CNCO Ya Tú Sabes (You already know) - quick translation
Baby, I had already told you
I was going to a friend’s house (male friend)
We were relaxed, we were chilling
Baby, I was doing my thing
Damn, I wonder why is it
I can tell you’re stressed
And it’s (because) your jealousy is strong
And you’re intense, you need to calm down
And baby breathe
And they told you I’m getting laid, babe, and that’s a lie (it rhymes)
It’s your friends (female friends), babe, because they don’t like me
I’m not hiding anything so why are you being so intense
You’re wrong and you’ll see it
“If you’re not indebted you’re not afraid” (it rhymes) (it’s a saying)
Check my phone if you want
“If you’re not indebted you’re not afraid”
Check my phone if you want
Baby, you already know, you already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password (just in case this is not literally, it’s like in a “if you want it so much” energy)
Baby, you already know, you already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password
Baby, check it, take your time, analize it
Like the FBI, the CSI, go on, investigate
Because you won’t find anything, everything’s normal ("all cleared” or like a police person would say if they don’t find anything idk)
You can search and search, there’s nothing
If you don’t trust me I’m sorry for you
You’re the one who’s making a mistake
If you don’t trust me I’m not going to continue (the relationship)
Jealousy can defeat love
“If you’re not indebted you’re not afraid”
Check my phone if you want
“If you’re not indebted you’re not afraid”
Check my phone if you want
Baby, you already know
You already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password
Baby, you already know
You already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password
“you aready know~ yeah” “aye, look man i’m gonna tell you something” “uh huh” “these people are all like ‘this and that’ (blah blah) but... tell them, tell them erick” “I think she already knows... cnco baby” “it’s something like fustin vistin o tonstin (this is something richard and his family say when something is very cool doesn’t mean anything as far as i know it’s something like “is this fustin, vistin or tonstin?” “is this great great or great?” but very inside joke of him), it’s something like that but... you already know”
Baby, you already know
You already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password
Baby, you already know
You already know
I give you my phone for the weekend with no password
(other translation could’ve been “if you don’t owe anything you’re not afraid of anything” or “if you’re not in the wrong you’re not scared”)
me vuelvo loco is a WHOLE bop i really like it and the boys look hot as hell in the music video....despite the fact that it’s lowkey problematic.
now before y’all go freaking out on me: i’m not cancelling anybody or hating on the boys. but like i think it’s important for us to recognize that being in a mental institution isn’t something to be taken lightly.
last month, i had a friend who was going through a crisis and had to be institutionalized for a weekend after i took her to the ER so that she wouldn’t hurt herself. i myself am on medication for my depression and anxiety. and people with psychosis are much more likely to hurt themselves than others. and the me vuelvo loco video perpetuates negative stereotypes against all these things.
i’m not saying that you can’t enjoy the song or the video, but just be conscious of how this video further marginalizes folks with mental illnesses and disabilities.
i’m just sad cause the song is actually good & catchy but the video just ruins it. i know we joke about the boys having one brain cell but i really feel like they should know better. they could have done a similar idea with like a girl making them crazy seeing her in everything, tv, playing cards, etc. WITHOUT the mental hospital & straight jackets like wtf who’s idea was this & who approved it?!
the boys are at a very important time in their career, they should be avoiding doing anything problematic at all. who in their management allowed this to happen?!?! i just want to talk.
