"dejalo, nuestra cosa" translates to "leave it, our thing." so her spanish sucks. but she specifies "nuestra" instead of "nuestro". the song is about women letting themselves be abused and objectified just for attention as if it's their "thing." it's sarcastic, of course. but it has a depth that most of their other stuff doesn't reach. i think Dejalo is actually one of the best songs on the album. it’s got the most heart-sickening lyrics they’ve ever produced. listen closer to it – the “Spanish flavor” is unimportant. “dejalo, nuestra cosa” translates to “leave it, our thing.” so her spanish sucks. but she specifies “nuestra” instead of “nuestro”. the song is about women letting themselves be abused and objectified just for attention as if it’s their “thing.” it’s sarcastic, of course. but it has a depth that most of their other stuff doesn’t reach.
