Chula, qué bellos ojos

Girl, what beautiful eyes

Ven, dime si andas con tu vato, soy cero celoso

Come, tell me if you're with your man, I'm not jealous at all

Pregunto por mañoso

I ask because I'm slick

Me miente y me hago el tonto

She lies to me and I play dumb

Dice que eso es especial, pero yo soy el otro

She says it's special, but I'm the other one

En su culo lo noto

I notice it in her ass

Porque a la hora que llama no es nada normal

Because when she calls, it's nothing normal

Vi que me pusiste otro nombre en el Whats'

I saw that you put another name for me in the Whats'

Loquita, tú me usas pa portarte mal, pa portarte mal

Crazy girl, you use me to misbehave, to misbehave

Si supiera' que por tu culpa me la paso desvelado

If you knew that because of you I spend the night awake

Que tú me llamas cuando se va ese pelado

That you call me when that dude leaves

Y yo me jalo

And I take off

Mami, me encantas, dime qué tranza

Mami, I love you, tell me what's up

Si supiera' que por tu culpa me la paso desvelado

If you knew that because of you I spend the night awake

Que tú me llamas cuando se va ese pelado

That you call me when that dude leaves

Que en corto yo me jalo

I quickly take off

Mamita, tú me encantas, solo dime qué tranza

Mamita, I love you, just tell me what's up

Que yo me voy p'allá, me voy p'allá

That I'm going over there, I'm going over there

Me dices: "Ven p'acá, vente p'acá"

You tell me: "Come here, come here"

Y ahí te voy p'allá, me voy p' allá

And I'm going over there, I'm going over there

Bien desvelado, pero le caigo

Really tired, but I show up

Tú di que voy p'allá, me voy p'allá

You say I'm going over there, I'm going over there

Me dices: "Ven p'acá, vente p'acá"

You tell me: "Come here, come here"

Y ahí te voy p'allá, te voy p'allá

And I'm going over there, I'm going over there

Bien desvelado, pero le caigo

Really tired, but I show up

Y esto es Grupo Frontera

And this is Grupo Frontera

Key Grammar Structures

• Ven, dime si andas con tu vato, soy cero celoso

  ➔ Imperative form (Ven, dime), Conditional Clause (si andas con tu vato), adjective + ser + adjective (soy cero celoso)

  ➔ "Ven" and "dime" are imperative forms. The "si" clause introduces a condition. "Soy cero celoso" describes the speaker's state using "ser" with adjectives.

• Me miente y me hago el tonto

  ➔ Reflexive verb usage (me hago), present simple tense

  ➔ "Me hago el tonto" uses the reflexive verb "hacerse" to mean "I play dumb". The action is performed by and on the subject.

• Dice que eso es especial, pero yo soy el otro

  ➔ Indirect speech (Dice que eso es especial), Contrast with "pero"

  ➔ "Dice que eso es especial" reports what someone says. "Pero" signals a contrasting idea.

• Porque a la hora que llama no es nada normal

  ➔ Subjunctive mood implied (reason for calling), "nada" as an indefinite negative

  ➔ The implication is that the reason for the call is not normal, suggesting a need to use the subjunctive in other contexts. "Nada" emphasizes that it is "not at all" normal.

• Si supiera' que por tu culpa me la paso desvelado

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive (supiera'), consequence of an unreal condition

  ➔ "Si supiera'" introduces a hypothetical situation. The imperfect subjunctive indicates that the speaker doubts the other person knows this information. It implies "if she knew, but she doesn't."

• Que tú me llamas cuando se va ese pelado

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (se va). Use of 'que' after 'supiera' to start the subordinate clause.

  ➔ The use of the subjunctive "se va" could indicate uncertainty about when the other man leaves, or an emotive judgement. The "que" connects the clause to the previous statement of the unreal conditional.

• Y ahí te voy p'allá, te voy p'allá

  ➔ Informal Future Tense (voy p'allá), repetition for emphasis

  ➔ "Voy p'allá" is a colloquial way to express the future, similar to "I'm going over there." The repetition amplifies the intention.

• Bien desvelado, pero le caigo

  ➔ Adverb (bien) modifying adjective (desvelado), use of 'pero' for contrast, verb phrase 'le caigo' expressing presence or arrival

  ➔ "Bien desvelado" uses "bien" to intensify the adjective "desvelado" (very sleep-deprived). "Pero le caigo" expresses that despite being tired, the speaker still shows up. "Le caigo" means something like "I show up on him/her," implying an arrival or presence.
