Bad Bunny Nuevayol Lyrics English Translation
(Intro)
New York!
(Chorus: Andy Montañez & Bad Bunny)
If you wanna have fun
With charm and delight
You just have to live (Where?)
A summer in New York (New York!)
If you wanna have fun
With charm and delight (But what’s this?)
You just have to live (And this cold?)
A summer in New York (Just for a bit)

(Verse 1: Bad Bunny)
Hey, hey, hey, July 4th, 4th of July
I’m hanging out drunk with my cousin, feeling fly
My people in The Bronx know what’s up
Buzzing high over in Washington Heights
Willie Colón, they call me “The Bad One,” hey
‘Cause the years go by and I’m still hitting hard
Selling albums like Frida Kahlo paintings
The coke is white, yeah, yeah, the 2CB’s pink, eh-еh
Don’t get it twisted, no, no, bettеr avoid it, hey (Hey)
A shot of rum at Toñita’s house and Puerto Rico feels so close
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a championship, nobody can take it from me
The best, the greatest
Number one, the best, the greatest, okay? Puerto Rico!
How’s Bad Bunny gonna be the king of pop, hey, with reggaetón and dembow?
Hey, with reggaetón and dembow, yeah, with reggaetón and dembow
How’s Bad Bunny gonna be the king of pop, hey, with reggaetón and dembow?
I feel like Lápiz in “Capea El Dough”
When I was born, that’s when flow was born
Back and forth, ping-pong
A heavy flow, Big Pun
With a silencer, we steal the girls, James Bond, hey
I’m in my zone, I’ve got no rival, no
With the Yankees and the Mets, Juan Soto
Run, ’cause we’re knocking it out of the park again (Hey)
(Chorus: Andy Montañez & Bad Bunny)
If you wanna have fun
With charm and delight
You just have to live (We’re leaving soon)
A summer in New— (Relax, man)
(Interlude: Bad Bunny)
Shh, careful, don’t let anyone hear us
Shh, careful, don’t let anyone hear us
Shh, careful, don’t let anyone hear us
Shh, caref—
(Verse 2: Bad Bunny)
You’ve got swagger, baby, so do I
You’re hot, so am I
I smell good and I roll with the best
If you want it, you’ve got to move it
You’ve got swagger, baby, so do I
You’re hot, so am I
I smell good and I roll with the best
If you want it, you’ve got to move it
(Outro: Bad Bunny)
You’ve got to move it, move-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve
You’ve got to move it, move-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve
You’ve got to move it, move-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve
You’ve got to move it, move-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve-ve
