(spoken:)
como puede ser verdad

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

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)

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

(chorus)

ta-la-ta-ta-taa

(chorus)

la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
te dijo te amo
la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
spoken: el dijo que te ama

pa-pa-la-pa-pa pa-pa-pa-pahaaa
aha, aha-ahaaa
la isla bonita
ahaa, aha-ahaaa...
