Intro 1
How did this moment come?
The year flies by
But this month always passes slowly
September is the peak month of hurricane season
It passes seriously and threatening
Intro 2
The sky is getting dark
And the wind is already blowing
The sea is getting furious
And the mountain praying
Chorus 1
It's starting to rain
It's going to happen again
Here comes the storm
A storm is coming
It's starting to rain
It's going to happen again
Here comes the storm
Who's going to save us?
Verse 1
And may God protect Puerto Rico
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
May God protect my people
I don't want a tarp, I want His mantle
Obviously, the light is going to go out
Puerto Rico still has electricity outages due to storms and poor service
God knows and it's never going to come back
The bridge that took too long to build
The swollen river is going to break it
A couple of songs saved on my phone
For when the signal goes out
The signal has already been given and they don't want to see it
It's that Puerto Rico needs to wake up
Don't forget the old lady over there
Who lives alone, we have to go help her
Remember that we all are from here
The people have to save the people
Don't send me anything from the government
The Trump administration blocked more than $20 billion in humanitarian aid for Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017
Because those motherf*ckers are going to hide it
They go on the street, for photos, nothing more
For me, they can all f*ck off
There were five thousand who were left to die
And that we will never forget
The palm tree on which they want to hang the country
The palm tree is the symbol used by the PNP, the main political party in PR
One of these days we're going to overthrow
Prechorus 1
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
That it doesn't come, no, but
Chorus 2
It's starting to rain
It's going to happen again
Here comes the storm
Maybe a hurricane
It's starting to rain
It's going to happen again
Here comes the storm
Who's going to save us?
Bridge 1
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
To not sleep alone
To sleep embraced
Bridge 2
Nothing scares me
If you are by my side
Light a little candle
To see your face
Before going to bed
Outro
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun is going to come out
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun is going to come out

SONG MEANING

“Una Velita” finds Bad Bunny swapping club lights for candlelight, delivering a storm-watch anthem that feels both urgent and intimate. He describes Puerto Rico holding its breath as another hurricane looms: skies darken, winds howl, power fades, and memories of past tragedies return. Between raw pleas to God and sharp jabs at corrupt officials, he rallies neighbors to help one another, insisting that Borinquen can only be saved by its own people.

Amid the tension, a tender invitation cuts through the chaos. Bad Bunny asks a loved one to weather the night by his side, lighting a single candle to see each other’s faces until the sun rises. That tiny flame becomes a powerful symbol of community, love, and the unbreakable hope of Puerto Ricans—proving that even in the fiercest storm, solidarity can keep the darkness at bay.
