O ma gosh thanks so much! there is a lot of slang i dont understand in reggaeton songz.
can you tell me what:
Giales
Pelon
Machucando
atabajo
and Cangri (what DY says a lot)
thanks so much! i know not all might be slang, but they arent in the dictionary lol thanks!
-Giales ('Gial' for singular)- This means 'girls'. I am 90% sure this comes from a Spanish adaptation to the pronunciation of 'girl' in Patua. Listen to Temperature by Sean Paul when he says "Oh lord, girl I got the right tactics to turn you on" to hear it clearly.
-Pelon- The only meaning I know is 'bald'
-Machucando- Means 'smashing'. This is an allusion to the way people dance reggaeton (smashing the girl's rear).
-atabajo (correct spelling is hasta abajo)- go down, or to go down. Usually yelled at girls, or to a couple so they go as low as they can.
Cangri- A person that is respected. Equivalent to saying 'tha man'. This is strictly Puertorican I think.
I hope that clarifies a little . If you want, look for more, I am glad to help...
thanks so much! i have been wondering about those for a while lol
No problem! Post any others if you like, i'll be happy to help...
i dunno if these or slang or what but how bout
asicala, janguar, no te me ajores, vacilar, bocina(from gasolina alone ) what EXACTLY do they mean when they say toma and dame and dale? ive just been guessing... and rozar, perrear, puyo, wateque
yo se que a ti te gusta cuando estamos envueltos? i know you like it when we're {what}?
que tu eres la demente? that your dementeD?
acicala'(acicalada)- well groomed, dressed nicely.
janguear- from the English 'hang out'
no te me ajores- do not be scared, don't be alarmed. They say 'ajores' in the song to make it rhyme with 'mejores' but its really 'no te me azores'.
vacilar- to have fun
bocina- the speaker
toma- take it (the man offers his stuff)
dame- give me (woman asking for the man's stuff) lol
rozar- to rub
perrear- to dance reggaeton. Girl in front facing away, her butt rubbing against the guy's groin. If you want to see how most girls dance it http://media.putfile.com/Konzuelo_Hasta-El-Suelo. Now imagine you are back there. THATS PERREO!
puyo- 'muevete ese cu.. por ahi mismo yo te puyo' means 'move that 4$$, thats where you will get plugged' lol
wateque (guateque)- could mean different things. It can mean 'party'. The expressions 'darte wateque' means practically the same as 'have sex' or 'have a lot of fun with you".
yo se que a ti te gusta cuando estamos envueltos - 'I know you like it when are wrapped around each other'
que tu eres la demente- not clinically insane. He means that she does things that no one else does, thats why he likes her...
There you go, amazing what these guys come up with haha!

-eso ehh
- presea (sp)- in lo que paso, paso
-sonando
-escapularios
-hudo (sp)- 'muevete hudo' in a ricky martin song lol
eso ehh (eso es) - equivalent to saying 'that's how i like it'
presea - from the English 'press'. Pression from someone to a point that it gets annoying (as in your girlfriend constantly being on top of you). He says 'presea dale presea' as a dare to the girl.
sonando- this alone means 'sounding'. If you give me the whole phrase I can see if it is used in a different sense.
escapularios- religious necklaces with the image of a saint ==click the link to see one: http://www.lexpress.fr/info/monde/do...scapulario.jpg
hudo: the song really says 'muevete duro' which means 'move it hard'
thanks!the sentence was 'ya va sonando' it is a song title.
Oh
The song says "My cannon is already starting to sound". That is, he has started attacking by means of his lyrics...
What is the meaning of Bellon...Bellón? in Daddy Yankee's song? I think i've got the rest translated OK, but I don't know PR slang. HELP!
ur on point with this stuff thanx! lol
The US Dollar is the official currency of Puerto Rico. Locally, they call a quarter 'peseta', and a nickel 'bellón'.
thanx arux... i'll prolly have more questions later
can you tell me what these mean?
mus
donkeo
Ojitos
Jangueo
and Eliel (sp) (Don Omar says it a lot)
Thanks!
i've come across some of those words while translating... but ANYONE is welcome to correct me (please).
Mus- a goodlooking guy
ojitos- kind of an endearing term for eyes, like cute litle eyes...
Jangueo- I hang out, from the verb "Janguear"
Eliel- i do believe that is the name of the man Don Omar sings for.
i have NO idea what Donkeo is...
once again, if any of this is wrong, sorry, but im just tryin to help. Corrections R great!
Thanks! what do u usually use for translating?
I use a couple diff pages; you just kind of have to sort thru them to get what you want. Do you speak spanish? becuase some of the definitions are in spanish only.
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/...cc.html#indice
http://www.canariasreggaeton.com/diccionario.html
http://www.urbandictionary.com/
if you've got any more Q's, i'd be glad to answer them. U just might need a real Boricua for some of the slang tho.
Donkeo comes from the English word dunk (basketball). The song is a metaphor describing his superiority with respect to the other artists.
I am not Boricua, I am Cuban, but I live in Miami and I am surrounded by them. I also I go to reggaeton parties every week.
