Grammar:

• Tú me partiste el corazón

  ➔ Preterite (Past Simple) tense; Use of indirect object pronoun

  ➔ "Partiste" is the past simple form of the verb "partir" (to break). "Me" is the indirect object pronoun, indicating that *you* broke *my* heart (the heart being the direct object).

• Pero, mi amor, no hay problema, no no

  ➔ Use of "hay" (impersonal form of "haber") to express existence; double negation

  ➔ "Hay problema" means "there is a problem." "No hay problema" means "there is no problem." The repetition of "no" emphasizes the negation. "Mi amor" is a term of endearment.

• Ahora puedo regalar Un pedacito a cada nena

  ➔ Modal verb "poder" (can/to be able to) + infinitive; Preposition "a" indicating recipient.

  ➔ "Puedo regalar" means "I can give away." "A cada nena" means "to each girl." The preposition "a" is crucial to indicate the indirect object.

• Si desde el principio siempre estuve pa' ti

  ➔ Preterite Imperfect tense; preposition 'para' used to indicate recipient/beneficiary ('for you')

  ➔ "Estuve" (short for "estaba") is from the imperfect subjunctive form of the verb "estar," to be, and shows a continued action. The shortened form "pa'" is a colloquial contraction of "para."

• Te gusta estar rodando por camas ajena'

  ➔ Use of "gustar" with indirect object pronoun; present continuous-like structure (estar + gerund)

  ➔ "Te gusta" literally translates to "it is pleasing to you," but means "you like." "Estar rodando" uses "estar" and the gerund "rodando" (rolling, in this context, sleeping around), expressing the action of sleeping around is pleasing to them.

• Muito obrigado, pa' ti ya no hay

  ➔ Use of Portuguese phrase within a Spanish song; Contraction 'pa' for 'para'; Negative expression 'ya no hay'

  ➔ "Muito obrigado" is Portuguese for "thank you very much". "Pa' ti ya no hay" means "for you, there is nothing anymore."
