what does callate la boca mean in english

Literally it means "shut up your mouth"
"Calla" = shut, "te" = your, "la boca" the mouth
basically it's telling someone to shut up
my coach speaks spanish and he tells us that a lot ha ha

The verb is "callarse". Literally "callate la boca" translates as "quiet the mouth" meaning "be quiet" (informal command); "callate" alone is sufficient, meaning, essentially, "you be quiet!"
