…. or was it the only string? Literal translation.
Context is needed.

The only sane one?

[Stu]

The only sane one


Would fit in context


Something like
Are you crazy or am I the only sane one


I can’t see how to get there from

Because the adjective "cuerdo(a)" comes from the noun "cordura" (sanity), which is derived from Latin "cordis" (heart), not "chorda" (string).
