Bad Bunny has started 2025 on a high note. Just before the end of 2024, Benito announced the release of his new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which is set to drop very soon on January 5th. Leading up to this announcement, he had already treated fans to three tracks: ‘EL ClúB,’ ‘PiToRRO DE COCO,’ and ‘Una Velita.’
What ties these songs together is a strong connection to his Puerto Rican roots, something he’s showcased in the promotional video for the album. His latest track, ‘PiToRRO DE COCO,’ , is no exception. Its music, lyrics, and the music video, which premiered on New Year’s Day, all highlight his deep connection to Puerto Rico. It’s clear that Benito has carefully planned every detail, and even the song’s title is a heartfelt nod to Puerto Rican culture and traditions.
What is ‘Pitorro de coco’?
In Puerto Rico, pitorro is a traditional homemade rum, often called ‘Puerto Rican moonshine.’ It’s made by distilling sugarcane or molasses and is known for its strong alcohol content. It’s a big part of Puerto Rican culture, especially during the Christmas season.
Pitorro de coco, translated as ‘coconut pitorro,’ is a coconut-flavored version of this drink. The base pitorro is mixed with ingredients like coconut cream, coconut water, or shredded coconut, giving it a sweet, tropical flavor. It’s a popular choice during holiday celebrations, where it’s shared among friends and family as a festive treat.
‘PIToRRO DE COCO’ English Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Another Christmas where I wished for you
Another Christmas, and you’re not here too
Happy New Year, but not so happy for me
Someone kissed you at midnight, and it wasn’t me
A year ago, I was there, a year ago, I was there
A year ago, your first hug was just for me
You had me on cloud nine, but like lightning, I fell
I fell, I fell, and now
[Chorus]
Not a single call, not even a message
The guys tease me, say I’m stuck in a phase
It’s 12:04, and I’m already wasted
Crying and drinking coconut pitorro
The one grandpa brought me to celebrate
Not for me to cry over a fling at midnight
[Verse 2]
I asked for you from the Wise Men and Santa Claus
The Wise Men ghosted me, and Santa never showed up
If you’re not here, it’s because that’s how God wanted it
I always knew you were bad, don’t think I’m blind
I’d close my eyes and kiss you again in my mind
With a double six and double five, you blocked my game
You and I are the same; we’ll meet again someday
[Bridge]
I hope I never meet someone like you again
You’re bad, you left like a flash
Still, your face came to me at midnight when the year ended
Uh, uh, uh, and it hurt
[Chorus]
Not a single call, not even a message
The guys tease me, say I’m stuck in a phase
It’s 12:04, and I’m already wasted
Crying and drinking coconut pitorro
The one grandpa brought me to celebrate
Not for me to cry over a fling at midnight
