Love and Simplicity by the Seaside: A Journey with Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny's song 'WELTiTA', featuring Chuwi, is a celebration of simple and genuine love, set in a tropical backdrop. The lyrics describe a perfect day at the beach, where the artist expresses his desire to spend time with his loved one, showering her with affection and kisses. The beach, a central element in Puerto Rican culture, is a place of refuge and happiness, where the problems of daily life seem to disappear.
In the visualizer video posted on his official YouTube account, Bad Bunny mentions the first colonization of Puerto Rico (1508-1600). This period was marked by an economy based on the exploitation of gold, the mineral that adorned the bodies of the indigenous people. This pursuit of gold led to a regime of exploitation and enslavement of the natives, whose populations were decimated by violence and diseases brought by the colonizers. Despite the tragedy and oppression, the bond with the land and local culture remains a symbol of resistance and identity for Puerto Ricans.
Bad Bunny uses metaphors and vivid imagery to convey the beauty and simplicity of love. He talks about drawing hearts in the sand and building castles that transform into villages, symbolizing shared dreams and hopes. The presence of mosquitoes on the coast, a common reality on tropical islands like Puerto Rico, is mentioned in a light and humorous way, with the practical solution of using a 'screen' to protect the special moment.
The song also highlights the importance of small gestures and moments, such as holding hands and dreaming together, which strengthen the bond between the couple. Bad Bunny captures the essence of a love that doesn’t need luxuries, but rather authenticity and emotional connection. The lyrics reflect a desire to escape to a place where only the couple exists, away from the world’s worries, and where the simplicity of seaside life becomes the perfect backdrop for love to flourish.
