Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Ya me cansé de mentirte si ando en la loquera

I'm tired of lying to you when I'm acting crazy

Veinte putas que me bailan y sin tanta crema

Twenty bitches dancing for me and without much cream (attention)

No hay pedo si hay feria

No problem if there's money

La liga arriba del tablero no era de mi jefa

The league up on the dashboard wasn't my mom's

Era de la puta que troné para las viejas

It was from the bitch I dumped to get with the older ladies

Ni modo, princesa

Too bad, princess

La neta, la neta, me mama mi vida nueva

The truth is, the truth is, I love my new life

Los negocios, ser la estrella y también tanta pinche feria

The business, being the star, and also so much damn money

Me mama la vida recia

I love the tough life

La neta, me caga cuando te pones de necia

The truth is, I hate when you get stubborn

No estés chingando que si ando en la calle, que te valga verga

Stop bothering me about being in the streets, it's none of your damn business

Nos vemos, princesa

See you later, princess

Grammar:

• Ya me **cansé de** mentirte si ando en la loquera

  ➔ Reflexive Verb + de + Infinitive

  ➔ The structure "cansarse de" means "to get tired of" doing something. It uses a reflexive verb (cansarse) followed by the preposition "de" and then the infinitive of the action (mentirte).

• Veinte putas que me bailan y sin tanta crema

  ➔ Relative Clause with Omission of Relative Pronoun

  ➔ The phrase "Veinte putas **que me bailan**" could be written as "Veinte putas **que me están bailando**" The relative pronoun "que" introduces the clause that describes the putas. In colloquial Spanish, the use of the verb "bailar" instead of the periphrastic form "estar + gerundio" is very common.

• No hay **pedo** si hay feria

  ➔ Use of Idiomatic Expression "No hay pedo"

  ➔ "No hay pedo" is a colloquial Mexican Spanish expression that means "no problem" or "it's okay". Its usage is informal and should be used with caution depending on the context.

• La liga arriba del tablero no era de mi jefa

  ➔ Imperfect Tense (era) to describe a past state

  ➔ The imperfect tense "era" indicates that the state of belonging to someone or being in a certain condition was ongoing in the past. It emphasizes the description rather than the completion of an action.

• La neta, la neta, me mama mi vida nueva

  ➔ Use of "Me Mama" as a Colloquial Expression of Liking Something

  ➔ "Me mama" is a very informal and colloquial way of saying "I love" or "I really like" something. It's stronger than "me gusta" and is used in informal settings. It's considered vulgar in some contexts.

• Me mama la vida **recia**

  ➔ Adjective 'recia' modifying 'vida'

  ➔ The adjective "recia" means tough, strong, or intense. It modifies the noun "vida" (life) to describe the type of life the speaker enjoys.

• La neta, me **caga** cuando te pones de necia

  ➔ Use of "Cagar" as a Colloquial Expression of Dislike

  ➔ "Me caga" is a very informal and vulgar way of saying "I hate" or "I really dislike" something. It's stronger and more offensive than "no me gusta" and should be used with extreme caution.

• No estés chingando que si ando en la calle, que te valga verga

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood in an Indirect Command and Colloquial Expression

  ➔ "No estés chingando" uses the subjunctive mood because it's an indirect command or request. "Que te valga verga" is a very vulgar expression meaning "it's none of your business" or "I don't care what you think". The use of subjunctive is very complex, but in this case, we are using it for a negative informal request.
