What does this mean ? "Pequeña, hechate pa'ca"

Question

I listen to a lot of Latin music and in almost every song from Elvis Crespo he says:

Pequeña, hechate pa'ca.

Answer 1

Pequeña = small or little one, female in this case, no doubt similar to "shorty" in urban lingo....

Hechate = from the verb hechar echar (thanks JC!) but in this case, to move on over, to get closer, to relocate....

para acá = per Q, over here....

So, something like: little cutie, move on over here (next to him, obviously)

Just my take!

Pequeña, echate pa'ca.

Girl/shorty/little one come this way/near me etc.

Darn, you beat me to it. - 0074b507, Aug 2, 2011

Answer 4

Little girl, come over here.

PS: The first word is misspelled. It should be échate

Answer 5

Not sure of the meaning of the phrase, but pa'ca can be an abbreviation for para acá.

I'm wondering if that is a misspelling for échate pa'ca.

Answer 7

I´m agree with chileno, about the literal translation, but the real meaning is like, "Hey cute, come here!"

Here "pequeña" it is not about a little girl, instead of that, it´s about a young woman

Cheers!
