Diario va a los bailes y se compra una botella
Her husband says I don’t know what to do with her

Bravo bravo chona nadie te puede igualar

People watch and begin screaming
Bravo bravo chona no one can equal you

Y la chona se mueve, y la gente le grita
No hay mejor que la chona, para la quebradita
And the chona moves, and the people scream
There’s no one better than the chona, for the quebradita people
Y la chona se mueve, al ritmo que le toquen
Ella baila de todo, nunca pierde su trote
And the chona moves, to the rhythm they touch her
She dances throughout, doesn’t miss a beat
“Y gozamelo digamos”
“And let’s say you enjoy it”

Below you’ll find a better description of the song:
Mexican reference for a women whom is married but loves to party, dance and drink. She goes to parties and she buys a bottle of booze, she loves to dance to every style and rhythm. She doesn’t hesitate to quickly look for a dance partner. People look at her and start making noise like “Bravo bravo chona nadie te puede igualar. No hay mejor que la chona, para la quebradita.” There’s nobody better than Chona for dancing “quebradita” – Quebradita is a type of dance. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chona
It’s actually Chona the one that goes to the dances and buys a bottle. Not the husband. 🙂
Her husband says I don’t know what to do with her
Everyday she goes to the dances and buys herself a bottle
Everyday she goes to the dances and buys herself a bottle
And the chona moves, to any rhythm they play ( Y la Chona se mueve al ritmo que le toquen)
Thank you! Corrected.
