La Isla Bonita
Mad'House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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 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
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
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
La la la la la la la
Te dijo te amo
La la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama

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
The song was so familiar, as if I hadn't really left
A young girl with eyes like the desert
I saw a young girl who had eyes that resembled the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
All of it seems like it happened recently, not a long time ago

When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
During siesta time, we can sit back and observe the world go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
There were beautiful faces around me with no worries in the world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Where there is love between a girl and a boy
La la la la la la la
The sound of la la la la la la la
El dijo que te ama
He said, 'I love you'
