And Crucita won’t show it

Buddy,

what do you think?

Show me everything that’s happened. Where all the fruit is given.

I’ll take the crew

to show them the way.

If you want a harvest

of your favorite fruit.

But Crazy will plant

Crucita’s seed.

And now,

the seed.

Oh, oh, oh.

Help me, guys.

No, look over there.

And now, Crucita’s seed.

Only Carlos Montequi is missing.

Montequi.

What’s up with you? You’re also crossed.

There’s Padrón.

Luis Vargas,

the smooth one.

Tell me, Santiago Matías.

What’s up with you?

He’s the pimp.

Attention, country.

Attention, country.

Tolentino,

put it on 29.

Key Grammar Structures

• Tú te pones loca cuando bebes la semilla mía.

  ➔ Use of "cuando" + present indicative to express a habitual action.

  ➔ The clause uses "cuando" + present indicative to indicate a repeated situation.

• No, pero tú estás segura que la semilla...

  ➔ Construction "estar seguro de que" + indicative to state a belief.

  ➔ The speaker uses "estás segura que" followed by the indicative to convey confidence.

• Crucita es una mujer que tiene bonito porte.

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by "que" to describe a noun.

  ➔ "que" links the clause "tiene bonito porte" to the noun "mujer".

• Ella llevó un aguacate y Crazy le entró a morderla.

  ➔ "entrar a" + infinitive to indicate beginning an action; indirect object pronoun "le".

  ➔ "le" refers to "Crazy" and "entró a morderla" means "started to bite her".

• Y a la pobre de Crucita solo le dio la semilla.

  ➔ Double object pronouns "le dio" (indirect + direct) to indicate giving something to someone.

  ➔ "le" is the indirect object (to her) and "dio" is the verb "gave"; the direct object is "la semilla".

• Para que nazca.

  ➔ "para que" introduces a clause expressing purpose; "nazca" is in the subjunctive mood.

• Santiago Matías no quiere que su casa sea un lío.

  ➔ Negative desire verb "no quiere" + "que" + subjunctive to express something the subject does not want.

  ➔ "no quiere" is negated; "que su casa sea" uses the subjunctive "sea" because the clause is dependent on a desire.

• Y por eso va a mandar a la Gigi para el río.

  ➔ Future periphrastic "va a + infinitive" to express near future intention.

  ➔ "va a mandar" means "is going to send"; the construction indicates a planned action.
