La Bebe
Lyrics:
[English]
Quiere que le ponga música
Pa que baile hasta abajo la bebé
Bebimos par de botellas
Y, aun así, recuerda que lo hicimo' ayer
Quiere que le ponga música
Pa que baile hasta abajo la bebé
Bebimo' par de botella'
Y, aun así, recuerda que lo hicimo' ayer
Ayer, ayer
Te movías muy bien, muy bien
Se impregnó el olor de Chanel
Tamos mil grados Fahrenheit
Está buena y de cara bonita
Le pones música y solita se excita
Pa la fiesta nunca se limita
Par de amigas, completa la cuadrilla
Pero tú, mamá, ¿sabes?, me mamas
Loca, ven p'acá, pégate hasta atrás
Nos vamos tú y yo en un viaje fugaz
Interestelar, comerte toda
...

Grammar:
-
Quiere que le ponga música
➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive)
➔ "Quiere que" introduces a clause requiring the subjunctive mood. It expresses a desire or wish. The subject of "quiere" (he/she) is different from the subject of "ponga" (someone else).
-
Pa que baile hasta abajo la bebé
➔ Prepositional phrase + subjunctive (purpose)
➔ "Pa que" (short for "para que") introduces a clause expressing purpose, triggering the subjunctive mood in "baile".
-
Bebimos par de botellas
➔ Preterite tense (Past Simple)
➔ "Bebimos" is the preterite form of "beber" (to drink). It denotes a completed action in the past.
-
Y, aun así, recuerda que lo hicimo' ayer
➔ Indirect speech with "que"
➔ "Recuerda que..." introduces an indirect statement. The speaker remembers that they did something yesterday.
-
Te movías muy bien, muy bien
➔ Imperfect tense (Past Imperfect)
➔ While it seems like a completed action, the imperfect "movías" here is describing how she used to move, portraying a background action or habitual action in the past. It describes the *manner* of her movement.
-
Se impregnó el olor de Chanel
➔ Passive se construction
➔ The "se" construction here expresses a passive meaning. Instead of saying "The odor of Chanel impregnated [something]", it's saying "The odor of Chanel was impregnated [in something]". It focuses on the action happening *to* the odor.
-
Tamos mil grados Fahrenheit
➔ Slang/colloquial abbreviation
➔ "Tamos" is a slang abbreviation of "estamos". This is informal and common in some Spanish-speaking regions. It's not grammatically *incorrect* per se, but rather an example of dialectical variation and informality.
-
Pero tú, mamá, ¿sabes?, me mamas
➔ Use of Direct Object Pronoun and vulgar language
➔ The phrase "me mamas" uses the direct object pronoun "me" and extremely vulgar language. The verb "mamar" in this context is highly offensive.
