I’m on the beach with my favorite girl

She’s chasing coke but I don’t dig it

’Cause the cops are around here

She’s drunk and they’re gonna make us

Dance the cha-cha-cha

I don’t like cocaine

I wanna enjoy the morning

I love the mezcal bar

Then we’ll hit the taco joint

I don’t like the club

’Cause of the trouble and the drunks

I like going to the fair

’Cause I can dance all day

What happened? What happened?

I’m talking about my crib

My heart’s locked up

Totally arrested

I can’t get out

Of this huge love

And it messed me up

It messed me up

Pretty, pretty like the moon

Cool like a painting

I don’t need it, I’m telling you

You’re my little princess from Andalusia

Your hugs are hot

You burn me without shame

We’ve got a problem

And now I’m locked up

I’m on the beach with my favorite girl

She’s chasing coke but I don’t dig it

’Cause the cops are around here

She’s drunk and they’re gonna make us

Dance the cha-cha-cha

La Femme's "Cha-cha" drops us right into a wild beach day with a favorite girl who's looking for drugs, or "farlopa," which our narrator isn't into, especially with the police around! He'd rather enjoy the morning, hit up a mezcal bar, and then a taqueria. He's definitely not a fan of clubs, calling them "malo y los borrachos" [bad and the drunks], preferring the fair where he can "bailar todo el día" [dance all day].

Things get a bit more intense as he talks about his "chabolo" [shack/hovel] and how his heart is "preso" [imprisoned] by a "gordo" [fat/big] love he can't escape. He's annoyed by it all! He describes his girl as "guapa como una luna" [beautiful like a moon] and "chula como una pintura" [pretty like a painting], calling her his "princesita de Andalucía" [little princess of Andalusia]. But despite the hot embraces that burn him, they have a problem, and now he feels "encarcelada" [imprisoned] too. It seems like this cha-cha isn't just a dance, but a sticky situation they're caught in!
