Bad Bunny - Yonaguni (English Translation)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-eh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Another night and extra glasses of wine
You don't leave me alone, you don't leave my mind
[Chorus]
Even though I know that I shouldn't, ayy
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name comes to mind, your face, your laugh, and your hair, ayy
Tell me where you're at, for you I'll get on a flight
And to Yonaguni I'll make it, oh
Even though I know that I shouldn't, ayy
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name comes to mind, your face, your laugh, and your hair, ayy
Tell me where you are, for you I'll get on a flight
And to Yonaguni I'll make it, ayy
[Verse 1]
Don't look for me on Instagram, mami, look for me at home
So that you see what happens, ayy
If you try me, you'll get married, ayy
That bastard doesn't even hug you
And I'm dying to touch you
But I don't dare text you
You kill it in any outfit
Mami, you are different
Shorty, you have a big ass, eh
Ve-Very big
And I have it studied, I'm about to graduate
And on my face I'll tattoo it
I saw that you saw my story and you uploaded one for me
I was going to sleep, ayy
In the club there were a thousand women
And I'm dancing with you in my mind
Even though I know that I shouldn't
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name comes to mind, your face, your laugh, and your hair, ayy
Tell me where you are, for you I'll get on a flight
And to Yonaguni I'll make it
[Verse 2]
If you give me your address, I'll send you a thousand letters
If you give me your bank account, a million pesos
The whole night on my knees I pray to God
So that before the year ends you give me a kiss
And to start 2023 fucking good
With you and a blunt
You look like an assassin with those jeans (Woo!)
You kill me without a pistol
And I'll buy you a Banshee
Gucci, Givenchy
A poodle, a frenchie
The weed, the munchies
I'll sing mariachi to you
I'll become Itachi, eh
[Bridge]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Bad Bunny, baby, baby
Bad Bunny, baby, baby
I want to have sex today
But only with you
Where are you?
Where are you?
I want to have sex today
But only with you
Where are you?
Where are you? Eh
About
“Yonaguni” is the second single that Bad Bunny released in 2021, the first being “100 MILLIONES” with Luar La L in May. The title of the song refers to the Japanese island Yonaguni. On this island are the Yonaguni Structures, which—it is speculated—are vestiges of an ancient city that ended up being submerged under the ocean.
In the lyrics, Benito is opens up about the romantic feelings he has for a woman he is apparently in love with, mentioning that he cannot get her out of his mind and it is inevitable to remember her when drinking alcohol. Despite these feelings, in Bad Bunny eyes this relationship is wrong because the woman already has a partner. However, in comparison to this relationship, his desire for her is stronger and the song ends up being an invitation to the woman to leave her partner and run away with him, using to the island of Yonaguni as a metaphor to explain how far he would go for his feelings.
The song’s existence was made known to the public on May 28, 2021, when it was stated in a Pitchfork article. In this article, it is mentioned that during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Bad Bunny had said that “Yonaguni” would be his next single. Furthermore, he stated in the said interview that the song was composed from his most recent feelings—being written only three weeks before its release—and it is melodious, smooth and danceable, oriented to enjoy the summer.
