Bad Bunny continues to surprise fans, this time dropping his new track, “Yonaguini,” at midnight on Friday (June 4). And in his new song, he sings in Japanese toward the end!
Putting aside his Latin trap roots and newfound alternative perreo sound, the Puerto Rican superstar returns to his vulnerable and emo lyrics, bringing to life a down-tempo, chill reggaeton song.
“Yonaguni,” Bunny’s first official single since he dropped his album El Último Tour del Mundo last November, is named after an island in Japan. In a gist, the song is about trying to overcome a breakup but missing that special person no matter how hard he tries.
The music video, directed by his go-to director Stillz, captures just that: a solo, heartbroken Bunny trying to live his life.
Below, check out the complete lyrics of “Yonaguni” translated to English:
[Intro]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-eh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
One more night and too many drinks
You don’t leave me alone, you don’t leave my mind
[Chorus]
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
[Verse 1]
Don’t look for me on Instagram, mami, look for me at home
So you can see what happens
If you try me, you’ll get married
That a–hole doesn’t even hug you
And I’m crazy to touch you
But I don’t dare to even text you
You kill it with whichever outfit
Baby, you’re different
Shorty has a big butt
Too too big
And I’ve studied it, I’m graduating now
And I’ll tattoo it on my face
I saw you saw my story and posted one for me
I was going to go to sleep
There were thousands at the club
And I was dancing with you in my mind
[Chorus]
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
[Verse 2]
If you give me your address, I’ll send you thousands of cards
If you give me your bank account, a million dollars
I’ll pray to God on my knees every night
So that you can give me a kiss before the year ends
And kick off 2023 awesome
With you and a blunt
You look killer with those jeans
You kill me without a gun
I’ll buy you a Banshee
Gucci, Givenchy
A poodle, a frenchie
The weed, the “munchie”
I’ll sing you a mariachi
I’ll turn into Itachi, huh
[Bridge]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Bad Bunny, baby, bebé
Bad Bunny, baby, bebé
[Outro]
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
