Key Grammar Structures
-
Ando tras el Paper, tras la Kieshta en Modo Zombie
➔ Verb phrase 'andar tras' and prepositional phrase 'en modo'
➔ The phrase "**andar tras**" expresses pursuing or being after something or someone. "**Ando tras el Paper**" means "I'm after money/papers". The phrase "**en modo**" indicates a state, manner, or specific way of being or doing something, like "en Modo Zombie" ("in Zombie Mode" or "like a Zombie").
-
No se sabe quien fue si tu cuerpo acaba seco...
➔ Impersonal 'se' and conditional 'si'
➔ The impersonal "**se**" construction ("no se sabe") indicates an action without a specific subject, meaning "it is not known" or "one does not know". The "**si**" introduces a conditional clause, expressing a hypothetical situation or condition for the main clause to be true.
-
Ain't sorry for yo' Loss, haberte comprao' un chaleco.
➔ Compound infinitive 'haber + participio' and informal contractions
➔ The phrase "**haber**te **comprao'** un chaleco" is a colloquial form of "haber**te comprado** un chaleco", using the compound infinitive to refer to a past action ("having bought yourself a vest"). It often functions similarly to a gerund in English, implying "for having bought yourself a vest." "**Ain't**" and "**yo'**" are informal contractions of "am not/is not/are not" and "your" respectively.
-
tu gato cuelga las botas
➔ Idiomatic expression 'colgar las botas'
➔ The phrase "**colgar las botas**" is an idiomatic expression in Spanish, literally meaning "to hang up one's boots". It is commonly used to mean "to die" or, in a broader sense, "to retire" or "to give up" (especially in sports). In this context, it implies death.
-
No me abandona a mi en la maleza
➔ Redundant (emphatic) pronoun 'a mí'
➔ The phrase "**a mi**" is a redundant pronoun used here for emphasis, intensifying the direct object pronoun "**me**". While grammatically the "me" is sufficient, adding "a mí" highlights that the action specifically affects the speaker, conveying a stronger personal feeling or a sense of unfairness/loyalty.
-
Mi cabeza no para de pensar, nada la calma
➔ 'No parar de + infinitive'
➔ The construction "**no parar de** + infinitive" is used to express that an action is continuous or repetitive, meaning "to not stop doing something". "**Mi cabeza no para de pensar**" translates to "My head doesn't stop thinking." The second part "nada la calma" uses "**nada**" as the subject (nothing) and "**la**" as the direct object pronoun referring to "mi cabeza" (it calms it).
-
Solo paro de pensar cuando en la cama me das palmas
➔ Conjunction 'cuando' and verb 'dar' with indirect object pronoun
➔ "**Cuando**" (when) introduces a temporal clause, specifying the time an action occurs. The verb "**dar**" (to give) is used with the indirect object pronoun "**me**" (to me) and the direct object "palmas" (claps/spanks), meaning "when you give me claps/spanks in bed".
-
Te enseño a cortar un Kilo y tú misma te lo sacas
➔ 'Enseñar a + infinitive' and double object pronouns
➔ "**Enseño a** + infinitive" is a common construction meaning "I teach [someone] to do [something]". "**Tú misma**" emphasizes the subject (you yourself). "**Te lo sacas**" demonstrates the use of double object pronouns: "**te**" (indirect object, to yourself) and "**lo**" (direct object, referring to "un Kilo"), indicating "you take it out yourself/you get it for yourself."
-
No me compares con esos, baby, baja de las nubes
➔ Negative imperative and idiomatic expression 'bajar de las nubes'
➔ "**No me compares**" is a negative imperative form ("Don't compare me"). The verb "comparar" is followed by "**con**" when comparing to something/someone. "**Baja de las nubes**" is an idiomatic expression meaning "come down to earth" or "be realistic", implying someone is living in an unrealistic fantasy.
-
No soy ese bobo que bebe y mete la pata.
➔ Relative pronoun 'que' and idiomatic expression 'meter la pata'
➔ The relative pronoun "**que**" is used to introduce a descriptive clause that specifies "ese bobo" (that fool), meaning "who drinks and messes up". "**Meter la pata**" is a common idiomatic expression meaning "to mess up", "to make a mistake", or "to put one's foot in it".
