rascar - verb - to scratch. Look up rascar in the dictionary

Si rascas mi espalda te rascaré la tuya.
If you scratch my back I'll scratch yours.

Rasgar means to tear or to rip.
Rasgarse las vestiduras = To rend/tear/rip one's clothes

Rascar means to scratch.
Rascar la espalda = To scratch one's back.
Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours = Hoy por mí, mañana por ti

Fixed the typo. And good point with the idiom. :)
