Gramática:

• Me llamo la morocha

  ➔ Reflexive verb construction with indirect object pronoun

  ➔ The verb "llamar" is used reflexively (llamarse) to mean "to be called". "Me" is the indirect object pronoun indicating that the action of being called is directed at the speaker. Literal translation could be "The brunette calls herself to me".

• Para sanar la herida

  ➔ Infinitive phrase expressing purpose

  ➔ "Para" + infinitive (sanar) expresses the purpose of an action. Here, the purpose is to heal the wound.

• Por el ex no se llora

  ➔ Impersonal "se" construction

  ➔ The impersonal "se" indicates that the subject performing the action is unspecified or irrelevant. It translates to something like "One doesn't cry for the ex" or "You don't cry for the ex".

• Para que se de cuenta todo lo que se pierde

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in a subordinate clause expressing purpose

  ➔ "Para que" introduces a subordinate clause expressing the purpose. The verb "de" (from "dar") is in the subjunctive mood because the purpose is hypothetical or uncertain. The full phrase means: "So that he/she realizes all that he/she is losing."

• Y si de superar

  ➔ Conditional "si" clause with omitted verb (implying "se trata de")

  ➔ This phrase is elliptical. It implies "Y si se trata de superar..." meaning "And if it's about getting over it...". The verb "se trata de" is often used to express what something is about.

• Un trago saca otro clavo

  ➔ Figurative language: metaphor

  ➔ This is a common saying. "Clavo" literally means nail. Here, it is a metaphor for a painful memory or experience (the ex). One drink helps to remove another painful memory.

• Nasty me voy a poner

  ➔ Future tense with reflexive verb and "a" + infinitive

  ➔ "Voy a + infinitive" is a common way to express the near future. The reflexive pronoun "me" indicates that the action is performed on oneself. "Ponerse" means "to become".

• Te doy tu funeral

  ➔ Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns

  ➔ "Te" is the indirect object pronoun (to you). "Tu funeral" is the direct object (your funeral). The speaker is giving *you* your funeral.
