¿Cómo 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
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
Tropical the island breeze
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
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
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
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
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 girl loves a boy
And a boy loves a girl
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where 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
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All of nature, wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
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
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
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
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
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
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
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Te dijo "te amo"
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Él dijo que te ama
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
La Isla Bonita
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Spanish lullaby
Te dijo "te amo"
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Él dijo que te ama
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

AboutThis song, originally written for Michael Jackson about the mythical island of San Pedro, was re-worked by Madonna into her first of many Latin-inspired hits.
The track reflects the multicultural mix of New York that Madonna experienced when she was starting out. She told SongTalk:
"When I lived in New York for so many years I was constantly listening to salsa and merengue. I mean, that stuff was constantly blaring out of everybody's radio on the street."
