hey sorry i didnt answer, i was actually on vacation in boston and didnt have access to a computer
but going back to a topic, thanks again all you guys for all the lyrics
the radio station is awsome too! thank you so much!
Wow - this thread is going to be (and already has been) very helpful to me! Here's a couple for now, although I'm sure I will be back with more frequently.
pegao
merengues (not sure how it's spelled, but it was used as in "aqui merengues" and my best guess is like "aqui llegamos" or "aqui estamos")
Pegao can mean different things, depending on the context... 'Bailar pegao 'means dance closely, tightly. However if you say that an artist 'está pegao' it means that he is very popular, that his songs are played everywhere.
and hey i was wondering if u could help me outt..im not sure if this is slang but in a lot of reggaeton songs, artists tend to use 'ao' words, por ejemplo besao or atrapao. can u tel me what they mean and what tense of spanish words they are?
sacale todo el sudor= make her sweat
sueltate = get loose
vamos pa encima= lets get to it, let's do it
pegate = get close
The words that end in 'ao' are almost always real words that end in 'ado'. The reason is that in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, etc, people tend to not pronounce the letter 'd' in words that have the 'ado' ending. For example, they say 'cansao' instead of 'cansado', 'quemao' instead of 'quemado'... There are many similar cases like 'lo' instead of 'los', 'lapi' instead of 'lapiz'. Notice that the alteration is just verbal, they do not write the words without the' d' or the letter they omit.

Its amazing how much slang has been made. I'm Mexican from the capital and my spanish is more like how english is taught in the States. I can usually figure out most of the words they use in reggaeton, but sometimes its like they change the meaning of a word completely. Mexico is starting to use the slang more and more from the islands given how reggaeton is becoming more popular here. Even in New York (where i live right now) i dont encounter all the slang used. AND New York has the biggest population of puerto ricans and dominicans. I would go to the latin clubs in NYC, but im very white mexican. My nickname when i was little and still living in Mexico was gringa. In the city, they dont like if youre light/fair skinned. Plus I have money, and they dont like that either. This is why I mostly hang out with the Spanish kids in manhattan because most of them look similar to me and have money as well.
Well tht ought to suck! But thanks... this clarified alot of words I didn't understand! *Kinda hard here in holland to ask about your slang cuz there aren't a lot of puerto ricans, cubans or dominicans!*
ok so i don't know exactly how to spell it or anything, but in some of Don Omar's songs, a girl says like 'suelta con monga vete'. i know that is probably totally off of what they are really saying, but do u know what they are saying and what it means?
Well, my name is andy and I come from Chile (South America)
I can tell you that a lots of slangs appear here I dont know what they mean, and I speak spanish too! The reason is because these slangs come from America Central, and they are others slangs that in south america we donīt use. In Chile we have a lots of slangs too, very very much, and many parts of southamerica dont understan us, because we unshort the words and we speak very quickly. Almost anybody understand us! jeje
Hey... i just wanted to thank all of yall for translating this stuff... i know spanish but the slang is ridiculous and its so hard keeping up when im not around it constantly. Arux, im so jealous... im in Miami all the time i love it... id move there in a heartbeat... but being in Miami do you go out alot? what clubs do you go to for, that arent so touristy?
So you never answered, what EXACTLY can dale mean to a Puerto Rican?? I've heard it used in many different ways, to mean many different things. Im still confused, but you can normally catch on with the sentence.
Sorry... I haven't been here in a while. Hmmm where did you get the expression 'can dale' from? It doesnt mean anything lol. Maybe it sounds like that, but by hearing those words the only thing that comes to my mind that sounds similar is "don dale".... Can you tell me where you got it from so I have a context?
LOL!! No, not "can dale"....the word "DALE". Like in the song from Don Omar, yes, but i've heard it can mean a lot of different things, depending on the way you use it. What can it all mean??

Haha that's funny. "Dale Don Dale" means "GO, Don GO". Dale can also mean 'hit it', as in 'dale golpes'. But in this case, it is just an incitation to Don Omar to 'do his thing (good music)', so that the girls can dance (pa que se muevan las yales).
Ahh, I see. I've understood, from the puerto ricans I hang out with, that dale can mean, go ahead, do it, try it, just like everything. Like if I were to say, "Im going to smack you" they would say "Dale cabronna!" Lol. I dunno, its a weird word.
And...Thank you! =)

Y yo reconozco una cosa que...quizas pasara el tiempo y que no encuentre con quien compartir pero seguire luchando, pero a esta guerra tuya y mia, yo no le puedo decir mas que si seguire mi camino, sigue el tuyo. Adios.
And I recognize one thing that... perhaps it will pass the time and I won't find who to share it with but I will keep fighting, but in this war of yours and mine, I will not tell you more about if I will continue on this path. Continue on yours. Goodbye.
