[Intro]
How did this moment come about?
The year flies by
But this month always goes by slowly
It passes seriously and threateningly
The sky is darkening
And the wind is already blowing
The sea is getting angry
And the mountain is praying
[Chorus]
Hey, it's starting to rain, it's going to pass again
A storm is coming, a storm is coming
It's starting to rain, it's going to pass again
A storm is coming, who's going to save us?
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
And may God protect Borinquen
In the name of the Father, of the Son
[Verse]
And of the Holy Spirit, may God protect my song
I don't want a canopy, I want his cloak, hey
Obviously the light is going to go away, God will know and it will never come back
The bridge that took them a while to build, the river grew and it will break
Pair of songs, save them in your cell phone for when the signal goes away
The signal has already been given and they don't want to see it, all that's left is for the Puerto Rican to want to wake up
Don't forget the old lady over there, who lives alone, we have to go help her
Remember that we're all from here, the people have to save it
Don't send me anything from the government, those bastards are going to hide
They're going to the street, just for photos, for me they can all go to hell
There were five thousand that they let die and we'll never forget that
The palm tree on which they want to hang the country one of these days we're going to knock it down
[Pre-Chorus]
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
And hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully, and hopefully it doesn't come, no
May it not come, no, but
[Chorus]
'It's starting to rain, it's going to pass again
A storm is coming, maybe a hurricane
'It's starting to rain, it's going to pass again
A storm is coming, who's going to save us?
[Bridge]
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me
Tell me if you want to spend it with me, eh-eh
So as not to sleep alone, sleep hugging
I'm not scared if you're by my side
Light a candle to see your face before going to bed
[Outro]
'I'm waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun is going to come out, ah-ah
'I'm waiting for the sun to come out
For the sun to come out
The sun is going to come out
[Intro]
In this section, Bad Bunny sets the tone by describing the arrival of an impending storm. He contrasts the passage of time, mentioning how the year seems to fly by while this particular month feels slow and ominous. The storm's approach is felt through nature's signals, as the sky darkens, the wind picks up, and the sea grows angrier. This introduction paints a vivid picture of anticipation and fear before the storm.
[Estribillo]
Bad Bunny expresses the recurring nature of storms, both literally and metaphorically. The rain begins, signaling that another storm is coming. He questions who will save them from this impending disaster, highlighting a sense of helplessness and uncertainty as the people of Puerto Rico brace for another natural calamity.
[Post-Estribillo]
This section shifts to a plea for divine protection. Bad Bunny prays for God to protect Borinquen (Puerto Rico), invoking religious imagery to express hope and faith during difficult times. This plea reflects the strong cultural connection between Puerto Ricans and their spirituality.
[Verso]
Here, Bad Bunny addresses the realities of living through a storm. He mentions the inevitable loss of power and the precarious infrastructure, like bridges, that are vulnerable to destruction. He also highlights the importance of community, urging people to look out for the elderly and each other, as the government cannot be trusted to help. His frustrations with corrupt leadership are evident as he recalls the thousands of lives lost during previous disasters, and he vows to never forget these tragedies.
[Pre-Estribillo]
Bad Bunny repeats the hope that the storm won’t come, chanting "Ójala" (God willing). This repetition conveys a deep sense of fear and desire for the storm to bypass Puerto Rico, yet there is an underlying acknowledgment that the threat remains ever-present.
[Estribillo]
The chorus returns, with Bad Bunny reinforcing the inevitability of the storm. This time, he also introduces the possibility of a hurricane, intensifying the urgency of the situation. The question of who will save them reappears, underscoring the collective anxiety of facing these challenges with little outside support.
[Puente]
In this section, Bad Bunny shifts the focus to a personal relationship, asking someone to face the storm with him. He finds comfort in the idea of being together during the storm, as nothing scares him when that person is by his side. The lighting of a candle represents a moment of intimacy and hope, even amidst the darkness of the storm.
[Outro]
Bad Bunny concludes the song with a hopeful note, waiting for the sun to rise. Despite the chaos and destruction, there is an expectation that the storm will pass and that a new day will come. The repetition of "the sun will rise" emphasizes resilience and optimism, even in the face of adversity.
