Here Are the English Lyrics to Karol G & Shakira’s ‘TQG’ - Billboard - Translation

Karol G and Shakira craft the ultimate tabloid pop hit on their first collaboration together “TQG,” off Karol’s new album, Mańana Será Bonito, released on Friday (Feb. 24). An explosive kiss-off, the two forces of Latin pop chow down a heated breakup bop about leaving corny exes. It’s easy to speculate whom Karol G and Shakira are referring to.

Shakira’s highly-publicized disentanglement with soccer star Gerard Piqué was tabloid gold, which she actually converted into into big bills. Recall women empowerment lyric, “Las mujeres ya no llloran, las mujeres facturan” or “women don’t cry anymore, women generate money” from the best diss track of 2023 so far: “BZRP Music Session #53.” It racked up more than 82 million views on YouTube in 24 hours, the fastest in the video platform’s history. It also peaked numerous Billboard charts.

Meanwhile, Karol G’s separation from Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA from a few years ago was also somewhat messy. Since their breakup, it seems like a blimp of time that Anuel hooked up with Dominican rapper Yailin La Más Viral, whom he got pregnant, had her baby, and only stayed married for a mere nine months.

The visual for “TQG” (acronyms for “Te Quedó Grande” roughly meaning “too much for you to handle”) explores the sinister nature of celebrity life as reality TV. This is tabloid-pop gold at it’s finest, and they’re very aware of it. The video follows them across the world, where viewers see Karol G standing on top of Japanese billboards, and spectators are watching from their airplane TVs. Near the end of the clip, a guy eating popcorn in a bathtub is entertained watches the singers lyrically slay their bygone men.

Here are the translated lyrics to “TQG”:

KAROL G

Whoever told you that a void is filled with another person is lying to you
It’s like covering up a wound with makeup
You can’t see it, but you can feel it
You left saying you got over me
And you got yourself a new girlfriend
What she doesn’t know is that you’re still looking at all my stories

CHORUS

Baby, what happened?
Thought you were very in love?
What are you doing looking for me, honey
If you know that I don’t repeat mistakes
Tell your new bae that I don’t compete for men
And to stop grudging, at least I had you pretty

SHAKIRA

Seeing you with the new girl hurt me, but I’m now set on me
I’ve forgotten what we lived together, and that’s what you’re offended by
And even my life got better, you are no longer welcome here
And what your girlfriend slayed at me, that doesn’t anger me, it makes me laugh

KAROL G

I don’t have time for something that doesn’t do anything for me
I changed my route
Making money like sport
Filling my bank account with shows, the car park, the passport
I’m harder, the press reviews say

SHAKIRA

Now you want to come back to me, it shows
Hold on, I’m no fool

KAROL G

You forgot that I’ve moved on
And that this Bichota was too hot for you to handle

CHORUS

Baby, what happened?
Thought you were very in love?
What are you doing looking for me, honey
If you know that I don’t repeat mistakes
Tell your new bae that I don’t compete for men
And to stop grudging, at least I had you pretty

SHAKIRA

You left, and I wen’t triple ‘m’
Much hotter, much tougher, much more class

KAROL G

Getting back with you, never
You are the bad luck
Because now blessings are raining down on me
And you want to get back together, I knew it
You liked a photo of mine

SHAKIRA

You, looking to eat out
Me, saying that it was monotony
And you want to come back, I knew that much
‘Liking’ my photos
Now you’re outside searching for food

KAROL G

You look happy with your new life
But… if she knew that you still look for me

CHORUS

Baby, what happened?
Thought you were very in love?
What are you doing looking for me, honey
If you know that I don’t repeat mistakes
Tell your new bae that I don’t compete for men
She didn’t have a good hand on you, at least I had you pretty

SPOKEN

My love, you really distanced yourself
And I can’t see so far away, baby
TQM [I love you a lot], but TQG [You were out of your depth]… Barranquilla, Medallo

Coty calls for dictionaries to change definition of “beauty” - Stylist Magazine - Dictionary

What does beauty really mean? It’s a question than great artists and poets have grappled with for hundreds of years, and something we ask ourselves on a near-daily basis. Do we feel beautiful? Do we feel represented? Do we feel empowered and confident in who we are? Sadly, the answer is more often than not ‘no’.

Currently, the Cambridge Dictionary defines ‘beauty’ as “the quality of being pleasing, especially to look at, or someone or something that gives great pleasure, especially when you look at it.” The stated examples read: “This is an area of outstanding natural beauty,” “The piece of music he played had a haunting beauty,” and “She was a great beauty when she was young.”

But the interpretation is limited to say the least, which is exactly what this beauty brand is aiming to fix.

In its empowering new campaign, #UndefineBeauty, Coty, the brand behind beauty giants such as Max Factor, Rimmel, and Burberry,  is leading a charge to change the very definition of “beauty,” removing the implicit ageist and sexist ideals that often come alongside it.

In an open letter to major English dictionary houses, CEO Sue Y. Nabi and Coty’s Executive Committee and senior leadership team declared that it was “time to bridge the gap” and bring the definition in line with the new, much more diverse and inclusive view.

“The beauty of today is a different notion to what it was even a few years ago,” the statement read. “New generations have thrown out the old, restrictive rules, deconstructed the beauty paradigm, and built a new one that is fluid and ever-changing.”

“Seen through the lens of today’s society and values, the definition of beauty hasn’t aged well,” it continues.

“Of course, not all people are impacted by, or feel excluded by these definitions. But the implicit ageism and sexism in the examples were born in a different time. We believe it’s time to bridge the gap – time to bring the definition to where society is today. By changing the definition, if more people feel included – feel beautiful – there will be a ripple effect which touches us all.” 

We believe it’s time to bridge the gap – time to bring the definition to where society is today. By changing the definition, if more people feel included – feel beautiful – there will be a ripple effect which touches us all

Alongside the open letter, the company has also inaugurated a petition on Change.org calling for the definition changes in dictionaries, which currently stands at more than 2,400 signatures.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Max Factor’s global ambassador and creative collaborator, has also backed the campaign, calling it “an acknowledgement of people who express their visions of beauty in their own way every day.”

“At Coty, we believe that no one can control or dictate what is, or is not, beautiful,” Nabi says. “That is why the campaign to #UndefineBeauty aims to ‘undefine’ rather than simply ‘redefine’ beauty, so that no one feels excluded by the definition or examples that accompany it.”

Uddhav Thackeray has a ‘dictionary of 20 words’, Devendra Fadnavis after ‘Mogambo’ jibe - The Hindu - Dictionary

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday hit out at Uddhav Thackeray over his "Mogambo" remark about Amit Shah, saying the former Maharashtra CM has a "dictionary of 20 words" which he keeps using.

As to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut’s allegation that a ₹2,000 crore deal was struck to “purchase” the Shiv Sena name and poll symbol, the BJP leader said he did not see the need to respond to “brainless” people.

Mr. Thackeray, reacting to Mr. Shah’s statement welcoming the Election Commission’s decision to recognise the faction led by Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena, had used the famous line of an iconic villain from the 1980s blockbuster film Mr. India, “Mogambo khush hua.”

Asked by reporters about the jibe, Mr. Fadnavis said there are ups and downs in politics, but people pity the intellect of those who say anything out of frustration.

"What he says does not make any difference," the BJP leader added.

On Mr. Raut’s allegation about a “deal” being struck for getting the Sena name and symbol, Mr. Fadnavis said, “Why should I reply to “brainless” people?”

“As far as Uddhav-ji is concerned, he has a limited dictionary of some 20 words and he keeps using these words repeatedly. Is there any need to reply?” he asked.

About former Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's claim that he did not approve the names recommended by the previous Thackeray-led government for nomination to the Legislative Council as the language in the letter was "threatening ", Mr. Fadnavis said he had only seen a part of Mr. Koshyari's interview, but whatever the former governor said was right.

"As per my information, when the leaders from all three parties (Shiv Sena, Congress, NCP) later went to meet the governor, he told them that he would not act on such a threatening letter. He advised them to send a letter in the proper format. They also had ego, so they said they would not change it," he said.

Church planting network hosts Bible translation hackathon - Mission Network News - Translation

Southeast Asia (MNN) — A church planting network in Southeast Asia is hosting a global hackathon for Bible translation this week.

“There’ll be groups in Asia, Eurasia, Middle East, Latin America, all getting online and working on projects together to solve Bible translation needs,” unfoldingWord’s David Reeves says.

“Hackathons allow these various network operators to work together, focus on a project [that will solve] one problem, and then get something done.”

You may be familiar with hackathons from the tech world. Programmers and software designers create a solution to an existing problem using technology. The concept is similar here.

Church-centric Bible translators in the unfoldingWord network use open-source, or shared, technology to translate Scripture into minority languages. As with any line of work, problems come up.

For example, “Bible maps provide great, useful information when you’re trying to understand Paul’s missionary journey or something like that,” Reeves says.

“What will you do when your only one is a JPEG image [in] English, and you want it in some minority language? How are you going to fix that?”

Last year’s hackathon provided an answer. “Some guys from the Eurasia network came up with a clever way to change the text on their maps to local languages,” Reeves says.

Pray for wisdom as Bible translators identify their top needs this week and work together on a solution. If you want to use your tech skills for God, connect with unfoldingWord here.
