Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra turns love into pure adrenaline in “Energía Bacana”. The lyrics compare his partner’s presence to a natural high: he says he has never smoked marijuana, yet her vibe lifts him higher than any substance could. Each kiss sends a rush to his head, melts away stress like an ice-cold beer, and turns an ordinary week into a never-ending Saturday. The repeated phrase energía bacana means "cool, awesome energy", highlighting how her positive spirit brightens every moment.
Beyond the playful metaphors, the song celebrates a relationship built on friendship, trust, and zero drama. Yatra admires her inner and outer beauty, praises the sisterhood she keeps around her, and feels blessed - "das ganas de darse la bendición" - to have her by his side. With Colombian slang like chimba ("awesome") and catchy pop beats, the track radiates gratitude: life was already good, but with her, he sings, "ya todo estaba bien y ahora estoy mejor" - everything was fine and now I am better. It is a feel-good anthem that reminds listeners how the right person can boost your mood, quiet your worries, and make you feel like you can touch the sky.
