Bust, butt, end, or cigarette butt?
I'm about to make a video for my latest song, in Spanish, and I would need your advice to clarify a doubt before putting the subtitles in English:
this is the line i want to check, it is the action of dropping a cigarette butt
Thank you!!
...I throw the bust?, butt ? end ?

I think I can help on this.
In the english language I've never heard the use of "Bust" when refering to cigarettes ever. "Butt" is difinitly the more commonly used reference, though I'm not sure which side of the pond it originates. Finally "End" that's not a commonly used reference these days, but was when I was a child. Ofcourse, this is all be subject to whatever region of the world you live in!?

I recount them from the sidewalk of Yesterday
Yesterday
when you loved me
when you kissed me
when i laughed
danced sang lived
lived
I light a cigarette,
I finish it quickly
snub out the end
and while I throw it
I see myself
How you smoked me
how you threw me
No no no no no no no
I will not tolerate it
because i am a wolf
wolf
wolf
wolf
i will bite your shadow
i will bite your furniture
the carpet
your bed
i will leave my trace
I will bite your steps
wolf
wolf
wolf

snub it out to the end....... I don't think thats correct grammar
Could be......... Burn it to the end........... That makes sense......that works
You have smoke in chorus
you have finish too
light a cigarette,
I finish it quickly
Burn it to the end
and while I throw it
I see myself

I finish it quickly
Burn it to the end
Tossed it in a astray
I see myself
its also a near rhyme ashtray and myself
usually everything in country and in pop , its clearly spelled out
You would not toss a cig in a house

qué lío!!!! I really appreciate your time, I think this is the best option for the translation so "let's get to work" I'll do it in the day!!! Stay well and thanks again chico!
(I hope my way of speaking doesn't bother anyone, my character is impulsive, childish and many other things that I don't control hahaha I'm Spanish, that must be) @ElvisNash

Naw , I can barely speak english right , But you need the right way of the butt thing , That works . I guess you could throw it , I'm thinking lieterally throwing a burning cig in a house , ashtray works up to you
I light a cigarette,
and finish it quickly
Burn it to the end
and while I throw it
I see myself
Childish works , being a adult is way over rated
