Intro

You are not a saint, nor am I a saint

We met while sinning

Now you're looking for me

Because you want more from me

And I give it to you

You get off and I leave

Or: I make you come and I bounce

I told you this was for playing

That you couldn't fall in love

Chorus 1

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

Verse 1

Babe, we're opposite poles

I always dodge Cupid's arrow

We have secrets kept in the archive

There will be no trust if I live with you, baby

You're getting turned on, I'm getting turned on

Or: You're getting turned on, I'm getting turned on

And you say that you're tough, but sometimes you drop the act

And you come back and turn me on

But I'm not the man that you need

Prechorus 1

I'm not about smooth talk, no

You knew what was going on, baby

Romance isn't my thing, no

Don't tell me that you fell in love with me

I'm not about smooth talk, no

You knew what was going on, baby

Romance isn't my thing, no

Don't tell me you fell in love with me

Chorus 2

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

Verse 2

Don't tell me that you want me

Don't tell me that you love me

You know that I don't believe you

Much less in your bed

We're still wrapped up in the lust

The whole night

Falling in love is not for everyone

With my heart inside the fridge

I keep it cold, cold, sorry, but I trust nobody

You keep doing your thing, and I do mine

Good night, it was a pleasure

But you're not going to convince me

Prechorus 2

I'm not about smooth talk, no

You knew what was going on, baby

Romance isn't my thing, no

Don't tell me you fell in love with me

I'm not about smooth talk, no

You knew what was going on, baby

Romance isn't my thing, no

Don't tell me you fell in love with me

Chorus 3

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

And now you want to change me

Knowing how I am, you know what I give

Don't pretend, you are the same

Don't act like a saint, you love twerking

Lots of parties, lots of money

labia — smooth talk / gift of gab

Labia is a popular colloquial term for 'smooth talk' or the 'gift of gab'. It refers to the special skill of using charming and eloquent words to persuade, flirt with, or sweet-talk someone.

In the song, Bad Bunny sings, "Yo no voy con labia", which means "I don't do smooth talk". He's saying he's direct and honest about his intentions, warning the other person not to expect romantic sweet-talk from him.

Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee team up on "La Santa" to deliver a blunt reality check to someone catching feelings after a casual fling. The title translates to "The Saint," and the main message is simple: stop pretending to be innocent when you knew the rules from the start. Bad Bunny calls it out immediately, singing "Tú no eres una santa, ni yo soy un santo / Nos conocimos pecando" ("You are not a saint, nor am I a saint / We met while sinning"). He warns her that this arrangement was only ever "pa' jugar" ("to play around"), so trying to change him into relationship material now makes zero sense.

Daddy Yankee jumps in to double down with zero sweet talk, straight-up telling her "Yo no voy con labia" ("I don't do smooth-talking / sweet talk") and "El romance no es mi área" ("Romance is not my area"). He even jokes about keeping his heart on ice: "Con el corazón dentro de la nevera / Lo tengo frío, frío" ("With my heart inside the fridge / I keep it cold, cold"). Both artists remind her that she loves the nightlife and party dancing just as much as they do ("el perreo te encanta"), making this track a direct, high-energy anthem about leaving Cupid behind and keeping things strictly no-strings-attached.
