It means... That she will always be the typical wicked woman even after she says, "I do." hahaha Just kidding bro. I would guess that the meaning is up to the individual with a statement like that. I hope that my joking is completely wrong for your sake.
Enjoy your time there. I know I did and will again, soon.

Southern tiene la razon about each individual has their own meaning for that statment pero algunas cosas that it can be is

Maybe she thinks that you might be trying to change her?
Or she feels the need to just remind you she won't change?
Or for the cases of some girls when they constantly say that statement of something similar its that they want to remind THEMSELVES that they don't want to change even tho they let themselves change because they in reality haven't found themselves mean they still don't know who they are.

Colombiche says on Feb 3, 2007, 08:47:

No me cambio por nadie Means that she is so happy that she wouldn't want to be anybody else right now.

I gather she is very much in love with you and happy because you are going to be there on the 8th... "no se cambia por nadie".

Trust me, based on what you explained in your op, this is exactly what it means, it has nothing to do with you changing her.

colombiche....are you on colombianblog??? I think ive seen that screen name on there...anyways, Colombiche jajaj i was confused on it was either she was hinting that im trying to changer her or something..but the thing is im not like that ..and i know for a fact i never had told her or made her feel in any way that i wanted her to change...on the other hand i also pondered on the notion that maybe that slogan meant what you had said...but i thought is was said like this"no te cambio por nadie,"...anyways ..colombiche thank you ...we are both deeply in Love and ive been waiting six long months without her miradas y carisias ...hhmm its gonna be a long lovely trip ... thanks again colombiche..

vicshere says on Feb 3, 2007, 09:42:

missing subject "yo no cambio por nadie"= I wouldn't change for nothing= English meaning I wouldn't change for anything in the world
I think what your missing is "yo no te cambio por nadie" which make more sense..... cause your sentence is missing a subject so this meaning "I wouldn't change you for anything"

I still think she is saying "no me cambio por nadie". I've heard this before when I am about to visit somebody I love.

Vic No me cambio por nadie means "I wouldn't want to switch places with anybody". It means you are so elated and happy that you would not want to be anybody else or switch places with anybody else.

When a colombian says "no me cambio por nadie" it means they have basically reached nirvana, that is like our ultimate expression of happiness and content.

Lucky boy When a lady uses that expression it means she is willing to go to any lengths to hold on to you.

I have only used that expression a few times in my life, when I am going on a trip to some exotic destination or when I have been gooo goo gah gah in love.

Muchisimos gracias Lisa Zee y Colombiche....I think im the lucky boy..LOL...anyhow i met her through my cousin...i was joking around with my cousin one day throught email y le pregunte asi.. "hey prima buscame una cachaca buena para mi,"... after my random silly emails i would hit her up with that ...jokingly asking her to find me a nice woman...and one day..BAM she had emailed me on the serious tip , informing me of this wonderul lady...we wrote a couple of emails and then chatted online like everyday for HOURS...hasta la madrugada and we hit it off with getting to know our personal lives and interests and daily activities...everyminute chatting with her seemed like an eternity..we just were so fascinated with what we had to say that day and the spark and chemistry found within our company is grand...so then we decided that on my family trip to the Quilla..it was a MUST to meet physically...so we started chatting online since april 2006 and by late May we had already made the plans to meet physically on my trip this past july/august..we hit it off just like we had expected........... WOW...its wonderful...ya me voy el 8 aayyyyyyy como emocionado estoy !!!!

Gomezman5 says on Feb 4, 2007, 14:46:

This is a "No brainer" Based on the context that you have described and the context she says it in, Colombiche's original interpretation is 100% correct. Take out the word "cambio" (change) and effectively you end up with they way we would say it in English and this is:

I WOULD NOT GIVE YOU UP FOR ANYONE ELSE.

That is what a Gringa/Gringo equivalent would be. It's not the literal translation, but that is the context it is being said.

Colombiano D. Tell me more, I like to hear love stories, istead of bikering and arguing. How old ae you guys. And keep us posted.

Love stories are boring. Let's talk about hookers.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Love Stories? If all we talked about were love stories, some of this sites most active and values participants would surrender their membership.

At the same time, people like monparri and Juanalejo would have nobody to complain about.

Geez guys For the umpteenth time, she is saying "No me cambio por nadie". Take it from the self-professed colombian slang specialist.

When my Colomban husband says this he is usually shouting and it means he isn't going to change a thing about himself. He is just like that and if I don't like it I can fuck off.

podborski says on Feb 10, 2007, 07:56:

doesn't it mean 'I would not trade places with anyone', so pretty much what colombiche said.

'nadie' means 'no one (person)', not 'nothing', doesn't it?
