Verse 1
Love, calm, I'm not going to bother you
My fate was sealed, I already know it
And I know that there's a torrent running through your mind
Or: And I know there's a whirlwind spinning in your mind
Love, our relationship was just a coincidence
The same time, the same boulevard
Don't fear, no care, I don't blame you for the past
Or: Don't worry, it's okay, I don't blame you for the past
Chorus 1
You see, life is like this
Or: You see, that's life
You go and I stay here
Or: You're leaving and I'm staying here
It will rain and I won't be yours anymore
I'll be the cat under the rain
And I'll meow for you
Verse 2
Love, I know, don't say anything, really
If you see a tear, sorry
I know that you didn't want to make a wounded cat cry
Love, if sometime we see each other around
Love, if we ever meet again
Invite me for a coffee and make love to me
And if I don't see you again, I hope you have good luck
Chorus 2
You see, life is like this
You go and I stay here
It will rain and I won't be yours anymore
I'll be the cat under the rain
Chorus 3
You see, life is like this
You go and I stay here
It will rain and I won't be yours anymore
I'll be the cat under the rain
And I'll meow for you

SONG MEANING

La Gata Bajo La Lluvia is a timeless Spanish ballad where Rocío Dúrcal slips into the graceful yet vulnerable skin of a cat caught in the rain. The singer speaks to her departing lover with surprising calm: she knows their meeting was pure chance, she refuses to accuse, and she accepts that fate has already rolled its dice. Still, the image of the “gata bajo la lluvia” paints her sorrow vividly — a lone, wet cat who will keep meowing for a love that is walking away.

Rather than pleading, she offers a bittersweet goodbye. If they bump into each other again, a coffee and one last spark of passion would be lovely, but if not, she sincerely wishes them luck. The song mixes dignity with longing, turning heartbreak into a gentle, unforgettable melody that invites listeners to empathize, sing along, and maybe shed a quiet tear of their own.
