alcancíapiggy bank

Alcancía literally translates to "piggy bank". It's a charming and somewhat unexpected word to find in a pop song, making it memorable and unique.

In the lyrics, J mena sings, "Ahora elijo yo los que me llenan la alcancía" (Now I choose who fills my piggy bank). This line uses the piggy bank as a metaphor for her emotional or personal well-being, implying she's now in control of who she allows to contribute positively to her life after a breakup.

j mena's "Se Acabó" is a super fun, sassy track where she's totally taking back control! It's all about a relationship that's run its course, and she's making it clear that the other person's "vidas conmigo" [lives with me] are over. She's tired of games, saying "Hace tiempo que tú juegas conmigo, pero ahora es al revés" [For a long time you've played with me, but now it's the other way around]. Now, she's the one in charge, deciding "cuando es que se va a comer" [when we're going to eat] – a playful way of saying she calls the shots.

But even though it's ending, there's still a spark! She asks for "Esas cosas que me vuelven loca, me gusta porque sabes donde tocas" [Those things that drive me crazy, I like it because you know where to touch]. It's a last hurrah, a one-night-only deal, because "Total mañana se acabó" [Anyway, tomorrow it's over]. She even jokes about the other person taking everything, leaving her "vacía" [empty], but she prefers it that way because now she chooses who fills her "alcancía" [piggy bank]. She's offering a final, temporary fling, telling them to "aprovecha la oferta" [take advantage of the offer] because "la noche es esta" [tonight is the night]!
