Bonito Lyrics in English Jarabe de Palo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bonito by Jarabe de Palo from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Pretty morning
Pretty place
Pretty the bed
How good the sea looks
Pretty is the day
That just started
Pretty life
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Verse 2
The phone rings, my buddy complains
Things are going bad, life weighs on him
That living like this no longer interests him
That going on like this isn't worth it
Love got lost, the party ended
The engine that pushes the earth doesn't run anymore
Life is a joke with a sad ending
The future doesn't exist but I tell him
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Verse 3
Pretty peace, pretty life
Pretty to be born again every day
Pretty truth when it doesn't sound like a lie
Pretty friendship, pretty laughter
Pretty people when there's quality
Pretty people who don't regret it
Who win and who lose
Who speak and don't lie
Pretty people, that's why I say
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Verse 4
How pretty it goes for you when it goes pretty
How pretty it goes for you
How pretty it goes for you when it goes pretty
How pretty it goes for you
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
The sea, the morning, the house, the shade
The earth, the peace and the life that passes
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Verse 5
Your calm, your sauce, the spot on your back
Your face, your desire, the weekend
Pretty people who come and who go
Pretty people who don't stop
Pretty people who have no age
Who listen, who understand, who have and who give
Pretty Portet, pretty Peret
Pretty rumba, pretty José
Pretty breeze that isn't in a hurry
Pretty this day, breathe, breathe
Pretty people when they're real
Pretty people who are different
Who tremble, who feel
Who live the present
Pretty people who were and aren't
Pretty, everything seems pretty to me
Verse 6
How pretty it goes for you when it goes pretty
How pretty it goes for you
How pretty it is to be when it is pretty
How pretty it is to be
How pretty it goes for you when it goes pretty
How pretty it goes for you
How pretty it is to be when it is pretty
How pretty it is to be

SONG MEANING

Bonito – which means beautiful in Spanish – is Jarabe de Palo’s sunny invitation to see the world through gratitude-tinted glasses. Instead of letting phone calls full of complaints or worries about the future drag us down, the lyrics pile up everyday wonders: the sea sparkling in the morning, the warmth of friendship, the honesty of a good laugh. With every “respira” (“breathe”), the song nudges us to pause, look around, and notice how many simple things already make life shine.

Beneath its catchy rumba-rock groove, the track delivers a down-to-earth lesson: happiness starts with perspective. Jarabe de Palo celebrates people who live authentically, give without hesitation, and accept both wins and losses. By repeating “Qué bonito que te va cuando te va bonito” (“How beautiful it feels when things go beautifully for you”), the chorus turns optimism into a melodic mantra. Sing along and you will not only practice Spanish vocabulary, you will practice seeing the good that is always within reach.
