Tres Pies Al Gato
Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Sergio Castillo / Pancho y Gloria Varona)


No entiendes nada de lo que te digo
no asimilas que yo lo quiero todo
y que si te interesa andar conmigo
debe ser a mi forma y a mi modo
No has comprendido nada de esta historia
y si rechazas por falso lo evidente
y sigue sin entrar en tu memoria
que nunca me darás lo suficiente

Yo se que lo normal es tu medida
y que lo excepcional te desagrada
si en un alarde me ofreces tu vida
yo no la quiero para mi no es nada

Coro:

Si tu me das dos yo quiero cuatro
me encanta buscar tres pies al gato
si tu me das dos yo quiero cuatro
me encanta buscar
Si tu me das dos, si tu me das dos
si tu me das dos yo quiero cuatro

Lo que llamas amor no me interesa
y no hace falta que te vuelvas loco
por no entender que para tu sorpresa
Todo lo que me das me sabe a poco

No me emocionan esas emociones
quiero todas tus noches o ninguna
y soy tan moderada en ambiciones
que sólo me conformo con la luna

Yo se que lo normal es tu medida
y que lo excepcional te desagrada
si en un alarde me ofreces tu vida
yo no la quiero para mi no es nada

Si tu me das dos yo quiero cuatro...

Si en un alarde me ofreces tu vida
yo no la quiero para mi no es nada





Si tu me das dos yo quiero cuatro...

Overall Meaning

In "Tres Pies Al Gato," Nicole confronts a lover who is not meeting her expectations. She accuses them of not understanding her desires and not realizing that she wants everything. She insists that if the lover wants to be with her, they must be willing to give her everything she wants, in the way that she wants it. The lover's attempts to offer her their life do not impress her, and she refuses to settle for less than what she believes is exceptional.


The chorus echoes Nicole's desire for more, challenging the lover to give her four when they offer two. She enjoys looking for the third way to get what she wants, pushing back against what she sees as normal and mundane. In the second verse, she disparages the lover's attempts at love, claiming they mean little to her. She states that she wants all or nothing and that even though she is moderate in her ambitions, she will never settle for less than the moon.


Overall, "Tres Pies Al Gato" is a song about not settling and insisting on getting everything one desires. Nicole's lyrics convey her determination and independence, refusing to be bound by traditional expectations or norms.
