Verse 1

Benito Martínez from Puerto Rico

Benito Martínez is the real name of the artist Bad Bunny

We started from the bottom now we're rich

'Empezamos' is the first person plural conjugation of the verb 'start' both in simple present and simple past. In this line it is clearly used in simple past.

But I never forget where I came from

And where it was that I wrote my first song

'Tema' can be a synonym for 'canción' (song)

Seven eight seven eight five eight

787 is the country code used in Puerto Rico

And the rest I give you later

From San Juan to Mayagüez

San Juan and Mayagüez are opposite sides of Puerto Rico

The New Religion, tell me if you believe

Verse 2

Yesterday I was a bagger

Bagger: a person whose job is to place items (such as groceries) in bags for customers

Today I am a millionaire

Mom's baby

The pride of my neighborhood

I mean power

Search it in the dictionary

Or: Look it up in the dictionary

Because this is Stephen Curry

The Warriors want me

Verse 3

But nothing

He rejects the idea of Warriors, implying he is still with Puerto Rico

I'm still with the Cangrejeros

Cangrejeros is a baseball team in Puerto Rico

With the Captains and the Cowboys

These 2 are also basketball teams in Puerto Rico

Even if tomorrow I go around the whole world

Even if the Banco Popular can't fit my money

Or: Even if at the Banco Popular they don't have room for my money

And I stay in Puerto Rico even if María comes

In the heat, this never gets cold

Calentón is slang for (in this line) 'anger', but here it may be just a reference to their warmth and passion as part of their culture

Here everyone puts in work, we all have courage

'meter mano' in Puerto Rico means 'to carry out an action, to work, to offer help', and 'tener cría' has the meaning of having courage, valor

The Enchanted Island, the blessed land

Or: The Island of Charm, the blessed land

Verse 4

And thanks mum for having given birth to me here

Near the beach and the coquí

The Coquí frog is a symbol of Puerto Rico

All sayayines, we have the chi

Sayayines and Ki are references to Japanese animated series Dragon Ball Z

The sun always shines on us

If I want this Christmas I celebrate riding jetski

'dar parranda' means to celebrate with music, food and drinks

Listening to salsa and reggaeton

Verse 4

Everyone served as inspiration

God bless my generation

The Bunny from the heart

SONG MEANING

Desde El Corazón is Bad Bunny’s love letter to Puerto Rico, served over a thumping reggaeton beat. In it, he retraces his journey “de abajo” to millionaire status while pledging never to forget the streets where he penned his first verse. Dropping area codes, beach sounds, and local basketball teams, he paints a vibrant picture of home pride: the sun that never stops shining, Christmas parranda parties on jet skis, and the ever-present rhythm of salsa and reggaeton. Every reference shouts, “I made it, but I’m still yours.”

The track is also a roll call of the island’s musical heroes. From Daddy Yankee to Héctor Lavoe, Bad Bunny tips his cap to the giants who cleared the path for his generation. By the time he signs off as “El Conejo desde el corazón,” the message is clear: success means little without honoring your roots, your people, and the culture that raised you. This is more than a brag; it’s a celebration of Puerto Rican resilience, unity, and limitless creative fire.
