THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Three Might Be Duende. Wiki/Interpretations:Three_Might_Be_Duende. Duende defined[edit] I'm not usually one for interpreting songs but this struck me as particularly interesting, and I'm kind of excited about it, so I figured I'd share.

As those who have read the page for the song (or the wikipedia page about "duende") already know, duende is not infrequently considered the most difficult word to translate from Spanish to English, owing to its nonliteral meaning and a bunch of associated feelings.
