Polola is a distinctly Chilean and informal word for “girlfriend,” making it more memorable than the usual novia. In the song, it appears in the phrase “Amarra tu polola”, meaning “tie up your girlfriend,” a provocative line that reflects the song’s exaggerated street-slang style.
"No Me Suman" is Cris MJ in full flex mode, and the title is the whole attitude in three words. "No colaboro porque no me suman" (I don't collaborate because they don't add anything to me) is his way of saying the other guys are dead weight, so why would he work with them? It is a party song and a brag track at once: the club gets shut down because his crew is in charge ("Nosotros mandamo', cierren la disco" [We run things, close the club]), and there is a jacuzzi with bubbles waiting after.
This one is a goldmine of Chilean slang, which is half the fun. "Polola" is Chilean for girlfriend, so "Amarra tu polola" (Tie down your girlfriend) is a cheeky warning that if she is left loose, "se la va a llevar la ola" (the wave is going to carry her off). "Piola" means low-key, "bacán" means awesome, "nítido" means sharp or looking great, and "cabrones" is a rude word for the rivals. "Se me nota el peine" (you can see my comb) is a playful way of saying his swagger is obvious. The song also leans hard on gangster imagery, with "la 40" (a .40 caliber pistol), "sicarios" (hitmen) and "plomo" (lead, meaning bullets). Honestly, it is a bit much, and that is clearly the point: it is over the top on purpose.
A sweeter line sneaks in too: "te bajé la luna" (I brought the moon down for you), a classic Spanish romantic phrase dropped right in the middle of all the threats. Listen for how Cris MJ swallows the end of words, like "joya'" for joyas and "mandamo'" for mandamos. That dropped "s" is very typical of how people actually talk in Chile.
