Bonita

Llego tarde pero este coche ya no corre más
cuando llegue la fiesta habra empezado ya
vaya susto por poco atropello una mujer
fui parando y al verla bien, me enamore

donde vas, bonita?

te llevo donde quieras tu
sube al coche y vamos ya
sin rumbo y sin direccion
dime porque no me hablas
contestame bonita
que me has hecho con tu linda carita

y de pronto me dijo que parara y se bajo
fui tras de ella vaya sorpresa que me dio
me encontre en la misma fiesta a la que iba yo
el destino el corazon me alegro
hay que ver bonita, no me lo esperaba yo
donde vas bonita, no te escapes por favor

porqeu no me hablas, contéstame bonita
que me has hecho con tu linda carita

sin palabras, contéstame bonita
no se porque tiemblo, que tiene tu carita

Overall Meaning

The song "Bonita" by Mijares is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a man who falls in love with a woman at first sight. The song opens with the man arriving late to a party and almost hitting a woman with his car. Upon stopping to apologize and check on her, he becomes enamored with her beauty. He offers to take her anywhere she wants to go and asks why she won't talk to him. He is captivated by her lovely face and can't understand why he feels so strongly about her.

As the song progresses, the woman asks the man to stop the car and gets out. He follows her to the party and is surprised to find that she is going to the same event that he is. The twist of fate prompts him to ask her where she is going and not to leave. He continues to try to talk to her, but she still won't answer him. He is left bewildered by his feelings for her and wonders what it is about her that makes him tremble.
