Como puede ser verdad? (eng- 'how could it be true?)
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 (eng- 'the beautiful island') 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 (eng- 'he told you:- I love you') 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 (eng- 'the beautiful island') And when the samba played The sun 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 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* (x2) Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita (eng- 'the beautiful island') And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby
La la la la la la la Te dijo te amo (eng- 'he told you:- I love you') La la la la la la la El dijo que te ama (eng- 'he said he loves you')
