[Español]

[English]

Ahorita ando como quiero, con los Balenciaga

Right now I'm doing what I want, with the Balenciagas

Y un polvito bueno pa empezar la fiesta

And a good little powder to start the party

Que nos amanezca

Let it dawn on us

Clase Azul, el tequilita, no me pide nada

Clase Azul, the little tequila, it doesn't ask me for anything

No me pide nada y eso me apendeja

It doesn't ask me for anything and that makes me dizzy

Me apendeja

It makes me dizzy

Cama y lazo, la nariz helada

Bed and rope, the nose is cold

Yo te cumplo, mija, todo todo lo que quieras

I fulfill you, girl, everything you want

Tas bien buena

You're looking good

Piratita por un lado la plebita

Little pirate on one side, the little girl

La falda cortita, chula la morena

The short skirt, beautiful the brunette

Ta bien buena

You're looking good

Así suena el Neto

That's how Neto sounds

Y la puta doble P, mija

And the double P, girl

...

...

Dos esclava' en la muñeca, los ojos tumbados

Two slaves on the wrist, the eyes droopy

Por el humo blanco y el escapulario

From the white smoke and the scapular

Aquí lo traigo a diario

I carry it daily

Perdidas las tres llamadas, no sé dónde estaba

Lost the three calls, I don't know where I was

Traía el cel sin carga, ella no me cree nada

I had the phone without charge, she doesn't believe me at all

Ella no me cree nada

She doesn't believe me at all

Cama y lazo, la nariz helada

Bed and rope, the nose is cold

Yo te cumplo, mija, todo todo lo que quieras

I fulfill you, girl, everything you want

Tas bien buena

You're looking good

Piratita por un lado la plebita

Little pirate on one side, the little girl

La falda cortita, chula la morena

The short skirt, beautiful the brunette

Ta bien buena

You're looking good

...

Grammar:

• Ahorita ando como quiero, con los Balenciaga

  ➔ Adverbial phrase of manner (como quiero).

  ➔ The phrase "como quiero" expresses the manner in which the speaker is living at the moment. It means "as I want" or "how I want."

• Y un polvito bueno pa empezar la fiesta

  ➔ Use of "pa" (short for "para"). Informal shortening of prepositions.

  ➔ "Pa" is a colloquial shortening of "para" which means "in order to" or "to". It's very common in informal speech and song lyrics.

• Que nos amanezca

  ➔ Subjunctive mood with "que" expressing a wish or hope.

  ➔ The phrase "que nos amanezca" uses the subjunctive mood to express a wish that the party lasts until dawn. The "que" introduces the subordinate clause expressing the desire.

• Tas bien buena

  ➔ Shortened form of "Estás bien buena". Omission of the verb "estar" for brevity.

  ➔ The phrase is a compliment, meaning "you are very attractive." Dropping the "estás" is common in casual speech.

• Dos esclava' en la muñeca, los ojos tumbados

  ➔ Elision (apostrophe used to show missing letter): esclava' instead of esclavas.

  ➔ The apostrophe indicates that the 's' has been omitted from 'esclavas' to fit the rhythm and style of the song. It is a common phonetic reduction in informal speech and regional dialects.

• Por el humo blanco y el escapulario

  ➔ Use of "por" to indicate cause or reason (because of the white smoke).

  ➔ "Por" is used here to explain the reason why the speaker's eyes are "tumbados" (droopy, relaxed, or possibly high).

• Traía el cel sin carga, ella no me cree nada

  ➔ Imperfect tense (traía) to describe a past state or condition. Use of "nada" after negative "no" to reinforce the negation.

  ➔ The imperfect "traía" describes the ongoing situation: he *had* the phone without charge. The double negative "no me cree nada" means "she doesn't believe me at all."
