Velorio literally means a 'wake' or 'vigil,' the gathering held to mourn someone who has died. It's a powerful and dramatic word that you don't often hear in a pop song.
J Balvin uses it metaphorically, singing "voy a hacerte un velorio" (I'm going to hold a wake for you). He's declaring that the relationship is so completely over that it's 'dead' to him, creating a vivid and intense image of finality.
Colombian superstar J Balvin teams up with Bad Bunny for "ODIO" (Hate), and they do not hold back on the bitterness after a terrible breakup. Forget sweet post-breakup nostalgia; this track is completely fueled by spite and resentment. The chorus bluntly repeats, "Pasé de amor al odio / Que me perdone Dios, pero te odio" [I went from love to hate / May God forgive me, but I hate you]. They call out an ex whose lavish lifestyle suddenly stopped making sense: "En un yate en Miami, al otro día en Dubai / No me creas tan pendejo" [On a yacht in Miami, the next day in Dubai / Don't take me for a fool]. To drive the point home, they brag about moving on immediately, claiming, "Ando por ahí con otra en tu asiento / Ayer fuimos a comer y me gasté quinientos" [I'm driving around with another girl in your seat / Yesterday we went out to eat and I spent five hundred].
Beyond the petty flexing, the song gives learners great examples of authentic street slang and everyday idioms. When they warn "no te encojones" [don't get pissed off], they use Puerto Rican and Caribbean slang built around anger. Another fun idiom tucked into the verses is "si tienes tienda es pa' que la atiendas" [if you have a shop, you better run it], which literally translates to minding a storefront but figuratively means you need to take care of what is yours before someone else does. By the end, they make it clear there is zero room left in the schedule ("Pa' ti ya no tengo espacio en mi agenda" [I don't have space for you in my calendar]), offering wishes of sheer bad luck instead: "Lo mejor que me ha pasado fue perderte" [The best thing that happened to me was losing you].
