Spanish term or phrase: te meten (UI) del machete
Sí. Aquí cualquiera siembra. En Cuba tienes que sembrar con tremendo sacrificio y con tremendo todo, y que te roben los tomates por la noche, qué va, asere.

Bestial.

Si te empatan conmigo (UI).

Oye, esos guajiros, esos guajiros te meten (UI) del machete, para que sepas.

Echa para acá eso.

Espérate que me dijo (UI)

Ahí, súbelo, súbelo, apunta ahí (UI).

Vamos a ver si…

No le apuntaste nada, apúntale otra vez.
