Verse 1

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

Reggaetón came out of Carolina

And the sons of b*tches from Bayamón

They want to ride the wave and haven't been to Rincón

A little kiss to grandma on the balcony

Hitting all the potholes, in the Rubicon

Puerto f*ckin' Rico

Verse 1

Land of Maelo and Tego Calderón

Ismael Ruiz Hernández, better known as Maelo Ruiz, is a New York City-born Puerto Rican Salsa singer. Tegui Calderón Rosario is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer and actor

And of Barea, the one who was champion

José Juan Barea Mora is a Puerto Rican former professional basketball player

Before LeBron

Damn it, another blackout

Let's go to the bleachers, to light a blunt

Before Pipo gets slapped

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

Verse 1

Forget Maldives

I'm staying in Palomino

If not, I'm going to the Dominican Republic

A shoutout to my neighbors

Here the heat is different

The sun is Taíno

The capital of perreo

Now everyone wants to be Latino, no

But they lack seasoning

Drums and reggaetón

Watch out for my crew

'Cause we are a lot

They lack seasoning

Drums and reggaetón

Watch out for my crew

'Cause we are a lot

Welcome to the heat

I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico

I like the p*ssy

I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico

I like it, I like it, I like it

I like the p*ssy from

I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico

I like it, I like it, I like it

He says

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome

It's f*cking awesome

I think that the audience knows

That this is something more or less informal

Outro 1

I don't want to leave here

Let them go

What belongs to me

They keep it

Let them go

Outro 2

This is my beach

This is my sun

This is my land

This is me

This is my beach

This is my sun

This is my land

This is me

SONG MEANING

Bad Bunny’s “El Apagón” is a vibrant love-letter and a loud protest rolled into one. Over a contagious reggaeton beat, he shouts out hometown heroes, legendary musicians and basketball champs while bragging that “Puerto Rico está bien cabrón” – Puerto Rico is freaking amazing. The chorus praises the island’s beaches, sun and wild nightlife, yet the title (The Blackout) hints at the darker reality: constant power outages, gentrification and outside investors pushing locals out. By repeating “¡Que se vayan ellos!” (Let them leave), Bad Bunny flips the script and defends the right of Puerto Ricans to stay on their own land and keep their culture alive.

The track jumps from playful lines like “me gusta la chocha de Puerto Rico” to sharp social commentary, mirroring the island’s mix of joy and frustration. It celebrates reggaeton’s birthplace, taíno sunshine and unbreakable community spirit while calling out those who “want to ride the wave” without truly understanding its roots. In short, “El Apagón” is both a party anthem and a rallying cry: dance, sing, light up a blunt in the bleachers – but never forget who the island belongs to and why its people keep fighting to protect it.
