The nonsensical nature of the verses only amplifies the truth in the simplicity of “algo anda mal.” It’s a cry from within a symbolic nightmare, pointing not to a single cause but a collective feeling of disorientation.
[Puente]
This bridge is a surrealist feast: the “cadáver exquisito” drinks new wine, Magritte’s pipe figure loses his hat, and a fish dissolves while a Spanish Civil War bull bites a surrealist dog. Lovers meet and kiss inside Ubú Rey, and from Paz’s Laberinto de la Soledad, the world momentarily feels better. El Cuarteto de Nos fuses disjointed, high-art references to present a strange utopia nested in madness—only to pull us back into the chorus of unease.
[Outro]
The outro reinforces the central motif with layered repetition of “algo anda mal” and vocalizations. As the song concludes, the unresolved dissonance lingers. El Cuarteto de Nos leaves the listener suspended in a world where absurdity is not the exception but the fabric of reality.
