A few days ago I was listening to "Normal" by Carolina Durante and I thought that it could be a song fitting Temari and Shikamaru.

This translation is quite accurate, although there is one verse that is wrong:
Te echaste una novia que es un poco rara
Es un poco cuadro que se parezca a mí
You got yourself a girlfriend who is a bit weird
It's kind of odd that she looks like me
"Ser un cuadro" literally means "to be a painting". But in this situation, I would say it refers to the situation (the fact that former and current girlfriends are similar, not the current girlfriend herself) being... funny. BOTH funny haha and funny weird (?).
"Ser un cuadro" always involves being weird, but I would say that it is more defined by being grotesque and/or absurdly weird.
Anyway, I'm not sure if it would work for a new story (even if you were interested), because, actually... I just realised that it is, kind of, giving Saints 🤔.
Chapter 4. If Saints had a different ending. If Ino had known about them being together (at least my friends would be so pissed).
I think I'm done now 😬. Unless you're up for more ✨unrequested Spanish lessons✨, I guess.
OMG that song is PERFECT for Saints chapter 4!!!!!! Like. To a tee. He's such a loser loner boy -- he's be listening to this on his record player with a finger of whiskey alone on a wednesday night upset that he's even still thinking about her.
I love it so much! And thank you for the translation (the link AND the extra help ❤️).
I don't have new story plans involving a break-up, but honestly, this is my fav kind of shikatema situation, and so the possibility of it coming back around is actually pretty strong! I'm adding it to my personal st playlist and the saints tag on my tumblr too to keep your additional translation present.
THANK YOU so much for sending this!
