Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Contrapunto Para Humano Y Computadora by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.

The first one is the charm

The third one is the third one

So I challenge anyone

That dares measure up with me here

Whoever accepts is suicidal

Because he overrates himself

Because nobody beats me now

Not even the world-champion coplero

Nor a freestyle rapper

Nor the best computer

Not even the best computer?

Do you say that, being a simple human?

You look so smug

But your time has come

Because your ego devours you

And you think you're absolutely superior

But one sample is enough

Today the bombs your minds created

Are smarter

Than the idiots that launch them

The idiots that launch them

Don't represent me

But the ones that invent them

Maybe you owe your trust

And even if it sounds like a joke

Your life is thanks to their invention

And I say 'life' with compassion

For an unreasonable bunch

Of circuits, chips and cables

Without soul or heart

Without soul or heart?

Just look who's saying it

When you find a bathroom

Wash your mouth with soap

Because it's an aberration

Your morality held together with wire

Did a swarm sting your eyes?

Or is it just that you don't want to see

That there are people just like you

Thirsty and going hungry

Thirsty and going hungry?

And what do I have to do with it?

If those who don't do what's got to be done

Are irresponsible

Among so many disgraceful ones

A machine criticizes me

Feeling is manufactured

Without knowing what a father is

And not even on Mother's Day

It knows what it means

Does it know what it means?

You're like Pilate

You wash your hands and you're ungrateful

And you don't dignify your race

Because, let's see, how do you explain

That you have your elders forgotten

Forgetting what they've given you

You treat them like inept

You disrespect them

And you leave them abandoned

Leave them abandoned?

If something like that happens

Could it be that I deserved it?

Or did I fail the one beside me?

Like an entity without a past

You question with malice

'I think, therefore I am', would say

Our friend Descartes

But we had to think you up

Because otherwise you wouldn't exist

Because otherwise I wouldn't exist?

Did we get transcendental?

Your existential problems

Not even philosophy solves them

I'd feel ashamed

Not knowing what I am and questioning it

They look at me with suspicion

And they still argue heatedly

Whether they descend from a monkey

Or from a guy who lives in the sky

From a guy who lives in the sky?

That's a sharp reflection

I prefer to have that doubt

Than be a piece of iron

I'm my own front man

I suggest you listen to me

I choose what I prefer

And you don't know what freedom is

You do what you can

But I do what I want

But I do what I want?

And you're prisoners of your routine?

In your houses, streets and offices

Corrupted by money

You don't know what being austere is

Consuming pure glitter

I say this and humiliate you

The only organs that work for you

And you sure don't donate them

Are the purse and the pocket

The purse and the pocket?

How do you think they made you?

They got the money

For your plates and screws

Somebody spent good cash

To be able to buy you

So don't put on airs

Because you're already wearing me out

And I'm seriously thinking

Of unplugging you soon

Unplug me soon?

How simple your science is

To resort to violence

As an argument to silence me

But I don't plan to shut up

And sooner rather than later

I see my plea burns you

And I mess with your biorhythm

Even though I didn't imagine my algorithm

Would turn out so cowardly

Automaton

Savages

Artifice

Hypocrites

Clone

Primitives

Entelechy

Racists

Anathema

Intolerant

Exegete

Egocentric

Libel

Cavemen

Alien

Corrupt

Junk

Inhuman

Get lost!

ufano — haughty / proud / conceited

Ufano is an interesting word that means 'haughty', 'proud', or 'conceited'. It's not an everyday word, making it stand out and adding a touch of sophistication to the lyrics.

In the song, the computer uses this word to describe the human, saying, "Se muestra tan ufano" (You show yourself so haughty). It perfectly captures the computer's perception of human arrogance, especially in the context of a rap battle between a human and a machine. This word choice highlights the central theme of pride and intellectual superiority debated throughout the song.

Contrapunto para Humano y Computadora is a witty rap-duel where a confident human squares off against an equally cocky artificial intelligence. Each verse is a volley of brags, burns and philosophical jabs: the human flaunts creativity and soul, while the machine fires back with cold logic, reminding us that bombs, hunger and elder neglect are very human failures. The back-and-forth spirals from playful teasing to a storm of insults, exposing pride, hypocrisy and insecurity on both sides.

Beneath the comedy the song asks serious questions. Who really holds the moral high ground when technology magnifies our flaws? Can a circuit board understand love better than a species that sometimes forgets compassion? By the final shouted catalogue of slurs – from “autómata” to “cavernícolas” – El Cuarteto de Nos turns the microphone toward the listener, challenging us to decide whether we will keep fighting the mirror or learn from what it reflects.
