[Intro]
La Isla Bonita
Spanish lullaby
La Isla Bonita
Spanish lullaby

¿Cómo puede ser verdad?

[Verse 1]
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, your Spanish lullaby

[Verse 2]
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

[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, your Spanish lullaby

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
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, your Spanish lullaby

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, your Spanish lullaby

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, your Spanish lullaby

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-la
Te dijo, te amo (La Isla Bonita)
La-la-la-la-la-la
Él dijo que te ama (Spanish lullaby)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
La Isla Bonita
Spanish lullaby
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (La Isla Bonita)
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ah (Spanish lullaby)
