Quieres que te llame
Quieres que te llame
Quieres que te llame
Me pide que yo te llame
Me das tu teléfono
¿Y cómo nos vamos a ver?
Te llame el lunes, te llame el martes, miércoles y jueves también
Entre todas las llamadas perdidas por eso no te llame el weekend
No me gusta molestar,(oh oh)
Pero te quise llamar (oh, oh)
Mala mía ma te voy a dejar un mensaje babe
Usualmente no soy así pero no lo pude evitar desde que yo vi
Aquel material rellenando el jean
Se ve que le estas dando bien duro al gym
Sigo pensando aquí recordando como tú me bailabas
Tú sandungueando yo maquineando uff, lo dura que tú estabas
Voy directo a la raíz
Si no ofende lo que he dicho perdone miss
Yo hablo claro negro blanco yo no voy con mi color gris
Me pide que yo te llame
Me das tu teléfono
¿Y cómo nos vamos a ver?
Si tú no contesta el celular
Me pide que yo te llame
Me das tu teléfono
¿Y cómo nos vamos a ver?
Si tú no contesta el celular
'Omb'e no, conmigo se quiere hacer la importante
Pero sigo bien campante
Estoy más solicitado que los empleo en la calle!
Pero con el destino choco
Y a la nena que me pone bien loco
Viste mami que pequeño es el mundo
La vida te cambio en segundo
Baby girl (Facilito, ma', mira cómo te encontré)
Vamo hacer, mi numero sale registrao'
Parece que a mí tú me ha pichao'
Como un pal de veces te he llamao'
Y tú no contesta el cellular
Baby girl, (Dime, baby, dime lo que me va hacer)
Vamo hacer, mi numero sale registrao
Parece que a mí tú me ha pichao
Como un pal de veces te he llamao'
Y tú no contesta el cellular
Quieres que te llame (quieres que te llame)
Quieres que te llame
Quieres que te llame
Quieres que te llame
Me pide que yo te llame
Me das tu teléfono
¿Y cómo nos vamos a ver?
Si tú no contesta el celular
Me pide que yo te llame
Me das tu teléfono
¿Y cómo nos vamos a ver?
Si tú no contesta el celular
The song "El Celular" by Daddy Yankee is about a man trying to reach a woman he is interested in through her cell phone, but she does not answer. The lyrics express his frustration and disappointment with her lack of response, despite his persistent efforts to reach her. He recounts how he has called her repeatedly throughout the week, hoping to arrange a meeting or date with her, but to no avail. He also acknowledges that he does not want to be a nuisance to her, but his attraction to her is too strong to ignore.
The song can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is that it reflects the difficulties of modern dating, where communication is often reduced to impersonal text messages or social media interactions, and where people's attention is split between multiple devices and apps. Another interpretation is that it speaks to the theme of unrequited love, where one person's desire for another is not reciprocated or acknowledged. In both cases, the cell phone becomes a symbol of connection and disconnection, of proximity and distance, of hope and frustration.
Overall, "El Celular" is a catchy and upbeat reggaeton song that showcases Daddy Yankee's signature flow and Caribbean flavor. It was released in 2018 as part of his album "Dura" and quickly became a hit in Latin America and beyond. Its music video, directed by Marlon P, features Daddy Yankee and other dancers performing in a colorful urban landscape, surrounded by neon lights and graffiti. The video has amassed over 1 billion views on YouTube as of 2021.
