^3,4,5 The expression "Dar la espalda" lit. "Give the back" is the idiomatic equivalent in English of "Turn your back [on someone]"
⁷ Vaya is commonly found interjection, meaning just about anything. It is a conjugation of the verb - Ir meaning "to go", so English equivalients might be "go away!", or "go!" However, as in English, the talker might not actually want the person so "go away" rather and expression of surprise. The lyric might just be translated as "wow".

⁵ Venga is a very common word you will hear in Spain, as whilst strictly it is the 3rd person singular, present tense, subjunctive of the verb venir - to come, it is used as an interjection e.g. at the end of a sentence meaning the equivalent of "let's go" in English. It could be addressed to yourself the speaker, or to others, but always in this conjugation. Good answer here with more information on Quora

Review

Mr Tangaga 'Ruckus' is our hero. He's a bit peeved that his girl has dumped him when he needed her, and seems to have been caught off guard.

He's getting a bit introspective, and analytical: he might well have been a jerk, and figures her feelings for him did extinguish.

Then he's thinking about a party, from what I understand, he turned up disheveled.

It's pretty miserable. I mean, when is a breakup a good thing? He didn't see it coming also, only retrospectively thinking he might have been to blame, at least a little.

There is a fair amount of slang, abbreviation (in the original lyrics) and interjections. Some are quite cute like "toma que toma" which means "get what you get" according to this article.

"Hala", more Arabic coming through, can mean various things; and I've picked "Let's go" as the translation here.

Now I notice more religious language, such as "confesarlo" and "arrepentir" for "admit" and "regret" - these come from a more recent epoc, and have made their mark on the language.

A nice expression is "De punta en blanco" which we might say "Dressed up to the nines", and another I found on this site suggests that "son ilusione[s]" means "wishful thinking" - which would be apt at that point in the song story.

Love to see the Arabic influences still on Spanish music; remember it is only 500 years since the Moors were ejected from Spain.

The main man is wandering around looking very miserable (I don't know if this is his normal look) and angry. There are random sequences that have no real bearing on the song lyrics. He flies off somewhere on a plane; where granddads can still smoke and mask-wearing appears sporadic.

Overall a nice little ditty of a song if you want to learn some interjections and a true rendition of the sounds you might hear in (particularly) southern Spain.
