La Isla Bonita

La Isla Bonita    by    梨花侵梦

last night i dreamt of san pedro
just like i'd never gone, i knew the song
a young girl with eyes like the desert
it all seems like yesterday, not far away

chorus
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 set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
you 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
this is where i long to be
la isla bonita
and when the samba played
the sun would set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
you 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
