Verse 1

I didn't want to fall in love

And I went to party with my friends

I didn't think that finding you was my destiny

I told you baby, come closer, please

'Corazón' means 'heart' but it is also a term of endearment which means 'honey', 'baby', etc.

You have that little skirt, everyone goes crazy

'Vos' is another way of saying 'tú'; some Spanish-speaking countries use this older form of the second person singular pronoun, such as Nicaragua, Argentina, and others. 'Perder la razón' is literally 'to lose reason' but means 'to go crazy'

If you're liking it a lot

I ask you for forgiveness

Or: I apoligise

And after a vallenato we both leave

Vallenato is a Colombian music genre

Chorus 1

Because you, because you have that pretty face

I'm crazy about your body, what am I going to do

Without realizing, I lost myself in your little mouth

Don't look for me, because I never want to come back

Only an idiot is going to leave you alone

With that desire to kiss you, beautiful

Bonita can be pretty / beautiful, or it can also mean the equivalent of 'baby'

Don't be so bad, come give me a little turn

Or: Don't be so mean, come give me a little turn

You have what my body needs

Lit: You have that that my body needs

Oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman

You have what my body needs

Verse 2

From Colombia to the world, babe

You are one of those who breaks your head

'Romper la cabeza' (break your head) in this context would mean 'to drive you crazy'

Hottie, gorgeous, whatever you want, princess

'Mamasota' and 'mamacita' are coloquial terms used on an atractive woman

I'll take you to Medallo, we drink guaro and beer

'Guaro' is a liquor made in Latin America

And go ahead, let me see how

'Dale' is a term used to encourage someone to do something. It is used in a multiple of contexts with slightly different meanings

How you move it and you

How you dance it and you

How you move it and you

How you dance it

Go ahead, let me see how

How you move it and you

How you dance it and you

How you move it and you

How you dance it

Chorus 2

Because you have that pretty face

I'm crazy about your body, what am I going to do

Without realizing, I lost myself in your little mouth

'Dar cuenta de' means 'to account for', 'to give an account for', 'to realize'

Don't look for me, because I never want to come back

Only an idiot is going to leave you alone

With that desire to kiss you, beautiful

Bonita can be pretty, or it can also mean the equivalent of 'baby'

Don't be so bad, come give me a little turn

Or: Don't be so mean, come give me a little turn

You have what my body needs

Lit: You have that that my body needs

Oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman

You have what my body needs

Oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman, oh, pretty woman

You have what my body needs

Lit: You have that that my body needs

SONG MEANING

Picture this: you head out with your friends sworn not to fall in love, yet the moment the DJ drops the beat you lock eyes with someone who flips every plan on its head. Bonita captures that electrifying instant. Juanes, with Sebastián Yatra riding the groove, admits that one glance at her cara bonita and playful skirt makes him forget the world, surrender to the dance, and dive straight into her kiss.

More than a flirtatious anthem, the track is a postcard from Colombia: vallenato melodies mingle with reggaeton drums, promises of Medellín nights, guaro, and cerveza flow as freely as the chemistry on the floor. The chorus insists that only an idiot would leave you alone, underlining his determination to keep the party—and the romance—going. In short, Bonita is a joyful salute to spontaneous attraction, proving that sometimes the best love stories begin when you least expect them.
