Default lyrics to la Pared

Can anyone explain to me waht Joe Veras means with these words? Y aunque me le pongan vidrio,
cuello y fondo de botella.
I translate them but in English they don';t mean much- is it a saying in Spanish- thanks Mike

He don't mind if his girl friend's family set broken glass bottles on top of the wall, nobody is going to stop him from getting in her house.
Got it???

Have you seen places with concrete walls all around them? Sometimes they will put pieces of glass from a bottle on top to keep people from climbing the walls.

Default uno quiere para qu lo quieren

would you be able to help with this one the , too, by El Torito..? Uno quiere pa' que lo quieren, uno ama pa' que lo ame, - in English transtaed it really doesn't make much sense... many thanks - I love bachata but sometimes it's not easy to get the exact meaning ( though inevitably it is about a girl who left a guy, or a girl who hurt a guy, or a girl who deceived a guy................)thanks

For a moment I thought this was a post about Felipe Pirela's hit "La pared." Known as el bolerista de América, Pirela lives on through the combined vocies of El Torito and Charlie Zaa. Youtube him - you won't be disappointed.

Amstellite, verbs amar and querer both mean to love.

Uno quiere para que lo quieran./ Uno ama para que lo amen. Both sentences mean: One loves to be loved.


Con amor, Norma
