On February 8, Bad Bunny will become the first Latino artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show solo. While icons like Shakira, J Balvin, and Gloria Estefan have graced the stage before, Benito’s performance marks a new milestone: a setlist delivered entirely in Spanish.
The official tracklist is still under wraps, but fans are already speculating. One song keeps popping up in predictions: 'Safaera,' the viral anthem that exploded across Latin America during the 2020 pandemic. Its chaotic, unapologetic energy makes it a top contender for the halftime stage.
So, what does safaera actually mean? The word is Puerto Rican slang with no direct English translation. Depending on context, it can describe:
- a wild situation
- a crazy, out-of-control party
- a freaky, intense vibe
- chaotic but fun energy
When someone says “qué safaera”, they’re reacting to something loud, excessive, sexually charged, and unapologetically messy. In the context of the song, it’s about a night with no rules, pure chaos, desire, and party energy turned all the way up.
'Safaera' – English Translation (Explicit)
[Refrain]
Damn, what a freak
You’ve got a crazy a**
Anything you put on shuts down the whole street
Move it, move it, move it, move it
What a freak
You’ve got a crazy a**
Anything you put on shuts down the whole street
Move it, move it, move it, move it
[Verse 1]
That’s disrespectful, baby
How do you dare come without panties?
Tonight you came dressed for me
I thought you were coming just to sleep
She came ready, dressed for action
She sucks my lollipop, gets on her knees by herself
How do you dare, baby, to come without panties?
[Interlude]
Hey, talk to me,
DJ Orma Who do you think you are?
Damn b*** I do whatever I want
Tell them, Bunny Ey, ey
[Chorus]
Tonight we drink, tonight we spend
Tonight we smoke like a rasta
If God allows it
If God allows it
Tonight we drink, tonight we spend
Tonight we smoke like a rasta
If God allows
it If God allows it
[Verse 2]
Real G, guiding the new generation with the real thing
Sexual energy on a galactic level
Yeah, just to get your panties wet
Put that freaky energy into everything
More freaky than Betty Boop
The one who got horny, baby, was you
I keep killing it with the U
P*** with d***, d*** with a** (push it) x3
Tits brushing my nipples (push it)
This year I don’t want little h*** (push it)
They see you iced out and want to hit on you (push it)
They see you all turned up and want to hit on you (push it)
’Cause you’re fine as hell, ’cause you’re fine as hell (push it all the way)
Big t*** like Lourdes Chacón
Big a*** like Iris Chacón
I don’t know about the p*** ’cause
I haven’t seen it
But let’s go to bed so I can smash you with panties on
[Chorus]
Tonight we drink, tonight we spend
Tonight we smoke like a rasta
If God allows it
If God allows it
[Verse 3]
Baby, what do you want?
Your shark just arrived
I wanna grind on you and smoke a blunt
See what that outfit is hiding
I wanna grind on you and grind on you and grind on you
I wanna grind on you and smoke a blunt
I wanna grind on you and grind on you and grind
I wanna grind on you and smoke a blunt
The track already blew me up
The girl dancing lost control
That a** deserves everything x2
[Interlude]
Ah! I thought it was slowing down
Alright, alright, let’s go again
Watch Orma, watch Orma, he’s horny
[Verse 4]
My **** is loose and I want you to hide it
Grab it like it’s bongos
She pops a pill that gets her horny
She f***s in Audis, not Hondas
If I put it in, don’t call me
This isn’t so you fall in love
If your boyfriend doesn’t eat your a**
Then he shouldn’t eat at all
[Bridge]
Come down to my place, I’ll lick you all over
Baby, I’ll lick you all over
Come down to my place,
I’ll wreck you completely
I’ll wreck you completely
Come down to my place,
I’ll lick you all over Baby,
I’ll lick you all over
Tell me, servant If you smoke w***
[Verse 5]
Jowell, baby, baby, baby
Grinding like a boss
You can tell she f***s good when she’s high
I wanna take a selfie with that huge ***
I’ve got it standing straight, you can tell
What are we gonna do with that huge ***?
In college they’re all A’s
But those tits are C’s
You’re a super freak, baby,
I know I’m a freak too, what are we gonna do?
With that bum-bum, show it off x3
