Have you seen Panama Where I first fell in love It will forever be
An emerald necklace Set between the seas
Beside a crystal stream In the mountains of Chiriqui I saw a girl astride a horse She waved at me I was fifteen
I was not a child I was not yet a man I was trying very hard To understand Indifferent to the dangers of Living in a foreign land Was I falling in love or Under the spell Of Panama?
Went riding off alone Much further than I should have gone I wandered deep into the dark Now which way gets me home
Then suddenly there she was All covered with leaves and dust I couldn't believe It but she followed me Now both of us were lost
I was not a child I was not yet a man I was trying very hard To understand Indifferent to the dangers of Living in a foreign land Was I falling in love or Under the spell Of Panama?
The clouds began to rumble We found a dry piece of jungle I don't remember If It rained But I remember making love
So clearly I recall The magic of Panama And surely never will it let me go Yo Soy Panameno
I was not a child I was not yet a man I was trying very hard To understand Indifferent to the dangers of Living in a foreign land Was I falling in love or Under the spell Of Panama?
