What does this phrase mean? "Vuélvete a agachar"

Question

"Vuélvete a agachar"

I don't quite understand it and searching around on the web isn't doing much for me. ¡Gracias!

So, I suppose you're looking for the figurative meaning vs. the literal meaning, right? - Goldie_Miel, Oct 2, 2012

Do you have any context? Otherwise, (for me) it'd be impossible to figure out what the figurative meaning is. - Goldie_Miel, Oct 2, 2012

Yes, exactly. - modrak, Oct 2, 2012

"Alguien vio eso en la CNN // Vuélvete a agachar no sabes // Leer, ni escribir, ni querer // Ni poder, es lo que tiene // Tu ya sabes lo que te conviene" It's from a song (Jugadoras Jugadores de Mala Rodriguez). - modrak, Oct 2, 2012

Seems like they're incorporating a childhood song (http://www.guiainfantil.com/servicios/musica/Canciones/patio_de_mi_casa.htm); I'm unsure of the deeper meaning, though. - Goldie_Miel, Oct 2, 2012

This is no innocent song. Believe you me! - francobollo, Oct 2, 2012

Ha, I believe you :) But I wasn't trying to emphasize innocence. More so, that they borrowed a line/format from it. Possibly a reference...etc ;) - Goldie_Miel, Oct 3, 2012

Wait, so this is a dirty lyric? LOL. Oh my god, I have tainted these forums. How embarrassing. And yes, Mala is very vulgar but I really enjoy her music. - modrak, Oct 3, 2012

Answer 1

Have you tried typing the phrase into the box in the top right corner, the one with the magnifying glass? It will probably provide you with what you are looking for.

It doesn't provide me with what I'm looking for. - modrak, Oct 2, 2012

The resources on this site are fabulous! - rheit, Oct 2, 2012

"Go gaga over duck" Yes, truly fabulous! (Just kidding, I greatly appreciate this site. Unfortunately, the search bar fails on this phrase.) - modrak, Oct 2, 2012

Context is everything :) - island_fever, Oct 2, 2012

Answer 2

Letra de la canción de "El patio de mi casa" (Vídeo)

El patio de mi casa

es particular.

Cuando llueve se moja

como los demás.

Agáchate,

y vuélvete a agachar,

que los agachaditos

no saben bailar.

Hache, I jota, ka

ele, elle, eme, a,

que si tú no me quieres

otro novio me querrá.

Hache, I jota, ka

ele, elle, eme, o,

que si tú no me quieres

otro amante tendré yo.

Chocolate, molinillo

corre corre, que te pillo

A estirar, a estirar

que el demonio va a pasar

Aunque posiblemente, leyendo la letra de la canción de La Mala Rodríguez, el sentido sea otro muy distinto :) - Cordobesa, Oct 2, 2012

Estoy de acuerdo. - rheit, Oct 2, 2012

¡Excelente! - --Mariana--, Oct 2, 2012

Answer 3

You can type it into youtube

Answer 4

I found the lyrics online for Jugadoras, Jugadores de Mala Rodriguez

"Alguien vio eso en la CNN / Somebody saw it on CNN

Vuélvete a agachar no sabes / Bend down again, you don't know

Leer, ni escribir, ni querer / how to read or write or love

Ni poder, es lo que tiene / and he has no power".

This song resembles everything but a children's song - francobollo, Oct 2, 2012

I agree! - rheit, Oct 2, 2012

so does youtube!! - island_fever, Oct 2, 2012

Answer 5

I can see this not making sense with an automatic translator. It means "crouch down/bend over again". Considering the context you give, it sounds like the speaker is talking about someone people down in a figurative sense. As la Cordobesa and Goldie_Miel say, it echoes a children's song.

Answer 6

Debes ir a youtube. Mala Rodriguez está allí.

You should go to youtube. Mala Rodrigues is there. - island_fever, Oct 2, 2012
