‘This is sick’: Bad Bunny’s Safaera ignites maelstrom of backlash after English translation

Following the most popular Super Bowl show in all of modern history, people began to translate the lyrics for catchy Bad Bunny songs like Safaera, DtMF, and MONACO.

Though the backlash surrounding songs like Tití Me Preguntó is completely laughable, the English lyrics for Safaera are considerably more explicit. It was the third song he sang during his Super Bowl halftime show, and it saw him standing on top of a building with a range of celebrities dancing underneath. Names included Pedro Pascal (obvs), Jessica Alba, Cardi B, and Karol G.

Safaera, which is the Puerto Rican expression for promiscuity, is about a life of partying, s*x, and drugs. You know, pretty standard stuff in the world of rap music. Still, it caused quite a stir with the gammons on Twitter.

Crashing out, poor Linda wrote: “Is this what @NFL considers family entertainment? Bad Bunny’s song lyrics ‘Safaera,’ do not align with @FCC indecency standards (patently offensive depictions of sexual/excretory activities), which apply regardless of what language it was sang in. This is sick.”

“And those weren’t even the nastiest one. Safaera is truly vile. This is only part of it,” someone else said.

A third wrote: “The translation of the lyrics to the English are so incredibly vile, profanely describing oral s*x, among other debaucherous actions. During this song, two men were grinding on each other on screen. Shame on you, NFL for promoting this.”

Here are the translated lyrics of Safaera so you can see what all the fuss is about.

He didn’t even perform the whole song, on account of his missing featured artists, so I don’t know why people are complaining. The overtly x-rated lines were omitted from the show.
