[samba drums]
[heavy string bass and synth]
Como puede ser verdad [as may be true]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
just like I'd never gone, I knew the song.
Young girl with eyes like the dessert.
It all seems like yesterday.
Now I'm far away.
Tropical, the island breeze--
all of nature wild and free.
This is where I long to be,
la Isla Bonita.
And when the samba played,
the sun would sit so high
and ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby.
[Spanish guitar plays]
I fell in love with San Pedro.
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me,
"Te dijo, t'Amo." [I said, I love you]
I prayed that the days would last.
They went so fast.
Tropical, the island breeze--
all of nature wild and free.
This is where I long to be,
la Isla bonita.
And when the samba played,
the sun would sit so high,
ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby.
I want to be where the sun warms the sky,
when it's time for siesta, you can watch them go by.
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world,
where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl.
Last night, I dreamt of San Pedro.
It all seems like yesterday.
Now I'm far away.
Tropical, the island breeze--
all of nature wild and free.
This is where I long to be,
la Isla bonita.
And when the samba plays,
the sun would sit so high
and ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby.
La, da, da, da, da, da
Tropical, the island breeze--
all of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be,
la Isla bonita.
And when the samba played,
the sun would sit so high,
ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby.
La, la, la, la, la, laaaaa
Te dijo te amo [he said I love you]
La, la, la, la, la, laa-aaaaaa
El dijo que te ama. [He said he loves you]
La, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, baaaaaa
La, la, la, laaaaaa
La Isla bonita
Ahh, ahhhhhh
Ahhhh-ah-Ah-ohhhh
