Bonito Lyrics

Bonito, todo me parece bonito
Bonita mañana
bonito lugar
bonita la cama
qué bien se ve el mar
bonito es el día
y acaba de empezar bonita la vida
respira, respira, respira

El teléfono suena, mi pana se queja
la cosa va mal, la vida le pesa
que vivir así ya no le interesa
que seguir así no vale la pena
se perdió el amor, se acabó la fiesta
ya no anda el motor que empuja la tierra
la vida es un chiste con triste final
el futuro no existe pero yo le digo...

Bonito todo me parece bonito

Bonita la paz, bonita la vida
bonito volver a nacer cada día
bonita la verdad cuando no suena a mentira
bonita la amistad, bonita la risa
bonita la gente cuando hay calidad
bonita la gente que no se arrepiente
que gana y que pierde, que habla y no miente
bonita la gente por eso yo digo...

Bonito, todo me parece bonito

Qué bonito que te va cuando te va bonito,
qué bonito que te va

Bonito, todo me parece bonito
La mar la mañana, la casa, la sombra,
la tierra, la paz y la vida que pasa.
Bonito, todo me parece bonito.
Tu calma, tu salsa, la mancha en la
espalda, tu cara, tus ganas el fin de semana

Bonita la gente que viene y que va
bonita la gente que no se detiene
bonita la gente que no tiene edad
que escucha, que entiende, que tiene y que da

Bonito Portet, bonito Peret
bonita la rumba, bonito José
bonita la brisa que no tiene prisa
bonito este día, respira, respira
Bonita la gente cuando es de verdad
Bonita la gente que es diferente
Que tiembla, que siente
Que vive el presente
bonita la gente que estuvo y no está.

Bonito, todo me parece bonito.

Qué bonito que te va cuando te va bonito,
qué bonito que te va.
Qué bonito que se está cuando se está
bonito qué bonito que se está.

Bonito, todo me parece bonito

Cover art for Bonito lyrics by Jarabe de Palo

Absolutely love this BEAUTIFUL song! For me, it helps pick me up when all seems dark and hopeless. I first heard it when my high-school Spanish teacher played it for us all in class (He was, and probably always will be, my favorite teacher and one of my bigger mentors). I saved it and listen to it often.

Here is a quick, dirty Google Translate that I did my best to touch up, pardon my rusty Spanish skills... :

"Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me

A beautiful morning

A beautiful place

A beautiful bed

How great the sea looks [or maybe 'how beautiful the bed is, that so well views the sea?]

Beautiful is the day

And life has only just begun to be beautiful

Breathe, breathe, breathe

The phone rings, my friend complains

Things are going badly, life weighs on him

That living like this is no longer interesting

That continuing like this is not worth it

Love is lost to him, the party is over

The engine that pushes the earth no longer works

Life is a joke with a sad ending

The future does not exist but I tell him...

Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me

Beautiful is peace, beautiful is life

Beautiful it is to come to be born again each day

Beautiful is truth when it doesn't sound like a lie

Beautiful is friendship, beautiful is laughter

Beautiful are people, when there is quality [of life?]

Beautiful are the people who do not regret

who win and who lose, who speak and don't lie

Beautiful, people are, that is why I say...

Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me

How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,

How beautiful that things are going well

Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me

The sea, the morning, the house, the shadow, the earth,

the peace and the life that we have

Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me

Your calm, your pizazz [not sure if this is right for 'salsa'], the

blemish on your back, your face, your longing for the weekend

Beautiful are the people who come and who go

Beautiful are the people who don't stop going

Beautiful are the timeless people

that listen, that understand, that have and that give

Beautiful Portet, beautiful Peret

Beautiful the rumba, beautiful José

Beautiful the breeze that isn't in a hurry

Beautiful this day, breathe, breathe

Beautiful are the people when they are genuine

Beautiful are the people who are unique

Who tremble, who feel

Who live in the present

Beautiful are the people that I was and that is no longer

Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me

How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,

How beautiful that things are going well

How beautiful it is when things go beautifully,

How beautiful that things are going well

Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me."

Without getting too deep into the song, my interpretation of it is that even though life has many hardships and can be ugly, when you take a step back and try to gain some more perspective, you might be able to see that every segment of life has it's own beauty. Sorry if my translation is lacking, but I hope the general meaning is right. Cheers.
