Y No Hago Mas Na'

Today with Karen we played LyricsTraining with this song Y No Hago Mas Na' by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.


The lyrics contain a lot of reflexive verbs as a review of the past few weeks. It's a salsa about a man who basically is taken care of by his wife. According to Karen, he is a mantenido, which is not a favourable description. He is basically a kept man. Lyrics are always good for learning new words and new expressions. Here are a few from this song:
  • hamaca - hammoc
  • platicar - charla (entre con amigos)
  • pegar - to paste
  • se me pega el sueño - I'm sleepy
  • pegarle a alguien - crash or hit someone
  • enseguida - right now (ahora mismo)
  • doblado el lomo - work hard 
  • huelga - strike or protest
  • cupones - literally coupons, but means welfare
