Spanish in Lolita

You know, the original reason I joined this forum was to ask this question, but I got caught up in all the fun and forgot. lol

Question about spanish spoken in Lolita, on 3121
So here goes, I've checked lyric sites and all they say is "woman speaking spanish" But what is she saying? In Lolita, before the shout part, what is the spanish in Lolita transalate to? My Spanish II teacher didn't teach me sh.t, so I have no clue.

I've been trying to figure that out myself too
this is what I hear but I doubt its right

Ay papi deja de hablar locuras
No es mi culpa que tu mami es tan celosa
Ah no entonces deja el estres y comprame un trago

Ay papi stop talking/speaking madness
It's not my fault that your mami is so jealous (not sure if this line is right)
Ah then then leave that stress behind and buy me a drink

Not a very sexy voice! IMHO disbelief (Unlike the voice in A Spanish Villa)

Every time I hear it I picture Prince up late at night recording the song and grabbing an available employee at Paisley Park to do the part.

Maybe someone can translate it for us all. Even I want to know what the hell she is saying in the song.

Bang on, except more fluently:

Hey Dad stop talking crap,
It's not my fault that your Mum's jealous.
Ah no then leave the stress and buy me a drink.

I find it very difficult to understand what she says, but I always thought it was "cómprame un traje" as in a suit or a dress. It's still easier to understand than the "no te alejes de este momento de inspiración" from get on the boat

I'm Spanish so I think I can help U. The girl says:

Ay, ay, ay papi deja de hablar locuras
No es mi culpa verme tan bien
¿Estás celoso?
Ah no, entonces deja el estrés y cómprame un traje

In English it goes something like this:

Oh, oh, oh papi stop talking nonsense
It isn't my fault if I look so good
Are U jealous?
Well, then leave the stress and buy me a dress

I didn't found a proper translation 4 "Papi" cause it's a loving/familiar way U use 2 refer 2 your boyfriend (it's mostly used in South America). I hope it helps wink

I was just thinking that this line:

"Ah no, entonces deja el stress y cómprame un traje"

could also be translated this way:

Oh, you aren't (jealous), then leave the stress and buy me a dress)


And "papi" would be the literal translation of "daddy". I think U also use "daddy" referring 2 a girl's boyfriend or husband, don't U?


Just wanted 2 add a rider...

Yeah, I know it's quite difficult 2 understand her as she doesn't speak very slow and besides there's the accent. But I can assure U that's what she says.

The same happens 2 me when I don't have the lyrics 2 a Prince song... And U guys have always helped me. It was my turn wink
