    So I can say, "Toca ésa canción," even though I'm talking to a person whose musical talent is pressing an MP3 player button? I thought that was only for people who play instruments.
    no, that's only to play like when they're playing the song with instruments. for that it would be "pon"

    Thanks dmoney. I thought I remembered a difference. Are you sayin' pon is for putting on a song and toca is for playing an instrument, or the opposite?

    Hi!

    "Chacos"=nunchaku:

    and I'm not sure, but I reckon that "colta"=colt (revolver)

    I don't know however, what "cucala" means

    Is it make mockery to her or make mockery of her?

    I think Glory used that word (cucar), and several others that I can't understand in "Gata Gargola". She said,

    Yo se que hay machos como tu... cucandola
    Que quieren estar toda la noche... rozandola
    Y si tu piensa que bailando estas cucandola
    En eso yo no caigo pa'... echandola

    What did she mean by that?

    I requested a translation of the lyrics in the lyrics section. If anybody can translate them please let me know.

    in this case:

    Yo se que hay machos como tu... cucandola
    I know there are machos* like you teasing her
    Que quieren estar toda la noche... rozandola
    Who want to stay all night... touching her
    Y si tu piensa que bailando estas cucandola
    And if you think that dancing are you teasing her
    En eso yo no caigo pa'... echandola
    And I don't bielieve it (lit. I don't fall in that) ... throwing out


    machos = have some meanings = male / brave / man who claims to be very masculine, very bold/audacious
    the first love is gone ... am waiting for the last one!!

    reggaeton never was really good. it's not about the lyrics, just the beats because everyone likes to dance it.

    post the lyrics in your own thread, or search for them. unless you just want the phrase "dile al amor" translated which means "tell love" (amor is a pet name for your significant other)
