💬 Spanish uses hacer for weather in some expressions: hace frío, hace calor. Literally it's "it makes cold/heat," but you use it where English says "it's cold/hot."
💬 The apostrophe in quiere' shows dropped s in the lyric; the usual form is quieres. Also, quedarte means "to stay" because te is attached to the end of the verb.
💬 Te va' is the lyric spelling of te vas, with the final s dropped. This kind of drop is common in Caribbean singing, but learners should keep the full form in normal Spanish.
💬 Ya often means "already" or "now/already now," depending on context. Ya me aburrí is more like "I'm bored now" or "I'm over it already," not just plain me aburrí.
yah meh ah-boo-REE oy kee-EH-roh oon toh-TEE-toh ee-NEH-dee-toh heh
I'm bored now, today I want an unprecedented totito, heh
💬 Ya no means "no longer / not anymore," while plain ya often means "already" or "now." Compare ya me aburrí = "I'm over it already" with ya no quiero = "I don't want to anymore."
💬 Hacerle caso a alguien means "listen to / pay attention to someone," not literally "make case." The le points to the person: hazle caso a tu amiga, no le hago caso a nadie.
💬 Hazle caso is a set phrase for "listen to them / take their advice." You'll hear the same structure with other people: hazle caso a tu mamá, háganle caso al doctor.
💬 Romperte packs two pieces together: romper + te, "break" + "your/you." Spanish often attaches object words to the end like this: decirte, besarte, ayudarte.
💬 Enamorarse de is the pattern for "fall in love with": me enamoré de ella, no te enamores de mí. The apostrophe in enamore' shows dropped s; standard Spanish is enamores.
💬 Así means "like this / this way." You can point to manner the same way with así hablo ("that's how I talk") or no se hace así ("that's not how you do it").
💬 The repeated no here adds insistence, like "don't, seriously." Spanish often repeats short words for emphasis in speech and songs: no, no, sí, sí, ven, ven.
💬 Ya no means "not anymore" or "no longer," not just "already no." You can reuse the pattern with other verbs: ya no tengo tiempo = "I don't have time anymore."
