Cuando tu te entregaste a mi, que Bonito
Cuando yo a ti mi vida te di, que Bonito
Cuando aquel gran amor que sentimos los dos
Que Bonito
Quien pensaba en dolor
Quien pensaba en traición
Si todo era bonito

Tu te fuiste de mi
Y mas tarde aprendí
Que de ti necesito
Que critiquen de mi
Porque lloro por ti
Pero siento bonito

Cuando aquel grande amor
Que sentimos los dos
Que Bonito
Quien pensaba en dolor
Quien pensaba en traición
Si todo era bonito

(Y que bonito es lo bonito compa seguro)

Tu te fuiste de mi
Y mas tarde aprendí
Que de ti necesito
Que critiquen de mi
Porque lloro por ti
Pero siento bonito

Cuando aquel gran amor
Que sentimos los dos
Que bonito
Quien pensaba en dolor
Quien pensaba en traición
Si todo era bonito

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Banda El Recodo's song "Que Bonito" express a nostalgic longing for a past relationship that was once beautiful and perfect. The singer reminisces about the time when both he and his partner committed to each other, giving their lives to one another, and feeling an intense love that was undeniable. Nothing else mattered because everything felt wonderful and right. They were so in love that they never even thought about pain or betrayal. Everything was simply bonito, or beautiful.

But then the partner leaves and the singer is left to grapple with the aftermath. It's only later that he realizes how much he needs this person and how much he still loves them. He's unapologetic about the fact that he cries over the loss and that people might judge him for not being over it. He still feels bonito, or beautiful, when he thinks about the love that they shared. The chorus repeats the sentiment that their love story was once bonito and that no one thought about pain or betrayal because everything was so perfect.
