Calla means 'Shut Up' and is about people who want to know too much. Nice easy going beat.
Musically rich in terms of instrumentation and rhythm (Calla). The chorus says 'what is this!',
"Calla" Written by Juan Formell and performed by Los Van Van.
VOICE 1: What do you think of this, Mariana? I've been telling you for a while now that if I'm talking, you should let me speak. You're a happy and mischievous boy, but none of that gives you the right to interrupt. You're quite curious, and I understand you want to be in the middle of things, but again, if I'm talking and you interrupt, I'll tell you to be quiet. CHORUS: Be quiet, they're not talking to you, be quiet. Be quiet, they're not talking to you, be quiet. VOICE 1: If I'm talking to Juan or Ramón, you stand in front to give your opinion. You already knew that Rosita dumped her boyfriend the day before. You're not interested in discussing any topic; your problem is being able to give your opinion. I'll say it again: if I'm talking, if you interrupt, I'll tell you to be quiet. CHORUS: Be quiet, they're not talking to you, be quiet. VOICE 1: I've been telling you this for a while now. CHORUS: Be quiet, they're not talking to you, be quiet. VOICE 1: Don't interrupt me, my friend. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: I'm warning you because I'm having a conversation. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: You bring up any topic, that's your problem. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: Hush, I'll say it again. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: You already knew yesterday that Rosita dumped her boyfriend. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: Hush, hush, shut your mouth. CHORUS: Hush, they're not talking to you, hush. VOICE 1: Don't mess with Anita and Grisel. CHORUS: Hush, hush, your tongue gets tangled and stuck, hush, hush. VOICE 1: But is that directed at me? CHORUS: Hush, hush, your tongue gets tangled and stuck, hush, hush. VOICE 1: All I want is to give my opinion. (…)
VOZ 1: ¿Qué te parece esto, Mariana?
Hace algún tiempo te vengo diciendo
que si estoy conversando me dejes hablar,
eres un chico contento y travieso
pero nada de eso te da potestad
que eres bastante curioso y comprendo
que en la última quieres estar,
pero otra vez si yo estoy conversando
si interrumpes te mando a callar.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Si estoy hablando con Juan, con Ramón
tú te paras delante para dar opinión,
que si Rosita a su novio dejó
ya tú lo sabías, el día anterior.
No te interesa tratar cualquier tema,
tu problema es poder opinar.
Te lo repito si estoy conversando,
si interrumpes te mando a callar.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Hace algún tiempo te lo vengo diciendo.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: No me interrumpas, mi amigo.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Te lo advierto porque estoy conversando.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Tú tratas cualquier tema, ese es tu problema
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Calla, te lo repito.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Que si Rosita a su novio dejó ya tú lo sabías desde el día anterior.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Calla, calla, cállate la boca.
CORO: Calla, no están hablando contigo,
calla.
VOZ 1: Que con Anita y Grisel no te vayas a meter.
CORO: Calla, calla, que tu lengua se te enreda y se te traba, calla, calla.
VOZ 1: ¿Pero eso es conmigo?
CORO: Calla, calla, que tu lengua se te enreda y se te traba, calla, calla.
VOZ 1: Si yo lo único que quiero es opinar.
