llorando / chillando depending on the context.
llorando / chillando depending on the context.
Partially correct. First, it can be chillando, but is more often a bit like festejando or celebrando. ¨Partying like a rockstar¨, or just being a general ¨badass¨ or cabrón and disfrutando la vida mientras tanto su ex-chica pierde su exito nueveo.
In the second case, when it means llorando, it will be spelled bawling, and normally be pronounced a bit differently. Pronounced a bit more southern or slack or urban, and it will indeed sounds just like ballin. In fact, my own not particularly properly speaking dad would say it like that. ¨Quit yer ballin´´¨ (Quit your bawling, or Quit your crying). Pretty common.
In this case, it is very definitely the former though. Partying and enjoying great success and somewhat gloating that his ex is now missing out on it. A pretty common musical theme too.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
