I have officially gone down the BAD BUNNY rabbit hole.
Just for the record, I hate rap, hard rock and a bunch of other genres.
What makes Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio special is his ability to blend different genres together. He also makes traditional folk style songs feel contemporary. Also, I've mentioned this before, he's able to take his songs into unexpected directions.
BAILE INOLVIDABLE is from BAD BUNNY'S album called DEBI TIRAR MAS FOTOS.
I can't describe in words how much I love this song. It makes me feel a wave of strong emotions.
The story begins with an elderly man registering for lessons at a dance school.
While he's on the dance floor, the camera pans from left to right and we see the elderly man standing next to other students. Then the camera pans in the opposite direction ending at the elderly man, only he's no longer old, he's now young again.
We get to see some of what he experienced when he was young, and we meet the woman he's never forgotten.

NOTE - I changed the translation in several places to better reflect the true meaning. Most online translations are absolutely abysmal.
I thought I was going to grow old with you
In another life, in another world it could be
In this case I only have to go one day
And only see you in the sunset
If you see me alone and sad, don't talk to me
If they see me alone and sad, it's my fault
Life is a party that one day ends
And you were my unforgettable dance
And you were my unforgettable dance
(voice-over from elderly man)
While one is alive
One must love as much as possible
I thought I was going to grow old with you
In another life, in another world it could be
In this case I only have to go one day
And watch the sky to see if you fall
If you see me alone and sad, don't talk to me
If they see me alone and sad, it's my fault
Life is a party that one day ends
And you were my unforgettable dance
No, I can't forget you
No, I can't erase you
You taught me to love
You taught me to dance
No, I can't forget you
No, I can't erase you
You taught me to love
You taught me to dance
Hey, tell me how I can forget you
There is a new step that I want to teach you
At night I can't even sleep anymore
All I do is dream of you
No, I can't forget you
No, I can't erase you
You taught me to love
You taught me to dance
As you kissed me, as I did to you
The way you looked at me, made me horny
It feels ugly not to have you close
The new babe is fine, but she doesn't have your little mouth
My devil, my angel, my crazy
My devil, my angel, my crazy
This sounds stupid
Let's do it again
Like last night, like last night
Squeeze, little boy, squeeze
There, there, there, let's go there!
No, I can't forget you
No, I can't erase you
You taught me to love
You taught me to dance
Oh, I can sleep with anyone
But I don't want to wake up with them
Only with you, with you
I dance with you, just with you
A kiss wherever you are, wherever you are, baby (no, I can't forget you)
No, I can't erase you
You taught me to love
You taught me to dance
And I have had many girlfriends
But none like you
I no longer have my sun, I spend my time on the moon
If I think about you, I'll jump from it
My devil, my angel, my crazy
My devil, my angel, my crazy girl
