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
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
(refrain)
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
(refrain x 2)
La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama

How can it be true?
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Last night I had a dream about San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Even though I had never been there before, I already knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
I saw a young girl with eyes that resembled the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
My memory of it feels like it was just yesterday, it doesn't feel like it happened far away
Tropical the island breeze
The breeze on the island is tropical
All of nature wild and free
Nature is untamed and unrestrained
This is where I long to be
This is where I want to be
La isla bonita
The beautiful island
And when the samba played
When the samba music was played
The sun would set so high
The sun would set at a high point
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
The music was loud in my ears and the sun was bright in my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
Your Spanish song that puts me to sleep
I fell in love with San Pedro
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
The warm wind that was blowing on the sea seemed to call out to me
Te dijo te amo
He told me he loves me
I prayed that the days would last
I prayed that the days would be longer
They went so fast
The days went by so quickly
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
I want to be where the sun heats up the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
During siesta time, you can watch people strolling by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Beautiful faces without any worries in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Where there's mutual love between a girl and a boy
La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
He told me he loves me
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama
He said he loves you
