Y Ahora Lyrics in English by 6ix9ine, Grupo Firme
Purunguita is a unique and playful term of endearment, likely a made-up or very regional pet name the artist uses for his beloved. It doesn't have a direct translation, but it's similar to calling someone 'my little thing' or 'my sweetie' in English.
This kind of creative nickname is common in Spanish and shows the personal, affectionate side of the language. In the song, 6ix9ine cries out "Ay, mi purunguita, yo te extraño demasiado" (Oh, my purunguita, I miss you so much), making it a key word to understand his deep sense of longing.
Ever blown up someone's phone after a breakup and gotten dead silence in return? That is exactly where 6ix9ine and Grupo Firme kick things off in "Y Ahora". The track mixes high-energy regional Mexican vibes with 6ix9ine's brash hip-hop style, but the lyrics are purely about hurting after getting dumped. He wakes up missing all the little kisses, stares at his phone, and complains: "Cuántas veces te he texteado, cuántas veces te he llamado y no has contestado" ("How many times have I texted you, how many times have I called you and you haven't answered"). He drops affectionate pet names like "bebecita" ("baby") and even the funny, goofy Mexican term of endearment "purunguita", begging for answers while completely spiraling: "Y ahora, ¿qué hago? ¿Y el olvido pa' cuándo?" ("And now, what do I do? And when is forgetting you going to happen?").
What makes this track fun is how brutally honest it is about the humiliation of pining over an ex who has totally moved on. He calls her "una bala perdida" ("a loose cannon," literally a lost bullet) and admits, "Soy un bobo aquí sufriendo, ando jodido y tú gozándote la vida" ("I'm a fool here suffering, I'm screwed up and you're enjoying life"). Instead of acting tough, he admits he is sitting there drinking in front of his compas (close friends or buddies), stewing in his feelings, and trying to protect his "cora" (slang for heart) from breaking any further. It is loud, messy, and painfully relatable when you are the only one left crying at the end of the story.
