    Hi!

    Yes, it makes sense; what happens is that the subject+verb+object order has been changed to object+subject (which has been left out)+verb:

    "Niña, ya niña (ella) no será" ---------------------> "Girl {niña}, she won't be {ella no será}a girl {niña}anymore{ya}" ("ya no"=not any longer").

    I hope it's clear if not, just let me know, ok?

    Yeah, I guess it must be quite confusing for non native speakers
