A translation could be

"Fuck mate, my language got changed, yo"

The final "tu" is a "muletilla", a filler word

okay thanks I think I get it. ~~it's like a set construction with that pronoun that doesn't vary with viewpoint~~

To be fair, since I'm not Spaniard and I don't often hear spaniards talking informally, nor I know who made this meme, that final "tu" could be a slang filler word like the "bo" in uruguayan for example (most likely in my opinion), or it could be a mistranslation

Def not mistranslation, we youngsters use that "tú" at the end a lot as in "yo" in central Spain

Spanish speaker here to make things more complicated: tu without an accent is the possessive (your in English), tú with an accent is the pronoun you.

yeah I definitely used the wrong word there, thank you for clarifying
