Verse 1

Thanks to everyone who believed in me, from the first day

Since before I came out with a company

Since before they knew what you already knew

That I'm the best at this and the one who I would become

An icon for old and young

Thanks to all my Dominicans and my people in Puerto Rico

Every thing that I achieve, to you I dedicate

Even if sometimes you don't understand me and there are things that I don't explain

Being different feels great

But it feels better to always be true to your heart

Few are real, I know who they are

But time doesn't fail and always proves right

Like me, who hasn't failed a song

They hit the jackpot, I was the best investment

Better than you and him, because I do it with passion

Because I dreamed it a thousand times inside my room

Grandma, blessings, today I achieved another goal

It was great, I don't know if you saw me at the Super Bowl

I don't play basketball, but I'm a star

That's why they invite me to play with them

Chorus 1

My flow is NBA

I don't want to be a God, I don't want to be a king

If everyone wants to be me, everyone wants my DNA

They write me a paragraph and I reply 'Okay'

Verse 2

What's up with you, man? Nah, don't mess around

If LeBron is LeBron with 23 or with 6

By the way, I saw him yesterday, he was with me on stage

Give me a break, I'm talking to Triple H

Paul Michael Levesque, better known by the ring name Triple H, is an American business executive, actor, and retired professional wrestler

Because I don't break records, I tear them apart

This album is great, I made it for you

And in nine months I'll come back and release another

To retire calmly like Miguel Cotto

Although later I'm at home alone and bored

And although my best songs have not yet come out

But speaking clearly, people, I don't even sleep anymore

And this fame makes me even sick

Thanks to Dad and Mum for all the scoldings

Thanks to you, I'm the same every year

I remember, punished I used to go to bed

That's why now, as an adult

I do whatever I want

Did you like this lyrics translation?

regaños — scoldings / tellings-off

Regaños is the plural of "regaño," coming from the verb regañar (to scold).

In the line "Gracias a pai y a mami por to' los regaños," Bad Bunny thanks his parents for every telling-off that molded his character. It’s a colorful, less-common noun that learners rarely see in songs, making it both useful and memorable.

In "<3", Bad Bunny signs off his album YHLQMDLG with a direct, spoken-style thank you to everyone who backed him from day one. He is in full victory-lap mode, bragging that he hasn't missed on a single track ("Como yo, que no he fallado una canción" [Like me, who hasn't missed a single song]) and shouting out his spot performing at the Super Bowl: "Abuela, bendición, hoy cumplí otro goal / Me fue cabrón, no sé si me viste en el Super Bowl" [Grandma, your blessing, today I accomplished another goal / It went amazing, I don't know if you saw me at the Super Bowl]. He compares his consistency to LeBron James switching jersey numbers, drops lines about chatting with wrestling star Triple H, and teases that he wants to drop one more album in nine months so he can step away like Puerto Rican boxing legend Miguel Cotto: "Pa' retirarme tranquilo como Miguel Cotto" [To retire peacefully like Miguel Cotto].

Under all the swagger, though, he admits the celebrity life is wearing him out: "Pero hablando claro, gente, ya ni duermo / Y esto de la fama me tiene hasta enfermo" [Plainly speaking, people, I don't even sleep anymore / And this fame thing has me sick]. He grounds himself by thanking his parents for scolding him growing up, laughing that since he got sent to bed early as a kid, he now lives by the album's title: "Hago lo que me dé la gana" [I do whatever I want]. Puerto Rican slang powers the whole track: cabrón swings between meaning someone is incredible or calling out fake peers, domi gives love to his Dominican listeners ("Gracias a to' mis domi" [Thanks to all my Dominicans]), and pai y mami are warm neighborhood shortenings for dad and mom.
