Pensándote Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro, Tainy
Pichándome comes from the verb pichar, a popular slang term in Puerto Rico that means 'to ignore' or 'to stand someone up'. It's believed to derive from the English word 'pitcher', as in a baseball pitcher who 'throws away' a ball.
In the song, Rauw Alejandro sings "Estás molesta pichándome" (You're mad, ignoring me), expressing his frustration that his ex is giving him the cold shoulder. Learning this unique word is a great way to understand the specific flavor of Caribbean Spanish.
Ever run into an ex who looks annoyingly good? That is the exact mess Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro finds himself in on "Pensándote" (Thinking of You). The track kicks off right after an unexpected encounter: "Ayer te vi, te ves mejor" (I saw you yesterday, you look better). Instead of moving on gracefully, Rauw spends the whole day obsessing, wondering if she got tired of waiting around and found someone else. His pride is on full display when he begs for just one more night, claiming "ninguno te va a dar como yo" (nobody will give it to you like I do). He reminisces about wild weekends in the coastal surf town of Aguadilla and their old, toxic habits, admitting, "Yo que estaba puesto pa' amarte / Y tú que no parabas de celarme" (I was ready to love you, and you wouldn't stop being jealous of me).
Rauw mixes genuine longing with blunt, late-night desperation. He complains that his battery is on one percent while he scrambles to reach her, whining, "Estás molesta pichándome" (You're annoyed, ignoring me). That word pichar is classic Puerto Rican slang meaning to blow someone off or leave them on read. Even though she is busy going viral dancing in the club on TikTok and other guys are hitting on her, Rauw insists he is still unbeaten in her eyes. It is essentially an upbeat, smooth perreo text message that should have stayed in drafts, yet you cannot help but dance along.
