Thank you for your time.

Hi:

Your "fan" is poor in writing but smart on slang. She wrote: chale mi rey. buena la rola, te keda vien. la de te quiero puta, muy a tu estilo. Translated into Spanish, it goes this way:

-chale = Hey, or Hell (it's sort of a hello with this generation.

-mi rey = mi tío or "man", "friend" like "yo man" used to be.

-buena = it's good

-la rola = the song (somewhat derived from rock n roll) roll => rola (so it's a good song, a good beat, a good tempo).

-te keda vien = Te queda bien (you know that "v" and "b" have the same prononciación. And "k" is short for "qu"; she meant that the song suits you well; it defines you; it's resembles you.

la de = la parte que dice, the part that says... This is not slang, it's only a short expressión. It's also common in French (celle qui... = the one of or the one that...

te quiero puta = I love you, b... (I love you babe is almost the same but less vulgar then the female dog.)

(So she refers to the part that says: I love you sweethaeart (yes I'm older than her and more romantic) and she adds that that sentence is "muy a tu estilo" = "very likeness of you".

It depicts (portrays) your style.

She's a fan! She said: Hey man, this song is good. It's resembles you. The part "I love you babe" portrays your style.

You know what Circo-loco, the translation is quite difficult and tasteless. It is for sure, poor Spanish, horrid spelling and low class words that are not worth translating. Clearly, someone I would not care to be friends with. An insult to Spanish!

thanks anyway. Muchas gracias. Que tenga un buen dia.

No problem! Stay away from low class Spanish. If you are trying to learn a new language, learn it the right way! - farallon7, Jan 5, 2012
@fara: in all fairness, las palabrotas should be learned too, but never encouraged... :) - cristalino, Jan 5, 2012

@Carhl:

-chale = Hey, or Hell (it's sort of a hello with this generation)


I have always understood this slang to mean, simply: "No" = very close to its cousin nela (canela) and its anglicized relative no way, José...


wink

Hi and welcome to SpanishDict!

This is very hard to read, even for farallon, a native speaker. You know, all I can make out is puta, which is enough for me. I don't understand why she said te quiero puta...why is she calling you a puta?!
