El Cuarteto de Nos El Cuarteto de Nos

The Unnameable

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no!
No, don't name him, don't name him
No, don't name him, don't name him, no!

Touch wood and burn benzoin
Look who's coming, look who's coming
It's him!, the jinx, the one who stirs up hornets' nests
The one everyone says is a bird of ill omen

His presence ruins any celebration
And every time he's invoked a misfortune occurred
They say it's like that, that's how it was and will be
And that he attracts disasters as if he were a magnet

Don't let him see us, don't let him touch us
Don't let anyone think of greeting
Don't shout his name
Because it calls for fatality

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no!
No, don't name him, don't name him
No, don't name him, don't name him, no!

Everything he touches goes wrong
Just like King Midas, but the other way around
It was him!, they accuse him when something serious happens
But the truth is that no one really knows if he knows

When did his fame begin? How did the rumor spread? Who was the first to stigmatize him?
Because once marked, he will always be pointed out
Whoever becomes stone, stone will die

He will carry that weight all his life
And that weight will end him
And half jokingly, half seriously
He will be the target of a cruel laugh

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no!
No, don't name him, don't name him
No, don't name him, don't name him, no!

It has no explanation and is anti-rational
Like in the inquisition, hunting witches just to hunt
And who says that one won't be as well
Without justification, another unnameable to fear

We hide in a broken sack
The cowardice of not accepting
Blaming others
For the things that go wrong

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no!
No, don't name him, don't name him
No, don't name him, don't name him, no!

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no!
No, don't name him, don't name him
No, don't name him, don't name him, no!

Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him
Don't name him, don't name him, no
