Maluma - Carnaval song translation?

So I understand most of the song except the one part that says, "Si te hace falta que te quiera" and the part that says, "pa que llora mamasita" why does he use the Ud? earlier in the song he used tú. The other part is,"si asi no se ve tan bonita.. yo le aseguro que de una se le quita"

Hola!

"Si te hace falta que te quiera"

That means "If you need me to love you"

"pa que llora mamasita"

Ok, this is a difficult one. "pa que" isn't wrote correctly, it would be "Para qué", but it is wrote like he pronunciates that. Now, I'm going to try to explain your doubt about the using of "Ud": I haven't listen the entire song, but I think in that part he's referring to the girl of the videoclip, and before he is talking about a general girl.

Maybe he doesn't care the using of "Ud" (Is very common to use "Ud" in South America countries). At my ears it doesn't sound bad at all (I'm Spanish)

Same goes for the rest of the quotes. I hope this will be helpful

Written. Pronounces it. Listened to. Care about. It is ..to my ears. - Mardle, Sep 4, 2015
Oh you are right, sorry about it. My English is bad, specially when I'm thinking in Spanish - de12wey, Sep 4, 2015
Perhaps your English is not perfect de12wey, but it definitely is not bad and few of us get it right all of the time - tomasdeAlba, Sep 4, 2015
It is definitely not bad. I added corrections because I could see you wanted to improve and to help other learners. I am sure you knew everything I added - Mardle, Sep 4, 2015
