It means, "Listen to me"
Literally, "lend me your ears" means requesting someone to allow you to borrow their ears. However, it is an idiomatic expression that originated from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. In this context, it figuratively means asking someone to listen attentively or pay close attention to what you are about to say.
I have never heard the saying, "Slap your ears back." However, I have heard of 2 others that are similar. "Pin once's ears back" means get ready to move or act quickly and decisively. "Box your ears" is a threat to hit someone in the face or head.
they lend ------------------------------- The answer above is wrong. Not necessarily "lend". Prestan can also mean provide. Though "lend" and "provide" can mean the same, they have a different meaning. Also, by the word "provide" you can say, "Prestan Atencion." Prestan, in this sentence means provide. But providing attention sounds a tad weird. Therefore, "Pretsan Atencion" can mean "Pay Attention". Really, Prestan is more of a "provide" than a "lend". Therefore, the answer above is incomplete and inaccurate. -Sang Joon Park
