NO ME QUIERO CASAR Lyrics in English by Bad Bunny

Celibato translates to "celibacy", the state of abstaining from marriage and sexual relations. It's a very unusual and interesting word to find in a reggaeton song, which makes it stand out.

In "NO ME QUIERO CASAR", Bad Bunny uses it with a playful twist. He sings, "Por ahora celibato, voy a gozar un rato" (For now, celibacy, I'm going to have fun for a while), ironically pairing a word associated with abstinence with his intention to enjoy life. This clever wordplay highlights his commitment to staying single and celebrating his freedom.

In "NO ME QUIERO CASAR", Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny lays down his ground rules for life and love: he wants to get rich, live freely, and avoid walking down the aisle at all costs. Over an energetic reggaeton beat, he jokes that true love can wait because he wants to make his fortune first—promising, "Un día de estos llega mi amor verdadero / Pero, quiero hacerme rico primero" ("One of these days my true love will arrive / But, I want to get rich first"). He looks back at his come-up, comparing his old Mitsubishi Montero to riding in a modern Cybertruck, and takes pride in building his success through relentless work rather than luck: "Trabajando con cojones, aquí nada fue al azar" ("Working my balls off, nothing here was by chance"). Along the way, he drops fun cultural nods, like offering to be someone's "amante bandido, Miguel Bosé" ("bandit lover, Miguel Bosé," referencing the famous 1984 pop hit by Spanish singer Miguel Bosé).

The chorus is totally blunt: "Mi vida está cabrona / Yo no me quiero casar" ("My life is incredible / I don't want to get married"). He even admits he almost tied the knot once before while riding in a New York City taxi, breathing a funny sigh of relief that it fell through ("Gracias a Dios que no, wow, diablo, pero casi" ["Thank God no, wow, damn, but almost"]). Even when he feels a sudden wave of sadness, he shrugs it off quickly because he loves his daily freedom too much—enjoying red wine, sunsets, and laughing with his friends. By the end, he makes his boundaries completely clear to anyone trying to lock him down. He is focused on his hustle, telling his date not to take it the wrong way, but to make sure they close the door and put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign on their way out.
