PERO NO TE ENAMORES Lyrics in English by Fuerza Regida
Qué tranza is a highly popular Mexican slang phrase that translates to 'what's up' or 'what's the deal'. While the word tranza can literally refer to a shady deal or a trick, it has evolved into a casual, everyday street expression in Mexico.
In this song, the singer tells the girl "tú sabes bien qué tranza" (you know exactly what the deal is). He uses this localized slang to remind her that they both understand the casual, no strings attached rules of their romance. Learning regional phrases like this is a fantastic way for learners to understand modern Latin music and sound more natural when speaking Spanish!
Fuerza Regida drops all the pretenses in "PERO NO TE ENAMORES", handing out a direct warning right from the start: don't catch feelings. The singer describes himself as a niño vago (a wanderer or street kid) caught up in "fiesta, alcohol y la bebida" (parties, alcohol, and drinks), calling himself a "rockstar que no sabe amar" (a rockstar who doesn't know how to love). He is totally up front about his flaws and warns his partner, "Tú sabes que te voy a lastimar" (You know that I am going to hurt you). It is blunt and honest about what he wants and what he cannot offer.
Even though they are total opposites, he admits the chemistry is undeniable: "Bebé, somos tan diferentes / Pero juntitos muy buenos pa' comernos" (Baby, we are so different / But together, very good at devouring each other). He even uses classic Mexican street slang like "qué tranza" (what's up / what the deal is) to keep things casual. The singer makes it clear he is not the romantic type—admitting that if he ever sent flowers, "fue para culear" (it was just to hook up). He is ready to set a time and date whenever she feels lonely, but the main rule never changes: "Porfa, mija, nomás no te enamores" (Please, girl, just don't fall in love).
