In fact, in Jennifer Lopez’s song I’m into you, you could glean that her lyrics connote being patay na patay to somebody she is hinting. Here are some lines:
When I look into your eyes, it’s over
You got me hooked with your love controller (yeah)
I’m trippin’ and I could not get over
I feel lucky like a four leaf clover
See the word “hooked” that JenniferLopez said! May bastos nga lang na lines sa kanta niya. Hindi kami pabor sa bastos. We just quoted her and some lines in her song to provide some backing for our translation paradigm.
