In Shakira song "My Hips Don't Lie", the rapper says "como se llama? bonita, su casa" although.....

su casa mean your house and bonita mean beautiful and como se llama is asking for her name. So su casa does not fit , was he just speaking spanish for the sake of speaking spanish because what he says doesn't make any sense.

In Shakira song "My Hips Don't Lie", the rapper says "como se llama? bonita, su casa" although.....
Remember that the full verse goes like this:





Never really knew that she could dance like this


She make a man want to speak Spanish


como se llama, bonita


mi casa, su casa





I think it's just a joke - he's joking about trying to impress Shaki with his Spanish. In the U.S., most English-speaking people only know how to say things like "como se llama" and "bonita." And there is also a well-known saying that goes "Mi casa es su casa," (which we shorten to "mi casa, su casa") which of course means "My house is your house. (Make yourself at home.)" In the song, it might also have a double-meaning, as in "Should we hook up at my house or yours?"
Reply:rap is crap
Reply:You didn't finish the lyric. It is "Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa."





What he is saying is, what is your name, beautiful, my house, is your house.
Reply:hes being flirty asking her name saying shes beautiful and her if she wants to do the hokey pokey
Reply:he says:





"como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa"


translated:


"what is your name pretty, your house, my house (like where should they go? his place or hers)
Reply:Sometimes in Spanish when a question is asked the words are not in the correct order. I think he was saying "what is your name, and do you want to go to your house pretty girl" anyway that is how I took it, I am no expert though. You could be right, he could just be speaking Spanish for the sake of it.:)
Reply:Maybe he was.


Or he could have been saying her house is beatiful lol
Reply:he was speaking spanish for the sake of being spanish.
Reply:I thought I was the only one confused about that. Who knows?
Reply:He is an idiot and can't sing he should stick to producing
Reply:I never thought about it until you pointed it out, but yea it makes no sense
