NFL Super Bowl Halftime

There was a lot of conservative outrage when the NFL announced the half-time entertainer would be Bad Bunny. Despite singing mainly in Spanish, Bad Bunny is the second-most-streamed artist on Spotify of all time. Among the songs he performed during the Super Bowl halftime show were “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” “EoO,” “Safaera,” and “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR.” Below are partial translations of the lyrics, focused mainly on the story line and skipping repetitions.

Tití Me Preguntó (Auntie Asked Me) – Hey, auntie asked me if I have a lot of girlfriends. Today I have one, tomorrow I’ll have another, hey, but there’s no wedding. I’d like to fall in love But I can’t. Sorry, I don’t trust myself. Many want my baby gravy. They want to have my firstborn And take the credit. I’m bored already, today I want a brand new a–. Listen to your friend, she’s right; I’m gonna break your heart, break your heart.

Yo Perreo Sola (I Twerk Alone) – The DJ plays songs and she knows them all. She climbs on the table and doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. She smokes and gets horny. She’ll call you if she needs you. Drunk and crazy, she doesn’t care. Let’s twerk, life is short. You used to ignore me. Now I ignore you. I twerk alone.

EoO (?) – She’s coming around and she never shows up alone. Twerking, baby. Grinding, baby. All the way down, baby. I’ll grab you, baby. I go down on her and she gets happy. You’re listening to the most-selling artist. If I kiss you and you grab it, then I’m taking you with me. Hey, I’ll touch you while dancing, girl. Bring your bestie and we’ll take both your panties down.

Safaera (refers to a wild, carefree vibe, often associated with partying and debauchery) – Hell, what safaera. You have a fucking amazing ass. Move it, move it, move it, move it. How do you dare to show up without panties? Today you came out ready for me. She came ready now, down for a brushing. She sucks my lollipop, alone she gets on her knees.

Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR (I’m Going to Take You to Puerto Rico) – I’m gonna take you to Puerto Rico, baby, so you can see how we dance. Bring your friend if you like the idea, tell her we’re partying tonight. We’re gonna have a great time. Nobody’s getting married here, but you’re gonna want to stay. Your girls and their whole crew are fine as hell, but that ass of yours, wow, stands out. We left the club and it was already daytime. Obviously, I left with the one I wanted, hey. Long live the wild life. This is Puerto Rico, baby. This is where I was born, and so was reggaetón, just so you know. I’m on the hunt and I’ll die dancing. Let all the girls dance, we’re going all out. You’re listening to the one who does it best. Come on, baby, break free. Get on all fours ’cause I’m gonna hit it hard.

Sesame Street’s muppet, Elmo, was all cheers over Bad Bunny’s performance, prompting one former fan to tweet, “Elmo, I had no idea you were a fan of music that encourages drinking and random sex with strangers. You’ve changed, guy.

There were calls to boycott the NFL show. To fill the gap, Turning Point USA staged an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” that drew 10 million live viewers and 25 million social media views.
