Un Gatito Me Llamó Lyrics Translation – Tropicoqueta Soundtrack
The songwriter details a story about a persistent guy. A key line is her firm response: “I don’t want a player.” The narrator rejects his offer for a Maldives trip with a sharp “No.”
Yo no quiero un gato-gato que me que me gato-gatoI don’t want a player, player, who just, who just plays with me.
Yo no quiero un gato-gato que me que me gato-gatoI don’t want a player, player, who just, who just plays with me.
Yo no quiero un gato-gato que me que me gato-gatoI don’t want a player, player, who just, who just plays with me.
Yo no quiero un gato-gato que me que me gato-gatoI don’t want a player, player, who just, who just plays with me.
