lyrics

This song is about a couple who meet at a dance. Even though the young woman dances with a lot of men, there isn’t one who interests her.
A man who has fallen for her dance moves is determined to win her over.

Coro:
Hoy te ando buscando Bonita, Bonita.

Ei-lai-la allá viene Bonita
Ei-lai-la siempre llega primerita al baile.
Su cuerpo es obra de arte.
Mírenla, como mueve las caderas.
En la pista baila como fiera.
Locos, se vuelven los hombres.
Muchos quieren seguir le el paso
Ella no les hace caso En su pelo negro una flor
Ella viene a buscar un amor.
Ei-lai-la allá viene Bonita
Ei-lai-la que murer tan bonita
Me has robado el corazón, otra vez.

Ei-lai-la allá va Bonita
Ei-lai-la yo tengo una cosita pa’ decirte.
Hace rato quiero conocerte.
Te he visto en muchos moments
Y hasta hoy, mi presentimiento
Es que nadie te abraza de noche.
Pon tu mano aquí en la mía
Yo quisiera ver tu sonrisa
En tu pelo negro una flor
Hoy yo vengo a ganar tu amor.
Un beso yo pongo en tu boca
Tu calor no me sofoca, mamí
Me has robado el corazón, otra vez.

Coro 1:
Bonita yo te vengo a buscar
Pon tu mano en la mía vamos a vacilar.
Soneos:

Coro 2:
Pon tu mano en la mía vamos a vacilar.

Coro 3:
Pon tu mano en la mía

Coro 4:
Chévere que chévere

Coro 5:
Vamos a vacilar.
