Grammar:
-
Are you playing? Are you balling?
➔ Present Continuous (Progressive) Tense: Used to describe actions happening now or around now.
➔ The repeated use of "are you" + verb-ing emphasizes the ongoing nature of these activities at the present moment. It poses a direct question about what the subject is currently doing.
-
Girl, you know I'm not gon' be coming
➔ Future Tense with "gon'na" (going to) and Negative Contraction. The use of "gon'" is an informal contraction of "going to".
➔ "I'm not gon' be coming" is a colloquial way of saying "I am not going to be coming." The "gon'" indicates a planned action in the future but in a casual manner.
-
Ven hacia mí, sé mi mamacita
➔ Spanish Imperative and Possessive Adjective: "Ven" (come) is the imperative form of the verb "venir" (to come). "Mi" is the possessive adjective, meaning "my".
➔ "Ven hacia mí" is a direct command, urging someone to come closer. "Sé mi mamacita" asks the person to be 'his' mamacita. "Mi" shows possession.
-
Need a big girl, not a chiquitita
➔ Simple contrast using adjectives. "Big" and "chiquitita" (small) are adjectives used to describe the girl, contrasted by 'not'.
➔ The phrase expresses a preference for a certain type of girl using a simple contrast. "Need a big girl" is followed by the rejection of the opposite, "not a chiquitita."
-
Voy a enloquecer
➔ Spanish Future Tense using "ir a" + infinitive: This construction expresses a future action or intention. "Voy a" means "I am going to".
➔ "Voy a enloquecer" literally translates to "I am going to go crazy." It indicates a strong feeling about to occur in the near future.
-
Hasta que nos caiga la noche
➔ Spanish Subjunctive Mood and Time Clause: "Hasta que" (until) introduces a time clause that requires the subjunctive mood when referring to a future event. "Caiga" is the subjunctive form of "caer" (to fall).
➔ "Hasta que nos caiga la noche" means "Until night falls on us." The use of the subjunctive "caiga" is necessary because the falling of the night is a future event seen from the present.
