BOKeTE Lyrics – Bad Bunny

BOKeTE Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
Bad Bunny starts by describing a moment at 6 p.m. by a river, feeling emotionally conflicted. He talks about how his feelings change like the seasons, and even though it’s always warm in Puerto Rico, he’s feeling cold due to the emotional weight of the songs he’s listening to. He’s thinking about a past lover but tries not to get too emotional, deciding not to write to her. He hints that he’s moved on, but still wonders if she will be the one to suffer in the end.

[Coro]
In the chorus, Bad Bunny expresses his frustration with his past lover. He doesn’t want to compete for her attention anymore because, although she’s beautiful, she’s a liar. He tells her to stay on her own journey, warning her that no one will applaud her when she returns. He predicts that she’ll eventually get older, look back, and regret losing the best thing that ever happened to her—him.

[Verso 2]
In the second verse, Bad Bunny describes the woman as a “boquete” (a hole or void) in Puerto Rico, which implies that she’s something incomplete or problematic, and that’s why he’s distancing himself. He’s done writing poems for her, marking his final attempt to express his feelings. He reflects on the passionate moments they shared but acknowledges that they never really went anywhere. The plans they made, like going to Maya, fell through. Their time together never reached its potential, and now he’s moving on. He’s realizing that it’s time to live his life as it was before meeting her—looking at her photos and trying to stay strong. Despite the fear of losing her, he realizes that life moves on, and he’s still here, alive, ready to face whatever comes next.

[Puente]
In the bridge, Bad Bunny expresses gratitude for being alive, which he says is the most important thing. He’s been in love many times before, and this relationship is just another chapter. It’s not a big deal to him anymore. He’s determined to move on and forget about her. If he needs to fall in love again, he’s open to it. He acknowledges that he enjoys being in love but is ready to let go of this particular relationship.

[Coro]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing Bad Bunny’s decision to stop competing for his ex’s attention. He recognizes her beauty, but her dishonesty makes it not worth it. He warns her that her actions will catch up to her, and when she looks back, she’ll regret leaving behind something real—him. He’s moving on, and while she may realize it too late, he’s done.
