Cara de nada (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don’t expect anything from me, not a trace, not a sign
I’ve always hidden my cards, I’ll never show them
Let everyone speculate with my icy countenance
Not a grimace that incriminates me, nor a gesture that betrays me
[Pre-Chorus]
This is my shell, blessed mask
The facade of my last refuge
Neither sweet nor bitter; Neither happy nor long
They’ll never be sure of what’s going on in my head
[Chorus]
Against the gray that covers everything around
Just me with my face of nothing
Against the fanatical and controlling sermon
Just me with my face of nothing
I know it bothers them not to enter my most sacred fiefdom
Not even reading my mind will they know what I’m thinking
[Verse 2]
They ask you to participate, they demand an opinion
They seek to involve you, they charge you for every reaction
Any trick will do to try to recruit you
If it’s not to convert you, it’s to crucify you
[Pre-Chorus]
Against that pettiness, my inexpressiveness
The poker face that Gaga prophesied
It neither hurts, nor doubts, nor enchants
My face will never be the mirror of my soul
[Chorus]
Against the gray that covers everything around
Just me with my face of nothing
Against the fanatical and controlling sermon
Just me with my face of nothing
I know that they It bothers me not to enter my most sacred fiefdom
Not even reading my mind will they know what I’m thinking
[Post-Chorus]
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
La, la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
[Interlude]
My mind screaming, my blood twitching
Your power and dominion end up colliding with my nothing face
I am the unknown that they study, your reason and your science (Nothing face, nothing face)
While your judgment slips into my indifference
[Chorus]
Against the gray that covers everything around
Only me with my nothing face
Against the fanatical and controlling sermon
Only me with my nothing face Nothing
I know it bothers you not to enter my most sacred fiefdom
Not even reading my mind will they know
Not even reading my mind will they know (Uuh)
Not even reading my mind will they know
(What I’m thinking)
[Outro]
La, la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la, la, la, la, la
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
Nothing face
Cara de nada Lyrics Meaning
[Verso 1]
El Cuarteto de Nos opens with a character who deliberately conceals everything—feelings, intentions, and identity. By keeping his emotional cards hidden, he becomes an enigma, disrupting expectations and avoiding vulnerability. This calculated detachment is portrayed not as weakness but as strategic defense in a world that demands transparency for exploitation.
[Pre-Estribillo]
This section introduces the idea of the “cáscara” (shell) and “máscara” (mask) as sanctuaries. El Cuarteto de Nos emphasizes that neutrality and emotional ambiguity are intentional shields. The artist’s refusal to display internal states becomes a form of empowerment, challenging the notion that emotions must be public to be valid.
[Estribillo]
The chorus reinforces the idea of passive resistance. Against a bleak, conformist world (“el gris”) and controlling ideologies (“el sermón fanático”), the artist wields his blank expression like armor. The “feudo más sagrado” (most sacred stronghold) is the mind, which remains impenetrable—even by those who think they can read it. It’s a powerful declaration of mental sovereignty.
[Verso 2]
In this verse, El Cuarteto de Nos critiques the pressure to participate in public discourse, express opinions, and react constantly. The lines describe how people are coerced into taking sides, with silence or neutrality often punished. The protagonist’s refusal to engage becomes an act of resistance, rejecting both conversion and condemnation.
[Pre-Estribillo]
Revisiting the theme of detachment, the second pre-chorus likens the expressionless face to a prophetic mask—recalling Lady Gaga’s “póker face.” This adds a pop-cultural layer while reinforcing that the artist’s external demeanor is not reflective of his internal reality. His expression is not a mirror of the soul but a calculated barrier.
[Estribillo]
The chorus returns, reiterating that this blank expression is a powerful response to societal noise and fanaticism. El Cuarteto de Nos expresses frustration that others cannot decode the artist’s inner world, revealing the discomfort people feel when they can’t categorize or control someone.
[Post-Estribillo]
The repetition of “cara de nada” becomes almost hypnotic—a chant that reclaims indifference as identity. The nonsensical “la-la” lines evoke detachment from meaning and signal a withdrawal from rational engagement with the outside world, emphasizing internal focus.
[Interludio]
Here, El Cuarteto de Nos unveils the emotional storm beneath the still surface. The artist’s mind screams, his blood boils, yet all of that clashes against the unwavering “cara de nada.” The contrast reveals how the mask conceals intense resistance. The protagonist becomes a mystery unsolvable by logic or power, his indifference making judgment powerless.
[Estribillo]
This final chorus expands the song’s emotional stakes. The artist insists that even mind-reading can’t pierce his mental fortress. Repeating “ni leyéndome la mente sabrán” intensifies the defiance, drawing a sharp line between appearance and thought. It’s an unyielding stand for inner autonomy.
[Outro]
The outro combines musical playfulness with the mantra-like repetition of “cara de nada.” By this point, the phrase transforms from passive descriptor to active identity—an emblem of control, silence, and unbroken interiority.
