La Isla Bonita Lyrics
Madonna
Lyrics
Como puede ser verdad
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone I knew the song
Young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday not far away
Tropical (ah-ah) the island breeze
All of nature (ah-ah-ah-ah) wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when (ah-ah) the samba played
The sun (ah-ah-ah-ah) would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last they went so fast
Tropical (ah-ah) the island breeze
All of nature (ah-ah-ah-ah) wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when (ah-ah) the samba played
The sun (ah-ah-ah-ah) would set 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 girl loves a boy and a boy... loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday not far away
Tropical (ah-ah) the island breeze
All of nature (ah-ah-ah-ah) wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when (ah-ah) the samba played
The sun (ah-ah-ah-ah) would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
(pa-pa-pa-pa)
Tropical (ah-ah) the island breeze
All of nature (ah-ah-ah-ah) wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when (ah-ah) the samba played
The sun (ah-ah-ah-ah) would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
(la-la-la-la-la)
Te dijo te amo
(la-la-la-la-la)
El dijo que te ama
(pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
(ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
La Isla Bonita
(ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
