Polola is a Chilean slang term for 'girlfriend'. It's a charming and informal way to refer to a romantic partner, distinct from the more common 'novia'.
In the song, Cris MJ uses this word to express his desire to make the person he's singing about his official girlfriend, saying "Yo voy a hacerte mi polola" (I'm going to make you my girlfriend). This specific regional slang makes the word interesting and unique to learn, offering a glimpse into Chilean Spanish.
Cris MJ's "El Tiempo Se Pierde" is all about seizing the moment and not letting time slip away when it comes to romance! He's clearly smitten and can't stop thinking about this woman, saying, "TĂș me tienes aquĂ pensando en todas las cosas que yo a ti te harĂ©" [You have me here thinking about all the things I will do to you]. He's impatient for her to show up, lamenting, "El tiempo estĂĄ pasando y tĂș no te deja' ver" [Time is passing and you don't let yourself be seen].
He's ready to spoil her, offering to buy her anything she wants: "Toma, compra lo que quieras, que el ticket traje pa' que te relaje'" [Here, buy whatever you want, I brought the ticket so you can relax]. Cris MJ is very direct about his desires, repeatedly saying, "Ya quiero comerte toda" [I already want to eat you whole] and even planning to make her his girlfriend, "Yo voy a hacerte mi polola" [I'm going to make you my girlfriend]. He feels lost without her, describing it as "Me siento en un infierno viviendo muerto por dentro" [I feel like I'm in hell, living dead inside]. It's a passionate plea to make the most of their time together.
