Spanish Words to Learn Before Super Bowl Halftime Show: Bad Bunny Song Names & Lyrics
With Bad Bunny performing at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, I've assembled a list of Spanish words to learn before the Super Bowl halftime show.
The Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 2026 on Sunday, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. ET (NBC/Peacock). Whether you don't know a single palabra - that means “word” - in Spanish, or you took a few Spanish classes in high school, this list will give you a solid base for Bad Bunny's halftime show.

🧐 How I chose which Bad Bunny songs to include
Our C Jackson Cowart did most of the heavy lifting by breaking down Bad Bunny's Super Bowl setlist ahead of his performance on Sunday.
I combined Jackson's article with the latest prediction market odds from Kalshi to get a sense of which songs Bad Bunny is most likely to perform at Super Bowl 2026.

After getting a good sense of what Bad Bunny's set will probably look like, I compiled a list of his hit songs along with notable lyrics.
I grew up in an Argentinian-Uruguayan family - and lived in Montevideo, Uruguay, for a while - so I speak enough Spanish to translate these words into English. (However, if you ask my grandmother, she’ll say my Spanish was much better when I was a child.)
📜 Spanish words to learn before Super Bowl halftime show
Here’s a list of the Spanish words and phrases before I break them down in detail further down:
| Word/phrase | Translation |
|---|---|
| Baile inolvidable | Unforgettable dance |
| Debí tirar más fotos | I should've taken more photos |
| Tití me preguntó | Auntie asked me |
| Muchas novias | A lot of girlfriends |
| El apagón | The blackout |
| Un verano en Nuevayol | A summer in New York |
| Voy a llevarte pa' PR | I'm going to take you to P.R. (Puerto Rico) |
| Por la mañana, café; por la tarde, ron | Coffee in the morning; rum in the evening |
| Me porto bonito | I behave well |
| La mudanza | The move |
💃 Baile inolvidable
Translation: Unforgettable dance
Kalshi's market predicts a 96% chance that Bad Bunny will perform "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" on Sunday.
This is a very literal translation - as you'll see later, some of the others aren’t. Baile is the Spanish word for “dance,” while inolvidable means “unforgettable.” Put them together, and you have a song with over 1 billion streams on Spotify.
📷 Debí tirar más fotos
Translation: I should've taken more photos
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS is the name of Bad Bunny's 2025 album, which won Album of the Year at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
Bad Bunny's song “DtMF” is an acronym for the phrase and also has a 96% chance of being played on Sunday. Debí means “I should’ve,” tirar means “to take [a photo],” más means “more,” and fotos means “photos.”
❓ Tití me preguntó
Translation: Auntie asked me
"Tití Me Preguntó" is a hit song by Bad Bunny released in 2022.
Tití is slang for "aunt," similar to "auntie" in English, and me preguntó means "asked me." The song begins with Bad Bunny's aunt asking him if he has muchas novias.
❤️ Muchas novias
Translation: A lot of girlfriends
Muchas means "a lot," and novias translates to "girlfriends."
If and when Bad Bunny performs "Tití Me Preguntó" during the halftime show, you will hear muchas novias repeated over and over - so you can impress your friends at your Super Bowl party by knowing the lyrics.
⚫ El apagón
Translation: The blackout
El is the masculine form of the Spanish word for "the," and apagón translates to "blackout."
"El Apagón" is a Bad Bunny song from 2022 that references gentrification and the LUMA Energy power outages.
🗽 Un verano en Nuevayol
Translation: A summer in New York
There's an 80% chance that Bad Bunny performs "NUEVAYoL" on Sunday.
The song - which features a sample of "Un Verano en Nueva York" by Andy Montañez and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico - repeats the phrase several times. Un verano means "a summer," while en Nuevayol translates to "in New York" and is written phonetically in a Puerto Rican accent.
🛫 Voy a llevarte pa' PR
Translation: I'm going to take you to P.R. (Puerto Rico)
"VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR" is another song from Bad Bunny's 2025 album.
Voy a llevarte means "I'm going to take you," pa' is a shorter way of saying para - which means "to" in this sentence - and PR (pronounced "pe-erre" phonetically) refers to Puerto Rico.
☕ Por la mañana, café; por la tarde, ron
Translation: Coffee in the morning; rum in the evening
"CAFé CON RON" is a Bad Bunny song with an 83% chance of being played on Sunday, and the first half of the song repeats the phrase five times.
Por la mañana means "in the morning," and café means "coffee." Por la tarde translates to "in the evening (or afternoon)," and ron translates to "rum."
👼 Me porto bonito
Translation: I behave well
"Me porto bonito" is a song by Bad Bunny from 2022 featuring Puerto Rican singer Chencho Corleone.
Me porto means "I behave," while bonito in this context means "well." The phrase is used in the song to convey that the singer will behave himself if he gets a chance with the woman he's singing to.
📦 La mudanza
Translation: The move
While there's only a 65% chance on Kalshi that Bad Bunny will perform "LA MuDANZA" on Sunday, we'd rather be safe than sorry.
La is the feminine form of the Spanish word for "the," while mudanza translates to "move," as in moving from one house to another. It is the closing track on DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, so it felt only right to wrap up our Spanish lesson with the term.
We likely won’t have to learn words from another language for next year’s show, as the top 12 favorites in our Super Bowl halftime show performer odds for 2027 primarily make music in English.
What is Kalshi and how does it work?
Kalshi is a U.S.-regulated prediction market exchange, overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where you trade on the outcome of real-world events by buying and selling simple contracts that pay out $1 if a specific result happens and $0 if it does not. Think of it like betting with a stock-market-style order book instead of a sportsbook. For example, in an NFL-style market, there could be a contract asking whether the Buffalo Bills will win the Super Bowl. If you think they will, you might buy a “Yes” contract at 35 cents, which implies a 35 percent chance. If the Bills win, that contract settles at $1, meaning you make 65 cents per contract. If they lose, it settles at $0. Prices move based on supply and demand as traders buy and sell, so the market itself reflects the crowd’s collective probability. Unlike traditional betting, you can sell your position early to lock in profit or cut losses, and the focus is on forecasting outcomes rather than beating a fixed house line.
How does Kalshi differ from sportsbooks?
Kalshi differs from sportsbooks because you are trading against other users in an open market, not betting against a house that sets and moves the line. Prices are driven by supply and demand, you can exit positions early by selling, and odds are expressed as probabilities in cents rather than traditional spreads or moneylines. Sportsbooks, by contrast, offer fixed wagers with built-in vig and no ability to trade once the bet is placed.
Why should I wager on Bad Bunny's halftime show at Kalshi?
Kalshi offers four unique advantages over traditional sportsbooks:
- Flexibility: Unlike a "locked-in" bet, you can sell your contract at any time.
- Transparency: You trade against other users, which can allow you to find better value.
- Federal regulation: As a CFTC-regulated exchange, your funds are held in a secure, transparent environment.
- Availability: Kalshi is available in many regions where traditional sportsbooks aren't yet legal.
