I can't make out a consonant in El Pasito Que Yo Doy.
It's in the repeat of the last line of the 2nd letra and falls between the "mu" and the "mala". To my ears it's "neg" but I'd really appreciate some more informed opinions on it.
There's nothing between the muy and the mala. It's just the flourishes on the "tiene" that come out that way. Almost sounds like tie-u-ne. At least, that's what I'm hearing.

Ah got it!! ti-e-u-ne makes perfect sense. Thanks guys!!!
I'm having a hard time getting even a rough translation together for the final letra. Quite a few words either not in a dictionary (quéo,quéa), or only in a Portuguese dictionary (deito) , or have so many translations it's hard to know what's what . I guess deito might come from deo. But after that I'm lost.
Queda and dedo or dedito, keep or stay and little finger or finger pointing is what you need. You have to stay pointing your little finger as if you were Saint John....something like that? A reference to the Davinci painting perhaps?
(tl;dr: John the Baptist is the only prophet that pointed physically to Jesus. All the others were long dead and only announced him from afar. So art and paintings started representing John with his index finger always up and at some point the idea of John lowering his finger became synonymous with "never")
So to translate:
y'a gotta keep flipping dat finger like dat motherf*cker Jonny did.
or something
