Flor Lyrics in English Los Rivera Destino , Benito Martínez
Siembra is the verb for "to sow" or "to plant" a seed. It's a word you'd typically hear in the context of farming or gardening, not a pop song.
In this tribute to fathers, the artists use siembra metaphorically to make a powerful point. They sing, "No es quien siembra una semilla / Es quien la conserva y la cuida" (It's not who plants a seed / It's who preserves and cares for it), suggesting that being a true parent is about the nurturing and love you provide, not just the biological act of creation. It's a beautiful use of the word that connects perfectly to the song's title, "Flor" (Flower).
“Flor” is a modern bolero where Los Rivera Destino and Benito Martínez (a.k.a. Bad Bunny) compare the people who raised them to a delicate flower that only blooms with warmth and care. Over gentle guitars, the singers admit that life did not come with YouTube tutorials; everything they know about love, resilience, and humor was modeled by the parent figures who “planted the seed.” The playful lines about gaining weight or being “just a reaction of an ejaculation” add a wink of Caribbean wit, yet the core stays tender: gratitude for the life and guidance they received.
In the chorus they flip the classic love-song script. Instead of serenading a romantic partner, they offer the bolero to dads, stepdads, grandparents, uncles, and mentors in Puerto Rico and beyond. The message is clear: a flower cannot grow without the sun, and love cannot grow without a little pain. By the final “te agradezco la vida,” the track feels like handing a bright bouquet to anyone who ever helped us grow.
