Meaning of 'Safaera' — English Lyrics And Why It’s a Super Bowl Song Pick

Bad Bunny’s 2020 hit with Jowell & Randy and Ñengo Flow went viral globally, becoming a defining anthem of the era

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
