Intro 1
Maybe my music isn't wholesome
Or: Maybe my music isn't clean / is explicit
But I didn't invent sex or marijuana
Where are the horny girls? Let them raise their hand
One more perreo and we're going to the Vatican
Call your mom to ask for her hand
Intro 2
I was in hell when I ran into a she-devil
She was selling her soul and I bought it right away
She's really hot, her friend is even hotter, let's go, the three of us
Let's go, the three of us, yeah
Chorus 1
Where are we? I don't know, who are you? I don't know
My God, forgive me because I sinned again
She's horny, I know it
We're going to f*ck, I know it
My God, forgive me
Verse 1
The club is lit because I showed up
Who's the hardest? Everyone knows it's me
Whoever bet against me, for sure got screwed
Connected in PR and in New York, York, York, York
I made this to piss them off
This is a Puerto Rican slang expression
What else am I going to do if I've already done everything?
I've already done everything, yeah
Hector Lavoe in the Fania
Hector Lavoe was at times part of the Fania All Stars recording numerous tracks with the band
Toni Kroos in Germany
Toni Kroos is a German football / soccer player
The one who taught Harry how to do magic
The hardest in PR, move to Pennsylvania
Don't get annoyed, no, no, no, don't get annoyed
I hope you dream of me when you go to bed
I hook up with the hood girls, I hook up with the snobby girls
Single mother, just like Lisha
Lisha Ramón Mejías is a young Puerto Rican single mother who was part of a public legal case around custody of her daughter
I make out with Villana, I make out with Tokischa
In the Dominican Republic, Tokisha has been highly criticized by conservative sectors for her open sexuality, while in Puerto Rico Villana has been criticized for the same and for being a person from the LGBT+ community
Whoever doesn't like it, it's because they don't get laid
Chorus 2
Where are we? I don't know, who are you? I don't know
My God, forgive me because I sinned again
She's horny, I know it
We're going to f*ck, I know it
My God, forgive me
Verse 2
Maybe my music isn't wholesome
But I didn't invent sex or marijuana
To hell with those who criticize me
We're making money, and that annoys them
Here everyone fornicates
The waitress and the preacher
Wow, babe, you're very hot
Send me pics of Young Miko
She has me overthinking
The night got kinky
Three fingers in the p*ssy, the pinky in the a*s
The purple weed buds like Tinky Winky
This has a double meaning, related to marij*ana, as 'moñas violetas' in this sense can be 'purple buds' - moñas de marijuana
A spanking and I leave her like Po
I do her where she pees and where she poops
God is watching you, God is listening to you
That's what we're teaching our children
To believe in God, you don't have to be a minister
No man on Earth has the right to judge in the name of Christ
I know He doesn't give a f*ck how I'm dressed today
If He comes down tomorrow, He might catch me at the club
And if He sees everything, I know that He has seen me
Very drunk in the VIP
He knows by heart the ones I've hooked up with
Or: He knows by heart the ones that I've screwed
If I told you I love you, my love
I lied to you again
I lied to you again
I lied to you again
Chorus 3
Where are we? I don't know, who are you? I don't know
My God, forgive me because I sinned again
She's horny, I know it
We're going to f*ck, I know it
My God, forgive me
Maybe my music isn't

VaticanoVatican

Vaticano is the Spanish word for the "Vatican". This word is the core of the song's shocking and clever central theme.

Bad Bunny famously sings, "Un perreo más y nos vamos pa'l Vaticano" (One more perreo dance and we're off to the Vatican). He creates a powerful contrast by mixing the sacred symbol of the Vatican with the profane, sensual world of a reggaeton party. This unexpected word choice is key to understanding the song's message about religion and hypocrisy.

Bad Bunny kicks off "BATICANO" by facing his critics head-on. He says, "Tal vez mi música no sea sana / Pero yo no me inventé el sexo ni la marihuana" (Maybe my music isn't wholesome / But I didn't invent sex or marijuana). He's not apologizing for his explicit lyrics; he's just reflecting the world as he sees it. The song is a celebration of partying, desire, and living without shame, all set to a classic reggaeton beat. The title itself comes from the wild, funny line "Un perreo más y nos vamos pa'l Vaticano" (One more perreo dance and we're off to the Vatican), mixing the sacred with the profane in a way only Bad Bunny can.

Throughout the song, he playfully asks for forgiveness while describing exactly what he's doing wrong: "Dios mío, perdóname porque otra vez pequé" (My God, forgive me because I sinned again). But he also pushes back against judgment from others. He argues that you don't need to be a priest to believe in God and that no one on Earth has the right to judge in God's name. He even imagines God seeing him drunk in the VIP section of a club, suggesting that God understands and accepts him as he is, flaws and all.
