Feid and Álvaro Díaz Team Up Again for ‘GATITAS SANDUNGUERAS VOL.1’: English Lyrics
The music video nods to elements of American culture from the 90s
On May 17th, Álvaro Díaz dropped his second studio album, SAYONARA, which explores his own experiences with heartbreak. From the 20 tracks on the album, he chose «GATITAS SANDUNGUERAS, VOL. 1,» his collaboration with Feid, as the lead single. Now, there’s a music video for the track that nods to American culture from the 90s.
Directed by Waiv and Gian, the music video for «GATITAS SANDUNGUERAS, VOL. 1,»gives a playful nod to the sensationalist news portal TMZ, cleverly renamed ‘A&F.com’ (Álvaro and Feid), and also to typical infomercials. There’s also a clear homage to a classic Quentin Tarantino film, Reservoir Dogs; in this case, both artists (and their crew) are portrayed as Reservoir Neas.
Another notable aspect portrayed in this nostalgic reggaeton hit is La Fiebre de Puerto Rico, a significant movement revolving around motor culture, tuning, and speed in the Puerto Rican scene. This includes the distinct VHS aesthetic commonly seen in music videos from that era, as well as references to video games from that time period.
This marks the fifth time Álvarito and Ferxxo have collaborated, following their work on tracks like «A Mi También,» «Llori Pari» (both with Tainy), «Otra vez,» and «CU U U U UX».
In Álvaro’s recent interview with LOS40 Spain, he explained to our colleague Cintia León that «GATITAS SANDUNGUERAS, VOL. 1» came about authentically. He mentioned, “Ferxxo and I are big fans of a specific era of reggaeton. There’s a sound and vibe from that time that we really love and find nostalgic. That’s why we chose to include a song from that era in SAYONARA.”
«GATITAS SANDUNGUERAS VOL.1» Lyrics in English
[Feid]
A slow grind, a slow touch (Yeah)
Let’s go to the dark, hidden away, no one will notice
She drinks and smokes, goes for PAMA and the joint, yeah
Goes out alone and stays awake
Baby, no, don’t stop, yeah
They try to imitate you, babe, but they can’t do it (Yeah)
She found out her guy messed up, said she’s going out tonight
You arrive with your girls, I’ll come with my crew, yeah
You’re touching yourself
I’ve been wanting you all night
From the VIP I’m messaging you
You’re posted in a corner with a short skirt
You keep touching yourself
I’ve been wanting you all night
Quiet, pressed against the wall, yeah
[Álvaro Díaz]
Brrum, brrum
Mommy, you’re running the miles, quickly you find another
Brrum, brrum
And I break you, I break you, I break you without using a pill
In the dark corner to mess with your buckle
She says she’s not wearing panties, damn, she’s tricky
Looks like she’s from Cali, but she’s from Aguadilla
That big booty, mommy, God bless it
Because I reach heaven when I have you on top
I told her I treat all her friends well
And that’s dangerous because they’re all outlaws, -laws, -laws
Mommy, no, don’t stop, yeah
They try to imitate you, babe, but they can’t do it (Yeah)
She found out her guy messed up and said she’s going out tonight
You arrive with your girls and I’ll come with my abnormal ones, yeah
A slow grind, a slow touch
Let’s go to the dark, hidden away, they don’t notice
Drink and smoke, go for PAMA and the joint, hey
Goes out alone and stays awake
Yeah, yeah
It’s Alvarito y FERXXO, Alvarito and FERXXO, Alvarito and FERXXO
Yeah, yeah
It’s Alvarito y FERXXO, Alvarito and FERXXO, Alvarito and FER—
