Guaynaa’s ‘Chica Ideal Salsa Version’ Meaning and Lyrics in English

The Puerto Rican artist drops a catchy new version of his hit while expecting his first child with Lele Pons

Archivado en: Guaynaa  •  

Puerto Rican artist Guaynaa is breathing new life into one of his biggest hits with the release of “Chica Ideal (Versión Salsa)”, a reimagined salsa rendition of his 2020 reggaeton anthem. Dropped on June 26, 2025, this latest version pays homage to his Latin roots and dives headfirst into the timeless rhythms of salsa, signaling a bold and heartfelt evolution in his musical journey.

Produced by Guss Music Baby (Gustavo Alberto) and arranged by Lucho Arroyo alongside Guss, the track delivers a fresh spin that keeps the original’s joyful spirit while infusing it with salsa’s unmistakable swing and emotional punch. Mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Alfredo Matheus, “Chica Ideal (Versión Salsa)” doesn’t just feel like a remix—it’s a full transformation that elevates the track into a whole new genre.

This move isn’t out of nowhere. Guaynaa’s salsa era began to take shape in 2024, when an impromptu performance of “Ven, devórame otra vez” during a European tour caught fans by surprise and earned viral praise. The momentum continued in 2025 with “Caramelito,” his first original salsa single, written by salsa legend Omar Alfanno. “Chica Ideal (Versión Salsa)” is the latest step in this exciting new chapter.

The Meaning Behind ‘Chica Ideal’

At its core, “Chica Ideal” is a celebration of love, joy, and romantic idealism. The lyrics describe the search for that perfect someone—the “ideal girl”—who brings happiness, energy, and light into one’s life. While the reggaeton version is playful and danceable, the salsa version adds layers of soul and nostalgia, transforming the message into something both festive and heartfelt.

Guaynaa sings of finding the girl of his dreams, someone who makes life feel like a party but also fills it with real connection. The track radiates warmth and admiration, wrapped in upbeat melodies and rhythms made for dancing close.

Guaynaa’s ‘Chica Ideal’ Lyrics in English

I gotta confess, now I’m looking for something more
A reason to fall in love again — maybe that’s you

I want a girl, and I want her now
The love of my life, someone I can love

I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me
And of course, knows how to move those hips, oh yeah
I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me

One who doesn’t say no, no, no, no, no
Who goes wild when I touch her, her, her, her, her
Who dances and makes it bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
That’s why I want her — so she’ll want me
One who doesn’t say no, no, no, no, no
Who goes wild when I touch her, her, her, her, her
Who dances and makes it bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
That’s why I want her — so she’ll want me

I get on a boat
I’ve crossed the sea, I’ve gone up the river
I’ve gotten into a thousand messes for you
I want you to hold me in Bogotá — the nights are cold
And stroke my hair, baby, while I fall asleep
I need someone to talk to
Someone to laugh and cry with
Someone who eats a lot, someone who loves to party
And takes off her heels when we get back from dancing (From dancing)

I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me
And of course, knows how to move those hips, oh yeah
I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me

If I were you, I’d tone that attitude down a bit
It’s what keeps me distant from you — think about it
Maybe I’m exactly what you’ve been looking for

I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me
And of course, knows how to move those hips, oh yeah
I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me

Hey,
El Guaynaabichy
Sabor!
From Puerto Rico to the world
And from Colombia to the world, what’s up?
For the dancers

I want a girl, I want a gyal
To keep me warm at night
Even if she snores and kicks me in her sleep
I want a girl, I want a gyal
Doesn’t matter if she’s Latina or Asian
It’s all the same to me

I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me
And of course, knows how to move those hips, oh yeah
I want a girl, I want a gyal
I want a woman who’s truly special
I want a lady who knows how to love me
And of course, knows how to move those hips, oh yeah

Ay, ma
