Onisciente translates to "omniscient," meaning all-knowing. It's a powerful and less common word that immediately grabs attention, especially in a song that delves into profound themes.
In the context of Daddy Yankee's song, which explores the nature of God, Onisciente is used to describe God's infinite knowledge, emphasizing His divine attributes alongside "Onipotente" (omnipotent) and "Onipresente" (omnipresent). This word choice elevates the lyrical content and offers a unique vocabulary lesson.
Daddy Yankee spends eighty three seconds not singing. He asks "¿Quién es Dios?" (Who is God?) and then answers it like a man reading out a list he has checked twice: "Onisciente todo lo sabe" (Omniscient, he knows everything), "Onipotente todo lo puede" (Omnipotent, he can do everything), "Onipresente está en todas partes" (Omnipresent, he is everywhere). The three lines land in a row over a bare beat, and the effect is closer to a creed than a chorus.
Then it turns personal. "Ponché mi pasaporte pa' entrar al reino" (I punched my passport to enter the kingdom) is the one image here that is his own rather than borrowed from scripture, and the rest of the track is the invitation: "Un reino que invita a todo el mundo sin excepción" (A kingdom that invites everybody without exception), with one condition attached. Coming from the man who made "Gasolina", the opening question is doing a lot of work.
