Si estás pensando en discotecas carros y diamantes
➔ Present continuous 'estás pensando' + preposition 'en'
➔ This uses the present continuous tense ("estás pensando", you are thinking) to describe an ongoing mental activity. The preposition "en" is used to indicate what you are thinking *about*.
-
Entonces puede que pa' ti sea insignificante
➔ Subjunctive mood ('sea') after 'puede que'
➔ The phrase "puede que" (it may be that) expresses doubt or uncertainty, which triggers the use of the subjunctive mood in the following verb, "sea" (is).
-
Pero se pasa bien rico
➔ Impersonal 'se' + verb 'pasar'
➔ The impersonal "se" indicates that the action (passing the time) is not attributed to a specific subject. It's a way of saying that time is spent in a pleasant way without specifying who is doing the spending.
-
Y si en la casa no alcanza pal' aire
➔ Conditional 'si' clause + verb 'alcanzar' (to be enough)
➔ This is a conditional sentence that sets up a condition using "si" (if). "Alcanzar" means 'to be enough'. The line translates to 'And if there isn't enough for air conditioning in the house'.
-
Te pongo abanico
➔ Verb 'poner' + direct object 'abanico' (fan)
➔ "Poner" here means 'to put' or 'to give'. "Te pongo abanico" literally means 'I put a fan for you' or 'I'll give you a fan', implying providing a fan for comfort.

Yo no tengo pa' darte ni un peso
➔ Negative construction 'no tengo' + preposition 'pa' (para)' + infinitive 'darte'

-
pero sí puedo darte mis besos
➔ Use of 'sí' to emphasize affirmation after a negative statement
➔ The word "sí" is used here to emphasize the contrast between the negative statement (not having money) and the positive one (being able to give kisses). It acts as an emphatic 'yes', indicating that although he lacks material wealth, he *certainly* has kisses to offer.
-
Pa' sacarte yo tengo poquito
➔ Contraction 'Pa'' (para) + infinitive 'sacarte'
➔ "Pa'" is a colloquial shortening of the preposition "para", meaning 'for' or 'to'. "Sacarte" is the infinitive form of the verb "sacar" (to take out), with the pronoun "te" attached to the end, meaning 'to take you out'. The whole phrase means 'To take you out, I have little [money]'.
