Here Are the English Lyrics to Bad Bunny’s Party Anthem ‘Despues De La Playa’

Bad Bunny opened the 2023 Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 5) with a party-starting performance of his tracks “El Apagon” and “Después de la Playa.” Far beyond, his energetic set—where he was joined by around 40 dancers and a 10-musician live band—was a homage to the Caribbean culture, especially Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

In the audience, an amused Taylor Swift was seen shimmying her shoulders and swaying her hips to the fast-paced mambo and merengue fusion.

A full-fledged party track about making plans after the beach, “Después de la Playa” is one of the most experimental tracks on Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, which nabbed the Grammy award for best música urbana album. The historic set debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and all 23 tracks entered the top 25 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart. “Despues de la Playa” debuted at No. 3.

Below, read the full lyrics translated into English.

You say I’m not a risk-taker
If you only knew that I’m on fire
Tell me what’s your game and I’ll play
Let’s not leave this for later
That the light’s already off
I wanna know if you want the same thing I do

Tell me where do we go after the beach
If we get dry, I’ll bring the towel
And later we get wet but in my bed
I’m going to give it to you hard
Tell me where do we go after the beach
If we get dry, I’ll bring the towel
And later we get wet but in my bed
I’m going to give it to you hard

Tell me, are we going to the mambo or not?
You tell me, baby
Zumba
What?
Ey-ey-ey
Today’s the day
Uh, ey

Tell me where do we go after the beach
If we get dry, I’ll bring the towel
And later we get wet but in my bed
I’m going to give it to you hard

Baby, you live far
But however, I’ll look for you
Because you’re fine and you deserve it
I want to give it to you in front of the ocean
So that the fishes can get happy
And you’re wet, I’m ready to ride you
Relax, I know this is once in a while
The other time you got drunk on the beach
And asked me to kiss you

How?
Ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Turn that on, turn that on, turn that on
How?
I’m with the apecha’o
No one call me today, ok?
I’m going to drink it all

Ey, everyone is drunk, dancing on the beach
Feeling the heat, feeling the heat
You’ve been looking and looking
It’s better if you get close, if you get close
We talk about that butt at all the barbershops
And in the corner store, the corner store (how?)
Ey, your boyfriend thinks he’s Romeo [Santos]
But I’m going to pull a Don [Omar]
I’m going to pull a Don, what, what, what?
I went out with your girl
God already forgave me, only you’re left

What, what, what?
I’m drunk, drunk
Ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
What do you think about this?
I’m not going to stop, ok?
Don’t stop, don’t stop
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (¿cómo?)
Ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
How exciting
Ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Don’t turn off
Ey-ey-ey-ey
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Tell me, after here
Wait,
Who’s this guy?
Who’s getting beers from our cooler, you
Are you with us?
Oh, okey-okey-okey-okey, go for it
