-
Tú me está' buscando porque estoy caro, bebé, mhm.
➔ Present Progressive (Estar + Gerund) with Informal Contraction
➔ ''Está''' is an informal contraction of ''estás'' (from ''estar''). The construction ''estar + gerund'' (estás buscando) describes an action happening at the moment of speaking or an ongoing action.
-
No se te ha quita'o lo de malvada.
➔ ''Lo de'' Construction & Reflexive ''se'' (Impersonal/Passive with Indirect Object)
➔ ''Lo de'' + noun/adjective refers to ''the matter/thing of...'' or ''the characteristic of...''. Here, ''lo de malvada'' means ''that wicked side of you''. ''Se te ha quita'o'' (se te ha quitado) is a common construction for things that ''come off'' or ''go away'' from someone, often impersonal/passive.
-
Si te lo vuelvo a meter.
➔ ''Volver a + Infinitive'' (Repetition of Action)

-
Quiere que le dé oyendo a KAROL, “MAÑANA SERÁ BONITO”.
➔ Subjunctive after Verb of Volition + Gerund
➔ ''Quiere que le dé'' uses the present subjunctive ''dé'' because the main verb ''querer'' (to want) expresses desire towards an action performed by a different subject. ''Oyendo'' is the gerund (present participle) of ''oír'' (to hear), indicating the manner of the action.
-
Por eso es que te lo metí.
➔ ''Por eso es que'' (Emphasis on Reason/Cause)

➔ Reflexive Verb ''Reírse'' + Imperfect Tense + Idiomatic Expression ''Ni a Bala''
➔ ''Reírse'' is a reflexive verb meaning ''to laugh.'' ''Decía'' is in the imperfect tense, indicating a past, ongoing, or habitual action. ''Ni a bala'' is an informal idiom (especially Colombian) meaning ''no way,'' ''not at all,'' or ''not even if you forced me.''
