NUEVAYoL

Ey, ey, ey, 4 de julio, 4th de July
Ando con mi primo, borracho, rulay
Los mío' en El Bronx saben la que hay
Con la nota en high por Washington Heights

On the Fourth of July,
I am with my cousin, drunk, relaxing,
with mine in The Bronx,
you know what there is,
with the note on high in Washington Heights.

LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii

Quieren quitarme el río y también la playa 
Quieren el barrio mío y que abuelita se vaya 
No, no suelte' la bandera ni olvide' el lelolai
Que no quiero que hagan contigo lo que le pasó a Hawái

They want to take the river from me, and the beach too
They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave
Do not surrender the flag, or forget the lelolai
Because I do not want them to do to you what happened in Hawaii

Here, Bad Bunny confronts the gentrification sweeping through Puerto Rico, comparing it to the loss suffered in Hawaii. His lyrics embody a resistance to cultural erasure, a reminder to hold onto roots and heritage.

Una Velita

Ey, 'tá empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, viene temporal
'Tá empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormеnta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?

It's starting to rain, it will happen again
Here comes a storm, a rough weather spell
It's starting to rain, it will happen again
Here comes a storm, who will save us?

In this poignant reflection on Hurricane Maria, Bad Bunny critiques the government's shortcomings in the aftermath of disaster. These lyrics serve as a clarion call for accountability and resilience in the face of adversity.

VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR

Vo'a llevarte pa' PR, mami, pa' que vea' cómo es que se perrea
Tráete a tu amiga si te gusta la idea
Dile que esta noche vamo' a janguear
Que rico la vamo' a pasar
Aquí nadie se va a casar
Pero tú te va' a querer quedar

I am going to take you to PR (Puerto Rico), honey, so you can see how to perrea
Bring your friend if you like the idea
Tell her that tonight we are going to hang out
We are going to have a good time
Here no one is going to get married
But you are going to want to stay.

No, no te puedo olvidar

Tú me enseñaste a querer
Me enseñaste a bailar

No, no I can't erase you 
You taught me how to love 
You taught me to dance
