Viviendo El Proceso <3 Lyrics in English by Gino Mella, Best
Chala is a fascinating word because it has multiple meanings, often used as slang in different Spanish-speaking regions. While it can refer to the husk of corn, in Chilean slang, it's commonly used to mean 'weed' (marijuana).
However, in the context of this song, it's used to describe someone as 'trashy' or 'worthless'. The line "De que me miren como chala estas weonas" translates to "That these girls look at me like I'm trashy/worthless," highlighting a feeling of being disrespected and undervalued. This dual meaning makes it a unique and culturally rich word to learn.
Gino Mella and Best's "Viviendo El Proceso <3" is a really honest look at getting over a breakup and finding yourself again. The song starts with Gino feeling down, but he's got hope, saying, "Me siento mal / Pero prometo que voy a estar mejor" [I feel bad / But I promise I'm going to be better]. He's tired of the drama and wants a genuine partner, someone who won't play games or break his heart again.
He's definitely in a reflective mood, living his own process ("Viviendo el proceso"), and realizing it's time to value himself. He's over people treating him badly and wants someone loyal, with a healthy mind, who loves him for who he is, not for his bank account. It's all about needing real love and finally putting himself first, even saying, "Cada día duele menos / Ya ni siquiera te echo de menos" [Every day it hurts less / I don't even miss you anymore]. It's a great song about healing and moving on!
