Key Grammar Structures
-
Sé que no se olvida mi cara
➔ Pronominal/Impersonal 'se' for unplanned occurrences
➔ The "se" here is used in a construction where the action is presented as happening without a clear agent or as an unplanned event. It implies that "my face is not forgotten" or "my face won't be forgotten," emphasizing the lasting impression without specifying who does the forgetting. It's often called the "se accidental."
-
Le gusta andar con la que manda
➔ Verbs like "gustar" + Relative pronoun "la que"
➔ "Le gusta" uses the indirect object pronoun "le" (to him/her/it) with the verb "gustar" (to please), meaning "He/She likes". "La que manda" is a relative clause acting as a noun phrase, meaning "the one who rules/is in charge".
-
Va a golpearse fuerte queriendo tener mi vida
➔ Periphrastic future ("ir a + infinitive") + Reflexive verb + Gerund of manner/reason
➔ "Va a golpearse" uses the periphrastic future ("ir a + infinitive") to express a future action, combined with the reflexive verb "golpearse" (to hit oneself). "Queriendo" is a gerund, indicating the manner or reason for the action: "by wanting" or "while wanting to have my life."
-
Lo que quiere de mí no lo tiene
➔ Neuter relative pronoun "lo que"
➔ "Lo que" functions as a neuter relative pronoun, meaning "that which" or "what." It refers to an abstract idea or an unspecified thing, acting as the subject or object of a clause. Here, "Lo que quiere de mí" means "What she wants from me."
-
La tengo rezándole a to’ los santos
➔ Idiomatic construction "Tener a alguien + gerund"
➔ This is an idiomatic expression meaning "to have someone doing something," similar to "I have her praying to all the saints." The direct object pronoun "la" refers to "Esa shorty," and "rezándole" is the gerund of "rezar" (to pray) with an attached indirect object pronoun "le" (to him/her/it, referring to the saints).
-
Esperando a que me caiga pa dar el salto
➔ "Esperar a que + subjunctive"
➔ The verb "esperar" (to wait) often takes "a que" followed by the subjunctive mood when the action of the second clause is anticipated or desired. "Me caiga" is the present subjunctive of "caer" (to fall), indicating an uncertain or future event from the perspective of waiting. "Pa" is a colloquial short form of "para" (in order to).
-
Tu nene se pasa llamando
➔ Idiomatic expression "Pasarse + gerund"
➔ "Pasarse + gerund" is an idiomatic construction meaning "to spend too much time doing something" or "to keep doing something excessively." Here, "se pasa llamando" means "he keeps calling" or "he spends too much time calling."
-
En serio te crees que yo con vos compito?
➔ Reflexive verb "Creerse" + Voseo
➔ "Creerse" (to believe oneself) is used reflexively here, implying "Do you *really* believe (in your own mind/delusion) that...". "Vos" is the Voseo form of "tú" (you), commonly used in Argentina (where Nicki Nicole is from) and other parts of Latin America, conjugated with "pensas" (instead of "piensas").
-
Ni volviendo a nacer un día serán como yo
➔ "Ni + gerund" (negative emphasis) + "Volver a + infinitive"
➔ "Ni volviendo a nacer" is a strong negative construction meaning "Not even by being born again." "Ni" adds emphasis to the negation, and "volviendo" is a gerund indicating the condition. "Volver a + infinitive" means "to do something again," so "volviendo a nacer" means "being born again."
