Bò lakay lontan lè m te jen gason te genyen
yon flè solèy ki te konn fè m pèdi la rezon
Yon chedèv yon marabou jansiv vyolèt yon bèl
bouji sou gato fèt tout bon jènjan anvi fè vè pou li
Wi bonita se konsa nou te rele l
Hunm avè l mwen santi m ta rive nan syèl la
Oh bonita pou mwen w se yon vrè mèvèy si m
Bonita soti nan peyi panyòl men l son bèl
grenn fanm kreyòl ki pa tonbe pou nenpòt ki pawòl
men sèlman li gen yon bann ti jès dwòl li
mache ak yon pwotokòl ki ka fè w pèdi kontwòl
Wi bonita se konsa nou te rele l
Hunnnm avè l mwen santi m ta rive nan syèl la
Oh bonita pou mwen ou se yon vrè mèvèy mande
Bon Dye nan syèl pou li ka fè m kontre avè w cheri
Konsa mwen ta gade mwen ta touche w la (ayy bonita)
Mwen ta manyen w pase men nan cheve w gade w nan je (ay bonita)
Pase men sou bra ou manyen bò ti kuis ou (ay bonita)
Mwen ta manyen dada w la kon* kolaaaa
Te gon ti fi k' te rele bonita mwen te renmen l
Mwen te renmen l te gen lontan mwen t'anvi pale avè l
Te gon ti fi k' te rele bonita mwen te renmen l
Epi schi oouuu oooh oh oh

The Haitian Creole song Bonita by Jude Jean describes the beauty and allure of a woman named Bonita. The first stanza speaks of a time when the singer was young and easily swayed by the beauty of a woman, represented by the image of a flower under the sun. The woman is described as having a refined sense of taste and an air of sophistication that makes young men want to impress her.
The chorus repeats the name Bonita and speaks of the singer's desire to be with her. He feels that being with her would be like heaven and he doesn't need anything more than her by his side. The second verse further praises Bonita's beauty and her ability to captivate men with her charm and grace. The singer compares her to a flower from Spain, but emphasizes that she is still a Haitian woman who won't fall for just anyone.
The song ends with a lullaby-like repetition of the chorus and the acknowledgment that Bonita isn't just a sweet treat but a true "wonder" that the singer wishes to be with. Overall, the song celebrates the beauty and allure of a woman who stands out from the crowd.

But she has a few silly habits

Walking with a protocol that can make you lose control
Bon Dye nan syèl pou li ka fè m kontre avè w cheri
God in heaven please let me meet you, my dear Bonita
Konsa mwen ta gade mwen ta touche w la
So I could look at you and touch you
Bonita ou pa bonbon siwo ou pa bonbon mayi
Bonita, you're not a candy, nor a syrup, not even cornmeal
men w son bon bonbon kreyòl ki bon bon bon
But you are a good Creole candy
