The other day a kitty called me

He told me that he liked me, he told me that I was cute

And that I should send him a pic, and I said, "No"

The other day a kitty called me

He told me that he liked me, he told me that I was cute

And that I should send him a pic, and I said, "No"

And he kept calling me, and calling me, and calling me, and calling me

And he called me, and I don't know what happened to him

And he kept calling me, and calling me, and calling me, and calling me

And he called me, what a motherf*cker, so annoying

Oh, no, how annoying

I don't want a cat that bothers me

I don't want any of that sh*t, I don't want hassle

You're so intense, how much do they pay you per hour?

You have me and the answering machine tired

Babe, don't call me, what a drag

I want a girlfriend that gets me off the chair

And that dances with me until we break our knees

Why do you call me? You know that I'm slick

Slick, slick, slick, slick

Why do you call me? You know that I'm slick

Slick, slick, slick, slick

Why do you call me? You know that I'm slick

The other day a kitty called me

He told me that he liked me, he told me that I was cute

And that I should send him a pic, and I said, "No"

The other day a kitty called me

He told me that he liked me, he told me that I was cute

And that I should send him a pic, and I said, "No"

Says

Kitty

Don't call me, no, just no

Kitty

Don't call me, no, just no

A kitty called me

He invited me to the Maldives

He thought that he was going to buy me

And I said, "No"

pilla — sly / cunning / street-smart

Pilla is a fantastic word that means 'sly', 'cunning', or 'street-smart'. It describes someone who is clever, resourceful, and not easily fooled, often with a playful or mischievous edge.

In the song, KAROL G declares, "Sabes que soy pilla" (You know I'm sly/street-smart). She uses this word to assert her independence and wit, letting the persistent 'gatito' know that she sees through his attempts to impress or manipulate her. It's a memorable word that captures a strong personality trait and is not an everyday vocabulary item, making it perfect for learning.

Ever dealt with someone who simply will not take a hint? In "Un Gatito Me Llamó," Colombian star KAROL G tells a persistent guy to leave her alone. The song kicks off with a boy calling her up to shower her with flattery: "Me dijo que le gustaba, me dijo que estaba cuchi / Y que le mande fotico, y dije, 'No'" ("He told me he liked me, he told me I was cute / And to send him a little photo, and I said, 'No'"). In Caribbean and Venezuelan street slang, cuchi means "cute" or "sweet," while gatito (literally "little cat") is used here as playful slang for a guy hitting on her. When sweet-talking fails, he dials her number non-stop. She even jokes about his relentless persistence: "Tú eres tan intenso, ¿cuánto te pagan la hora? / Me tienes cansada a mí y a la contestadora" ("You are so intense, how much do they pay you by the hour? / You have tired out both me and the answering machine").

Instead of wasting her time on an annoying guy—or as she bluntly calls him, "qué hijueputa tan cansón" ("what an annoying jerk")—she makes it clear that she would rather go out and dance with her girlfriends until their knees give out. Fancy perks will not win her over either; when he tries to tempt her with a trip overseas, she shuts it down immediately: "Me invitó pa' las Maldives / Pensó que me iba comprar / Y dije, 'No'" ("He invited me to the Maldives / He thought he was going to buy me / And I said, 'No'"). It is a funny, direct track all about setting firm boundaries and laughing off unwanted attention.
