Woooow Dmoney!! I'm quite impressed
I knew gang as "pandilla" or "banda" and old car as "carcacha"; but I guess this changes in other parts of the country or when the ppl grew up in the US and that sort of thing.
Anyway, concerning rifando, that's the meaning I know... but maybe it has another one![]()

Calle 13
I've only heard one Spanish Urban artist that's a lyricist, and that's Calle 13.
Some people say they don't like his songs because they are too vulgar/don't make sense. But the thing is, that's how we speak in Puerto Rico.
And all his songs DO make sense and every line has a point, which is what I love about Calle 13. If you understand what he's saying and all the points he's trying to get across in the songs, you'd grow to love their music.
There's just SO much Puerto Rican slang that I've had to explain even to other Boricuas the meaning and context. The lyrics have amazing poetic flow and imagery. The songs are split between funny/weird/Satirical songs and the serious/political/cultural songs.
An example of how they're misunderstood is "Tango del Pecado" The song's corus translates to
"Three spins of the ram, and *flap* you fell down the trap door. All the perverts dancing on top of volcanic lava, turn up the satanic music. Let's burn in the flames of hell with the devil, because I'm the maximum exponent of sin!"
Yea...they're music was labeled Satanic after this and people freaked out over it. But if you listen to the rest of the song and know of the real life story of the rapper and his relationship, you'll notice it's a LOVE SONG, and all the allusions to hell are because he was called "El Diablo" by the people who thought he wasn't good enough for his girlfriend. So the song is a satire trying to mess/shock his girlfriend's parents.
I think the Spanish Urban genere needs more lyricists like Residente Calle 13, that's the only thing that might save it. -

Okay I'm probably totally being blonde, but I've been thinking and looking for the translation of a couple of lines in the song 'Ponmela'... My friend who knows Spanish said it's got an aweful lot of slang in them so he doesn't understand a word of it... So I'm hoping he's right about the slang and it's not just us being stupid
The lyrics are:
"Mucha cargan,
malda y falda"
Thanks in advance -

Hi Arux im new, and i am dominican, but my spanish horrible, you think you could find the time to help me out with it
and can you translate this for me...
no me ronquen bobolones -
de la ghetto said it lol

Means "don't talk s*** about me idiots". Ronquen comes from Roncar which can mean "to talk s*** about some one" also can be used like "ronka Eliel Ronka" basically "Eliel is the best". Hope this helps!
