¿Cómo llegó este momento?
El año pasa volando
Pero este mes siempre se va lento
Pasa serio y amenazando
El cielo está oscureciendo
Y el viento ya está soplando
El mar se va enfureciendo
Y la montaña rezando

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

Y que Dios proteja a Borinquen
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo
Y del Espíritu Santo, que Dios cuide a mi canto
No quiero toldo, quiero su manto, ey

Obviamente la luz se va a ir
Sabrá Dios y nunca va a volver
El puente que tardaron en construir
El río crecido lo va a romper
Par de canciones guarda' en el cel
Pa' cuando se vaya la señal
La señal ya se dio y no la quieren ver
Falta que el boricua quiera despertar
No olviden la viejita de allí
Que vive sola, hay que irla a ayudar
Recuerden que to' somos de aquí
Al pueblo el pueblo le toca salvar
Con el gobierno no me envíen na'
Que esos cabrones lo van a esconder
Van pa' la calle pa' fotos na' más
Por mí toditos se pueden joder
Fueron cinco mil que dejaron morir
Y eso nunca se nos va a olvidar
La palma en la que quieren ahorcar el país
Un día de estos la vamos a tumbar

Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga na'
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga na'
Y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá, y ojalá que no venga na'
Que no venga na', pero

'Ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, quizás huracán
'Ta empezando a llover, otra vez va a pasar
Por ahí viene tormenta, ¿quién nos va a salvar?

Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo
Dime si la quiere' pasar conmigo, eh-eh
Pa' no dormir solito', dormir abrazao'
A mí na' me da miedo si tú estás a mi lao
Prende una velita pa' ver tu carita
Antes de acostarme

'Toy esperando a que salga el sol
A que salga el sol
Va a salir el sol
Mm-mm, 'toy esperando a que salga el sol
A que salga el sol
Va a salir el sol

not that good, imho. But then, I've spent the weekend listening to the latest Nightwish album, so my standards are quite high.



I... can't tell if this is a joke...

The ratings curve seems to pretty much reflect this.  I'm passing...
Not my cup of tea.

Measured by the standards of Bad Bunny, this is quite ok.
But still, as soon as he starts singing, it sounds all as pretentious as his Wikipedia photo.
Bad Bunny scores a bad rating, could it be that most don't speak Hovitos?
if only they did.
I always try to give songs I may not like a chance and listen to them more than once.  Just not a fan of this. Maybe it will grow on me later. Thanks for the skip button!
Well I like it

Well, not really my bag but it's why I come to RP for all my listening pleasure.
I have to say, knowing the context the lyrics (which I just translated into English) are poignant. Not my favorite genre but I dig what he's doing. 
Thing of it is: there's just not much here.   Not much effort was made.  It's nothing. 

I can see how this might be quite good if the genre fits for you. Does not at all for me, so I will gratefully PSD.
I guess bad bunny has heard of the Fabulosos Cadillacs Matador. I think the 3.7 maybe the lowest ranking ?

Make it stop
This is pretty terrible....

Please, no!  Just no...

7 ratings. no comments. So I guess this day I may the first.

 I tell my Portland reared, New York City living daughter I am not a hip hop (present day) fan….but Latin Trap is a sub genre that i can "kinda" wrap my head around. Perhaps its because I can't easily detect the f-bombs every 4th word (which is one of my main reasons for avoiding the tunes, because the poetry, and the authenticity i truly admire).  Additionally, i've decided I cannot bury my head in the sand of 60s-80s music I grew up with forever.  So, thank you William and Alanna for continuing the eclectic vibe going. I remain a contributing listener.

Finally Maui No Ka O and Make It Paradise



Love this.

Kudos for having the courage to change your mind, William.  This is also the first time I have heard Bad Bunny.  It's pretty good!

Incidentally, this is also the first time I have seen a track in the app with 0 votes.  The histogram didn't even appear on screen.  (Of course, it didn't stay that way for long...)
