DtMF Lyrics in English by Bad Bunny
Corillo is a popular Puerto Rican slang word for a 'crew', 'squad', or tight-knit group of friends. You won't find this in a standard Spanish textbook, making it a cool word to learn!
In the song, Bad Bunny shouts, "Métase to'l mundo, to'l corillo, vamos" (Everybody get in, the whole crew, let's go), creating a celebratory scene with his friends. Learning words like corillo gives you an inside look into the culture and community behind the music.
In "DtMF", Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny mixes tropical party energy with a sharp hit of regret. The song title stands for the central confession repeated in the chorus: "Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve" ("I should have taken more photos when I had you"). Watching a sunset in San Juan, he thinks about an ex and kicks himself for not taking more pictures or giving more hugs while he had the chance. Instead of staying home to mope, he rallies his real-life crew (calling out friends like Roro, Julito, and Cristal) to tear up the streets, play dominoes with his grandfather, and head to Santurce for a wild night out.
The track is packed with local Puerto Rican slang and culture. When he mentions partying to "la salsa, la bomba y la plena", he is shouting out traditional Afro-Puerto Rican musical styles alongside modern reggaeton perreo. He admits he is drinking so much that someone else needs to drive ("Cabrón, guía tú" / "Dude, you drive"), and by the end, he stops everything to gather his entire circle for a group photo: "vamos pa' la foto, vengan pa'cá" ("let's take the photo, come over here"). It is a song about realizing that moments slip away fast, so you might as well hold your friends close, document the good times, and dance through the nostalgia.
