   • 2008, Idan Raichel, Cada Día:

     Cada día alguien me habla de ti
     intentando sacar el dolor de mi alma
     Cada día alguien me habla de ti
     intentando explicarme que ya no volverás

     Every day someone speaks of you to me,
     trying to quell the pain in my soul
     Every day someone speaks of you to me,
     trying to explain to me that you aren't coming back

• Although an indefinite determiner (which means by definition that it modifies a noun), cada does not undergo any kind of inflection. In other words, its ending will not change to -o when modifying a masculine noun. It remains cada.
