Esplín Lyrics

[Verso 1]
Y si quieren damos un vistazo de lo que hay alrededor
Una calma chicha grita un silencio ensordecedor
(Ja, ja) Esperando el momento
(Ja, ja) Del huracán sin viento
No será la primera ni la última vez

[Verso 2]
No me voy a hacer el sorprendido, ya nos conocemos
Como un lazo familiar que sin hablar nos entendemos
A veces sanar es aprender a convivir
Con lo que nunca vamos a curar

[Pre-Estribillo]
(Yu-uh-uh) (Yu-uh-uh)
Una bomba de tiempo
Respirando y latiendo
Imposible desactivar
Tic-tac, tic-tac (Boom)

[Estribillo]
Ahí vuelve, el esplín ya lo siento
Clavando su estaca por dentro
Dejando el temblar en silencio
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Y otra vez todo roto (Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)
Y otra vez todo roto (Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)

[Verso 2]
Cuando se va, parezco exorcizado
Como si hubiera un demonio liberado
¿Cuánto va a durar? No lo sé decir
Solo sé confiar en lo que aprendí
Volver a pegar pedazos de mí
Mirando el futuro a los ojos

[Verso 3]
(Ja, ja) Y aunque lo crea superado
(Ja, ja) Este desorden controlado
Eso es pura autoestima
Que parezca fuerte no quiere decir que nada me lastima

[Pre-Estribillo]
Una alarma insistente
Resonando impaciente
Imposible de silenciar
Bip-bip, bip-bip (Ah)

[Estribillo]
Ahí vuelve, el esplín ya lo siento
Clavando su estaca por dentro
Dejando el temblar en silencio
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Y otra vez todo roto (Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)
Y otra vez todo roto

[Puente]
(Yu-uh-uh)
Este dañino visitante
Entre mil grietas instalado
Hurgando en mis profundidades
Y en mis lugares más lejanos
Pero lo veo en retirada
Desde mis parches descocidos
Y aunque sé que no lo he vencido
Esta batalla la he ganado
(Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo)

[Estribillo]
Ahí vuelve, el esplín ya lo siento
Clavando su estaca por dentro
Dejando el temblar en silencio
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Y otra vez todo roto (Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)
Y otra vez todo roto (Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack)
(Oh, oh)

[Outro]
Ey, Baudelaire
Voilá

Esplín Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
El Cuarteto de Nos begins by setting a deceptively calm scene—one where silence is oppressive and the anticipation of emotional turbulence looms. The juxtaposition of quiet and violence evokes a dormant state of distress that the narrator has learned to expect. The line “del huracán sin viento” reflects how emotional storms can be felt without outward signs, embodying internal chaos masked by stillness.

[Verso 2]
Here, the band acknowledges the familiarity of this emotional state, likening it to an unspoken yet intimate connection. Rather than feigning surprise at its return, the narrator recognizes it as an enduring part of their reality. The insight that healing sometimes means coexisting with what can’t be cured reveals a mature, if painful, acceptance of psychological scars that may never fully fade.

[Pre-Estribillo]
This section introduces the metaphor of a ticking time bomb—an emotional crisis that pulses beneath the surface. The “tic-tac” sound, followed by a sudden “boom,” dramatizes the unpredictable but inevitable resurgence of pain. It emphasizes how the narrator lives in constant anticipation of breakdown, heightening the tension and urgency within the song.

[Estribillo]
The chorus captures the visceral return of the esplín, described as a physical intrusion that drives silent suffering. The repetition of “crack” mimics the fracturing of the self, suggesting both emotional and psychological shattering. El Cuarteto de Nos uses rhythmic breakdowns and fragmented sound to reflect the internal disintegration triggered by depressive episodes.

[Verso 2]
In this verse, the departure of the esplín is portrayed as a moment of temporary relief—akin to exorcising a demon. The narrator doesn’t know how long this peace will last but relies on learned coping mechanisms to begin reconstructing their identity. There’s a hopeful turn here: resilience becomes an act of looking forward while slowly reassembling broken parts.

[Verso 3]
El Cuarteto de Nos challenges the illusion of stability, revealing that controlled disorder and apparent strength can mask vulnerability. Self-esteem, they argue, often camouflages pain rather than erasing it. This admission brings depth to the narrative, reminding listeners that inner battles are often hidden behind brave facades.

[Pre-Estribillo]
A new auditory metaphor replaces the bomb: an impatient alarm impossible to mute. This reinforces the relentlessness of the esplín, which announces its arrival loudly and persistently. The imagery conveys emotional urgency and the inability to escape from the mental noise of anxiety or depression.

[Estribillo]
The repeated chorus intensifies the emotional weight of the esplín’s return. The imagery of something stabbing from within, paired with silence and fragmentation, shows how the suffering is both intensely personal and isolating. The cracks echo again, suggesting that this isn’t a singular event but part of a repeating cycle.

[Puente]
The bridge delivers a turning point in the narrative. The esplín is described as an invasive guest lodged deep within, touching every hidden and fragile part of the narrator. Yet, for the first time, El Cuarteto de Nos introduces a sense of triumph: while the esplín hasn’t been defeated, the narrator has won a battle. The image of victory from patched wounds offers a raw but empowering moment of defiance and survival.

[Estribillo]
The final chorus maintains the emotional tension but is now underscored by the narrator’s acknowledgment of resilience. The repetition remains, yet the listener now understands it within the context of endurance and an ongoing fight rather than helplessness alone.

[Outro]
The closing line, “Ey, Baudelaire / Voilá,” is a direct nod to the poet who popularized the concept of “spleen” in 19th-century literature. It’s both a recognition of artistic lineage and an ironic gesture that marks the completion of this emotional episode—one among many in a continuing existential dialogue.
