The song "Cat" by A Pink is about a person who is in love with someone but is shy and doesn't know how to express their feelings. The title "Cat" is used as a metaphor for the person's feelings, as cats are known for their aloof nature and ability to hide their true emotions. The song opens with the repeated phrase "Saljjag kung saljjag kung aikung," which roughly translates to "Quiet, quiet, quiet, come here." This could represent the person's desire to approach the object of their affection but their fear of being rejected. The rest of the lyrics continue with this theme, expressing the person's desire to be with the one they love but their hesitation and inability to make a move.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Nan jeongmal jeongmal ah," which means "I really, really do." This could be interpreted as the person acknowledging their true feelings for the other person and expressing their sincerity. The lyrics also mention the night sky and the stars, which could symbolize the vastness of the person's feelings and the depth of their love.
Overall, "Cat" is a sweet and emotional song that is relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the fear of expressing their feelings to someone they care about.
