Chorus 1
In my life you were a tourist
You only saw the best of me
And not what I was suffering
You left without knowing why
The why of my wounds
And it wasn't your place to heal them
You came to have a good time
And we had a good time
Verse 1
A pretty photo
A beautiful sunset
A little dance
Your little gold chain
We were so close
Looking into each other's eyes
Tell me if you saw the sorrow
Of my broken heart
Bridge
That has been like this, been like this for a long time
That has been like this, been like this for many years
Hiding my feelings
I'm afraid that they'll hurt me more
And it's been like this, it's been like this for a long time
It's been like this, it's been like this for many years
Verse 2
I don't know, my love
What life will have
For you and for me
If it happens, well, it happens
And if not, well also
Let's enjoy, because
The night became beautiful
But not as much as you
Never ever like you
Chorus 2
In my life you were a tourist
You only saw the best of me
And not what I was suffering
You left without knowing why
The why of my wounds
And it wasn't your place to heal them
You came to have a good time
And we had a good time

SONG MEANING

Imagine a brief Caribbean getaway in someone’s heart. In “TURiSTA,” Bad Bunny compares a short-lived romance to a vacation visit: the other person was only a tourist who snapped pretty memories, danced under glowing sunsets, and enjoyed the best version of him. The catchy bolero groove feels warm and relaxed, yet the lyrics reveal that, behind the souvenirs and smiles, the host’s heart has been hurting for mucho tiempo.

The song’s bittersweet core is about appearance versus reality. While the couple “la pasamos bien,” the narrator hid old wounds that were never the tourist’s job to heal. He accepts the relationship’s temporary nature—“si se da, pues se da, y si no, pues también”—and chooses to savor the night anyway. With this mix of romance, resignation, and self-protection, Bad Bunny reminds listeners that even the most beautiful trips can leave unseen stories behind, and that sometimes enjoying the moment is the best passport we have.
