Intro
One more night
And too many drinks
Or: And a few too many drinks
You don't leave me in peace
Or: You don't leave me alone
You don't leave my mind
Or: You won't leave my mind
Chorus 1
Although I know that I shouldn't
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your laugh, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, because I'd take a flight for you
And I'll pull up to Yonaguni
Or: And (even) to Yonaguni I'd come (to you)
Although I know that I shouldn't
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your laugh, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, because I'd take a flight for you
And I'll pull up to Yonaguni
Yonaguni is a remote island in Japan. This is likely not literal, but figuratively, as the island has an aura of mystery around it
Verse 1
Don't look for me on Instagram
Baby, look for me at home
So that you can see what happens
Or: So you can see what's going on
If you try me, you'll end up marrying me
That bastard doesn't even hug you
Or: That jerk won't even hug you
And I'm dying to touch you
Or: And I'm crazy about your touch
But I don't even dare to text you
You slay in any outfit
Baby, you're on another level
Or: Babe, you're something else
Shorty, you have a really big butt
Too big
And I've got it studied, I'm about to graduate
And I tattoo it on my face
I saw that you viewed my story
And you uploaded one for me
I was about to go to sleep
In the club there were a thousand
And I was dancing with you in my mind
Chorus 2
Although I know that I shouldn't
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your laugh, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, because I'd take a flight for you
And I'll pull up to Yonaguni
Verse 2
If you give me your address, I'll send you a thousand letters
If you give me your bank account, I'll deposit a million pesos
If you give me your bank account, (I'll send you) a million pesos
All night long, kneeling, I pray to God
So that before the year ends you give me a kiss
And start 2023 off really badass
With you and a blunt
You look killer in those jeans
Mahón in Puerto Rico is slang for jeans
You kill me without a big gun
And I'll buy you a Banshee
Gucci, Givenchy, a poodle, a frenchie
The weed, the munchies
I'll sing you a mariachi song
Mariachi is a genre of regional Mexican music
I turn into Itachi
Itachi Uchiha is a character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Itachi Uchiha (うちはイタチ) is one of the supporting characters and an anti-villain
I want to have sex today
Kyō wa sekkusushitai (Japanese)
But only with you
Demo anata to dake (Japanese)
Where are you?
Doko ni imasu ka? (Japanese)
Where are you?
Doko ni imasu ka? (Japanese)
I want to have sex today
Kyō wa sekkusushitai (Japanese)
But only with you
Demo anata to dake (Japanese)
Where are you?
Doko ni imasu ka? (Japanese)
Where are you?
Doko ni imasu ka? (Japanese)

Yonaguni — Yonaguni (a Japanese island)
Yonaguni is the name of a remote Japanese island, famous for its mysterious underwater ruins. It's a completely unexpected word to find in a Latin pop song, making it a very intriguing choice.
Bad Bunny uses the island as a powerful metaphor for going to the ends of the earth for someone he misses. He sings, "por ti cojo un vuelo / Y a Yonaguni le llego" (for you I catch a flight / and I'll get to Yonaguni), promising an epic journey just to be with them again. The song even ends with him singing a few lines in Japanese!
In "Yonaguni," Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny gets completely swept up in late-night longing, mixing drunk confessions with wild promises. The title itself sets the stage: Yonaguni is a remote, westernmost island in Japan. He confesses that after a few too many drinks, he cannot get an ex out of his head: "Dime dónde tú estás, que yo por ti cojo un vuelo / Y a Yonaguni le llego" ("Tell me where you are, and I'll catch a flight for you / And make it all the way to Yonaguni"). He watches her social media moves closely, noting how she viewed his story and posted one right back, leaving him stuck dancing with her only in his head while surrounded by a thousand people in a club.
The track is full of funny, over-the-top lines and distinct Puerto Rican slang. When he says "Tú te ves asesina con ese mahón" ("You look killer in those jeans"), he uses mahón, the classic Puerto Rican word for denim or blue jeans. His bribes to win her back range from designer clothes (Gucci, Givenchy) to an ATV (banshee), pet dogs (un poodle, un frenchie), and even offering to turn into the anime ninja Itachi from Naruto. He closes the track with an unexpected switch into Japanese, bluntly admitting "今日はセックスしたい / でもあなたとだけ" ("I want to have sex today / but only with you") and asking where she is. It is goofy, desperate, and remarkably catchy all at once.
