Pa’ meaning in English: Pa’ is a contraction for the word “Para” – “To, for, from”
2,3,4
Pa’ que meaning in English: Pa’ que is a common expression in Spanish using the contraction “pa’” which is “Para” – “to, for, from” and the word “qué” – “What, that, who”. Pa’que can have multiple meanings depending on just one thing, the accent or tilde above the letter “E” in “Que”.
If “Pa’ qué” the “é” has the accent, then the sentence will be a question, asking for a reason, usually translated as “Why”
If “Pa’ que” doesn’t have the accent, then the sentence will be an affirmation and usually would be translated as “So that, in order to, for, etc”
Also, if you found “Pa’ qué” with the accent, the sentence just means the same as “Por qué” which is one of the easiest and most basic expressions a Spanish learner encounters.

Review
Karol G La Vida Es Una meaning and English lyrics explained
Karol G is a global phenomenon. The Colombian reggaeton star is one of the most popular Latin artists in the world, and her music has transcended the barriers of language and culture. Her songs are heard in countries all over the world, even in places where Spanish is not the primary language.
La Vida Es Una Sola – “Life is just one”, the title of the song can also be translated as “Life is one”. La Vida Es Una Sola is a song about giving value to your life since you only live once. Teaches us to not fight with those we love because maybe those fights are over nothing, and when you are happy, everything feels nice.
The lyrics say that we won’t carry with us anything when we die, just the love of our parents. La Vida Es Una by Karol G is a simple but beautiful song. The song was made for the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wishas the main theme so if you saw the movie, you probably remember parts of the song and music.
In terms of practicing Spanish, this song wasn’t difficult to translate, just a couple of contractions can make the song a little complicated but those are easy to understand just by searching in Google. Overall, La Vida Es Una is a great song, not the best from Karol G, but at least one of the most relaxing in terms of the lyrics.
