No Quiero Ser Un Cantante Lyrics in English by Sen Senra
Calité is a colloquial, shortened form of the Spanish word "calidad," meaning "quality." It's a unique and somewhat playful way to express high quality, often used in informal contexts or to emphasize authenticity.
In the song, Sen Senra sings, "Poco y de calité" (A little and of quality), highlighting his preference for substance over quantity. This word choice reflects a humble yet confident approach to his craft, valuing genuine excellence over widespread fame, which aligns with his desire to be "algo mejor" than just a singer.
Sen Senra spends the whole song refusing the job title everyone hands him. 'Bajo a la calle y me escucho en carros' [I go down to the street and I hear myself in cars] is as much fame as he wants, because the hook says it plainly: 'No quiero ser un cantante, quiero ser algo mejor' [I don't want to be a singer, I want to be something better].
What that something better looks like gets specific and a little ridiculous. He wants small portions of the good stuff instead of piles of the ordinary kind, 'Poco y de calité' [A little, but high-quality], and name-drops a Kenzo ad and a pair of Margiela sandals right alongside 'La alfombra es de Marrakech' [The carpet is from Marrakech], like status symbols picked at random. Thirst becomes a punchline that won't quit, 'Mucha sed, pues champaña' [Very thirsty, so champagne], repeated past the point of meaning anything, right before an ex named Luis gets written off in one line: 'Luis, ya ni me manda tu oferta' [Luis, don't even send me your offer anymore]. By the time he says 'Voy a partirla al medio' [I'm going to smash it], the song isn't explaining itself anymore. It's just riding the beat, chanting 'okay' until it fades out.
