[English]

NASCAR flow racing through my mind

I was your favorite, now you’re cold like Alaska

All in black, matching my black card

Wasting my time trying to get you to want me back

Trying to buy your forgiveness with Dior, Dior, Dior

Tell me, what happened, babe? Why don’t you love me anymore?

I keep reaching out, but no, no, you don’t answer me now

Just tell me where you are

You’re still running through my mind

Saying in songs what I can’t say to your face

I’ve been around the world, let me tell you

You know you’re missed, the dark circles don’t lie

I’m still up in the city that never sleeps

Lying with someone else, wondering who you’re with

I loved you so much, baby, what bad luck

I’m everywhere, but you don’t want to see me

What bad luck, yeah

You make me (yeah, yeah)

Feel more than usual (yeah, yeah)

This is paranormal (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You make me (yeah, yeah)

Feel more than usual (yeah, yeah)

This is paranormal (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I don’t want anything else, just to rewind

Back to when we did it all in the backseat

Babe, tell me the truth

I’d hop in a DeLorean just to find you again

’Cause I don’t want anything else, just to rewind

Back to when we did it all in the backseat

Babe, tell me the truth

I’d hop in a DeLorean just to give it another shot, yeah

...

Ah

...

So many girls in the VIP, ah

But everyone’s got their eyes on you, ah

Always the main character, never an NPC

They say your guy can sing too, but he’s little league, ah

I haven’t deleted any of our memories, ah

I still have flashbacks of when I gave you

I’ve thought about sampling you in my MPC

You know drunks tell the truth, and I’ve had a couple sips

I know you’re kinda freaky, wild life like Ricky

Kinda flirty, kinda picky

Not into anyone, shorty’s picky

Hit me up, I’m in your city

Smoking like a hippie

Hit me up, I’m in your city

Smoking like a hippie

Hit me up, I’m in your city

...

Key Grammar Structures

• [translate:Yo era tu favorito, ahora estás fría como Alaska]

  ➔ Use of 'era' (imperfect tense) vs. 'estás' (present tense).

  ➔ 'Era' shows a continuous or habitual past state ('I used to be your favorite'), while 'estás' expresses a current situation ('you are cold now').

• [translate:Gastando mi tiempo en que tú me quieras pa'trá']

  ➔ Gerund 'gastando' and subjunctive 'quieras' after 'en que'.

  ➔ 'Gastando' expresses continuous action ('spending time'), while 'quieras' is subjunctive due to expression of desire or uncertainty ('that you would love me back').

• [translate:Dime, ¿qué pasó, ma? Que no me quieres má']

  ➔ Use of imperative 'dime' and present tense 'quieres'.

  ➔ 'Dime' (tell me) is an imperative form with clitic pronoun 'me'. The phrase shows direct conversation.

• [translate:Tú dime dónde estás]

  ➔ Direct command with inversion for emphasis.

  ➔ Putting 'tú' before 'dime' emphasizes the person addressed ('you, tell me').

• [translate:He dao la vuelta al mundo]

  ➔ Present perfect with auxiliary 'he' and participle 'dado'.

  ➔ 'He dado' means 'I have given' or 'I have gone around'; it connects past action to present relevance.

• [translate:Sabes que se te extraña]

  ➔ Passive-like construction with 'se' and indirect object 'te'.

  ➔ 'Se te extraña' means 'you are missed'; it's an impersonal expression without explicit subject.

• [translate:Tanto que te quise, nena, qué mala suerte]

  ➔ Use of preterite 'quise' to express completed emotion.

  ➔ 'Quise' (I loved) uses the preterite to show that the love is finished, unlike the imperfect 'quería' (used for ongoing affection).

• [translate:Esto es paranormal]

  ➔ Demonstrative 'esto' as neutral subject pronoun.

  ➔ 'Esto' refers to an abstract concept ('this situation'), not a specific noun.

• [translate:Y yo no quiero más na']

  ➔ Double negation ('no... más na') in colloquial Spanish.

  ➔ This phrase means 'I don’t want anything else'; 'na' is a contracted form of 'nada'.

• [translate:Ma, dime la verdad]

  ➔ Direct imperative with object omission.

  ➔ 'Dime' (tell me) implies 'la verdad' as the object later; imperative gives urgent tone.
