Te quiero, te quiero

A Colombian political and cultural expression meaning to step outside elite or privileged circles and genuinely engage with everyday people. Literally 'to smear oneself with the people', which signals the non-compositional figurative meaning.

Colombian expression used to dismiss someone's desires or signal that circumstances are simply unfavorable. Can be blunt or even dismissive in tone depending on context.

In Colombian Spanish 'hacer vueltas' means to run errands or take care of various tasks. The literal meaning of 'turns/rounds' does not lead to this meaning.

From 'botar' which in Colombian Spanish means to throw away or abandon someone. 'Dejarte botada' means to leave someone high and dry or to abandon them, a stronger and more personal sense than the neutral 'abandonar'.
