[English]

Tell me, Rauw, when are we going out?

To get things going, quickly.

Rauw Rauw

Tell me, man, speak clearly.

Are you ready or not?

Speak clearly, tell me.

I'm ready here, recording everything, what's up?

Yo, Rauw is Rvssian.

Yo, bro, pull up, bro.

Let's go to Jamaica.

Let's go to the beach, jet skis.

You know, let's do everything.

Crazy, smoke some weed.

Man, jeez, you're totally lost, dude.

And you know El West misses El Zorro.

Let's hit the streets today, I've got a couple of girls.

Hey, answer the phone, man.

Hello, God bless you.

Look, young man, when are you coming home?

It's been a while since I've seen you.

Hello, Rauw, man, I'm doing really well.

I was wondering if you could lend me some money.

And I'll pay you back next week.

Hey, speak up… it's simple.

The crew is ready to take over the streets today, so…

Hey, tell me Rauleeto.

What's up with that nosy guy?

Is he going to keep testing us?

Let him just back off.

Send him our current location and see if he dares to come to the heat.

Key Grammar Structures

• Dímelo, Rauw, ¿cuándo salimo'?

  ➔ Imperative mood, interrogative sentence structure, informal 'salimos' (we go out)

  ➔ The sentence is a direct command to Rauw asking when they will go out. The use of the imperative mood and the informal verb conjugation indicates a close relationship between the speaker and Rauw. The pronoun 'nosotros' is implied in 'salimos'.

• Papi, je, tú 'tás bien perdío', cabrón

  ➔ Informal address ('Papi', 'cabrón'), use of 'estar' for temporary state ('perdido' - lost), colloquial language.

  ➔ This line uses very informal and even slightly aggressive language. 'Tú 'tás' is a contraction of 'tú estás' (you are). 'Perdío' means lost, but in this context, it implies someone is confused or out of touch. 'Cabrón' is a strong insult, but can also be used playfully among friends.

• Mera, contéstame el teléfono, cabrón

  ➔ Use of 'mera' as a filler word/interjection, imperative mood, informal address ('cabrón').

  ➔ 'Mera' is a common filler word in some Spanish dialects, similar to 'um' or 'like' in English. The sentence is a direct command to answer the phone, again using the informal 'cabrón' which adds a sense of urgency or frustration.
