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 the island breeze,
all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be,
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played,
the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
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 the island breeze,
all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be,
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played,
the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
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,
not far away
Tropical the island breeze,
all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be,
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played,
the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears
and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Tropical the island breeze,
all of nature wild and free
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is where I long to be,
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played,
the sun would set so high
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ring through my ears
and sting my eyes,
your Spanish lullaby
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Te dijo, te amo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Él dijo que te ama
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
La Isla Bonita
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Spanish lullaby
