The Jonas Brothers Sing In Spanish In Sebastián Yatra's New "Runaway" Music Video
I am seriously loving all of these epic collaborations coming out lately, especially the ones that mix different cultures and languages to create something truly remarkable. On Thursday, June 20, Sebastián Yatra released the music video for "Runaway," a bilingual track with Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha featuring — wait for it — the Jonas Brothers! And it's seriously so good. Like, did you hear the JoBros singing in Spanish? I think I found another reason to love them. While "Runaway" may sound amazing already, trust me, it would sound even better if you understood the lyrics. Since "Runaway" does have both Spanish and English lyrics, I've done you English-speaking folks a favor and found the translations. So, what do Sebastián Yatra and the Jonas Brothers' "Runaway" lyrics mean? Let's take a look.
"Runaway" comes just a few weeks after the JoBros released their comeback album Happiness Begins on Friday, June 7. The song came with singles like "Sucker" and "Cool," which were released in March and April, as well as new songs like the Sophie Turner-inspired "Hesitate," and "Rollercoaster," which had old school fans experiencing nostalgia. Since the JoBros reunion has been all that anyone's been talking about, no wonder why Sebastián Yatra, Daddy Yankee, and Natti Natasha chose to work with Nick, Joe, and Kevin for an epic collab that would let the JoBros explore a brand new sound.
Ever since "Runaway" officially released on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music on June 21, I've been singing and dancing along to it non-stop. Thankfully, I know both English and Spanish, so I can understand the lyrics, but for those of you that aren't so familiar with the latter, here's what the lyrics for "Runaway" mean in full, according to LyricsTranslate:
