Bad Bunny • From “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS”
BOKeTE Lyrics Translation (from “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS”)
Bad Bunny says you are pretty but you love to lie. He tells that he has loved five hundred fifteen times and with you it is five hundred sixteen. He says he is alive and stronger after the loss.
Eh SiHey, yeah.
6 Pm Frente Al Rio6 PM in front of the river,
Viendonos Los CorazonesWatching each other’s hearts.
El Agua Va CayendoThe water’s falling,
Preguntas Sin ContestacionesQuestions without any answers.
Mis Sentimientos Cambian Como EstacionesMy feelings change like the seasons,
Y Aunque En Pr Todo El Tiempo Es VeranoAnd even though it’s always summer in ‘Puerto Rico’,
Estoy Pasando Frio Escuchando Estas CancionesI’m feeling cold listening to these songs.
Pensando En Ti Pero No Te EmocionesThinking of you, but don’t get your hopes up,
Porque No Te Vo’ A EscribirBecause I’m not going to write to you.
Cual De Los Dos Es Quien Mas Va Sufrir No SeI don’t know which of us will suffer more,
Pero Ojala Que Seas Tu Ojala Que Seas TuBut I hope it’s you, I hope it’s you.
Pa’ Mi Que Va’ A Ser TuI’ve got a feeling it’ll be you.
Yo Ni Quiero CompetirI don’t even want to compete.
Tu Eres Linda Pero Te Gusta MentirYou’re pretty, but you love to lie.
Quedate En Tu Viaje Que Cuando Aterrice Nadie Va A AplaudirStay on your trip, ’cause when it lands, nobody’s going to applaud.
Ey Un Dia Va’ A Ponerte ViejaHey, one day you’re going to get old,
Vas A Mirar Pa’ Atras Y Te Vas A ArrepentirYou’ll look back and you’re going to regret,
De Que Lo Mas Real Que Has Tenido En Tu VidaThat the realest thing you’ve ever had in your life,
Lo Dejaste IrYou let it go.
Ey EyHey, hey.
Tu Ere’ Un Bokete En Pr Por Eso Es Que Te EsquivoYou’re a ‘pothole’ in ‘Puerto Rico’, that’s why I dodge you.
Ya No Hay Mas Poemas Pa’ Ti Este Es El Ultimo Que EscriboThere are no more poems for you; this is the last one I’ll write.
A-a Veces Vienen Los Flashback Tu Y Yo Ch#ngando AgresivoSometimes the flashbacks hit me, us f#cking so aggressively.
Te Iba A Llevar Pa’ Maya’ Y No Llegaste Ni A AreciboI was going to take you to ‘Mayaguez’, but you didn’t even make it to ‘Arecibo’.
La Invitacion De La Playita Se VencioThe invitation to the beach has expired.
Lo Mejor De Nosotros Nadie Lo VioNobody ever saw the best parts of us,
O Quizas Fue Que La Vida Nos Mintio Y Toco Decir AdiosOr maybe life just lied to us and it was time to say goodbye.
Y Vivir Como Vivia Antes De ConocerteAnd I’ll live like I did before I met you,
Viendo Fotitos Tuyas Probando Si Soy FuerteLooking at your little photos, testing if I’m strong.
Las Olas Con El Viento Los Perros Y La SuerteThe waves with the wind, the dogs, and just luck,
Tenia Miedo ‘e Perderte Pero No Mas Que A La Muerte Y Estoy VivoI was afraid of losing you, but not more than death, and I’m still alive.
Gracias A Dios Estoy Vivo Eso Es Lo Que ImportaThank God I’m alive; that’s all that really matters.
Yo Me He Enamorao Quinientas Quince Veces Y Contigo Son Quinientas DieciseisI’ve fallen in love five hundred and fifteen times, and with you, it’s five hundred and sixteen.
So Eso No Es Na’ NuevoSo this isn’t anything new.
Toca Seguir Pichar Y OlvidarIt’s time to keep ‘ignoring it’ and just forget,
Y Mas Adelante Si Hay Que Enamorarnos De Nuevo Nos Volvemos A EnamorarAnd down the road, if we have to fall in love again, we’ll just fall in love again.
Tu Sabes Que A Mi Me Gusta Estar Asi EnamoraoYou know I like being in love like that,
PeroBut…
Yo Ni Quiero CompetirI don’t even want to compete.
Tu Eres Linda Pero Te Gusta MentirYou’re pretty, but you love to lie.
Quedate En Tu Viaje Que Cuando Aterrice Nadie Va A AplaudirStay on your trip, ’cause when it lands, nobody’s going to applaud.
Ey Un Dia Va’ A Ponerte ViejaHey, one day you’re going to get old,
Vas A Mirar Pa’ Atras Y Te Vas A ArrepentirYou’ll look back and you’re going to regret,
De Que Lo Mas Real Que Has Tenido En Tu VidaThat the realest thing you’ve ever had in your life,
Lo Dejaste IrYou let it go.
