Bellaca/bellaco meaning: A bellaca (Female) or bellaco (masculine) are usually delinquents, villains, or scoundrel people with no sense of law or moral principles, however, in Latin America the meaning of bellaca or bellaca is slightly changed for someone who has bad behavior but not necessarily a delinquent or a criminal, for example, a child that has bad behavior and doesn’t like to follow instruction, you call that child a bellaco.
A bellaca can be a girl who enjoys dating different men at the same time or using them to have fun herself. A girl who loves being wild and going to parties and consumes drugs.
A bellaco is the same, a man who likes to use and date different women at the same time.
Normally bellacas or bellacos are also called bad boys or bad girls. Let’s see an example:
“No te involucres mucho con esa chica, ella es una bellaca” – “Don’t get too much involved with her, she is a bad girl.”
“No te enamores de él, ese tipo es un bellaco.” – “Dont fall in love with him, that guy is a player.” In both examples, the word bellaca and bellaco is used to describe someone you can’t trust too much because they don’t like to settle with anyone and just enjoy having fun.

De una meaning: De una is a common expression in Spanish and it means to do something immediately, as fast as possible. Sometimes you can hear variants like “de one” which also means the same and mixes both Spanish and English words “de and one”. This can be a little difficult expression to understand as there isn’t a direct translation for it, you have to analyze its meaning in the context.
“Tenemos que hacer la tarea de una” – “We have to do homework right now”. See how “de una (de one) is translated in this case as “right now”.
“Deberias decirle a ella lo que sientes de una” – “You should just tell her what you feel” in this case, “de una” is converted as “just” to express something the boy should do without thinking about it too much.
De una lo bota meaning in the song lyrics is similar: the girl doesn’t care about her boyfriends she just wants to be happy, if a boyfriend ends up being a nuisance for her, she “just” dump him right away, so a close translation for this sentence will be “She dumps him (them) right away.”
“de una” is common slang and is used a lot in informal conversations. If you really want to dominate Spanish this is one of those sentences you should learn.

De pecho meaning: de pecho is a Spanish expression that can be translated to something like “from the chest” however that’s not the meaning. De pecho means to face something looking forward, with courage and determination, let’s an example to explain it better:
“Enfrenté de pecho ese problema que tenía” – “I faced that problem I had” see how in this sentence “de pecho” isn’t translated directly but is implicated in facing the problem you could put any word to magnify the impact of “facing” in the sentence.
Now in the lyrics of the song we have “Y de una de pecho me zumbé” we explained before the meaning of “de una” which can be understood to do something quickly, immediately, without waiting too much time. combining the two slang we can translate the lyrics as “And I immediately throw myself in” because the girl left his boyfriend and the singer immediately throw himself to make a move on the girl.

Zumbé meaning: sometimes “zumbé” – “buzz, buzzed” can mean to throw something, someone, or yourself into something. For example, in a pool, you can “zumbarte” to the water which means “To jump into the water”.
“Me zumbé al agua” – “I jumped into the water”.
“Me zumbé para conquistarla” – “I throw myself to conquer her”.

Review
Me porto bonito Bad Bunny meaning and lyrics explained
Me porto bonito – “I behave well” is a song by the Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny and Chencho Corleone. The song was released in May 2022 as part of the album “Un Verano sin Ti”.
Translating this song and defining each slang was a complete challenge as the song contains a lot of popular saying and words that normally it is impossible to translate without previous or extended Spanish knowledge.
Like many Bad Bunny songs, the lyrics tell us the story of a girl who can’t be dominated by any men, a girl who does what she pleases and just has fun wherever she goes. A girl who isn’t interested in a relationship and loves cannabis and threesomes. If she dates a guy and he can keep it up with her, she just dumps him.
Bad bunny is interested in this girl, she is so strong and brave that he steps aside every time she passes at his side. Bad bunny wishes that she posts more pictures of her ass on social media and if he could date her, he would post pictures of them together to show the world the hot girl he’s dating.
As I mentioned above, Me porto bonito is a challenge for those learning Spanish, understanding this song is quite difficult if you don’t have enough Spanish familiarity with common words like “Bellaca, janguear, chingar, frikitona.” Besides that, the song contains so many contractions that it is difficult to count each one, many of them are easy to interpret but there few that changes the meaning of the lyrics if you can’t guess which word is contracted. The job is already done so you can check above the lyrics translated word by word and the meaning of the sentences as well as the significance of all the slang the song has.
Overall, I enjoyed translating this song so I hope you can use the lyrics to study and get better at your Spanish.
