La Isla Bonita
Madonna(Âóµ±ÄÈ) 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
In Madonna's(麦当娜) song La Isla Bonita, she sings about San Pedro, a tropical island where she longs to be. The song starts with the Spanish phrase "Como puede ser verdad", which translates to "How could it be true?". It appears that Madonna is questioning the reality of her dream of San Pedro, which follows right after. She goes on to describe the tropical island breeze and the beauty of nature that she experiences there. The lyrics highlight the culture and traditions of the place - the samba music, the Spanish language, and the Spanish lullaby. Madonna seems to be enchanted by the simplicity of life on the island where there are "no cares in this world". She falls in love with San Pedro, and it's shown in the lyrics "He called to me, te dijo te amo", which means "He told me he loves me."
The song La Isla Bonita is the perfect blend of pop, Latin, and Mediterranean influences. There is a blend of English and Spanish in the lyrics, and the music incorporates a flamenco guitar sound. The song is known for its catchy melody and Madonna's signature vocals. The upbeat tempo of the music contrasts with the wistful nostalgia of the lyrics. Madonna's voice captures the longing and the hopefulness that she feels to be back in San Pedro.

Como puede ser verdad
I can't believe it's true
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
I had a dream about a place called San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Although I've never been there, I know the music
A young girl with eyes like the desert
I saw a beautiful girl with desert-colored eyes
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
It feels like it was just yesterday, not too long ago
Tropical the island breeze
The breeze on the island is warm and tropical
All of nature wild and free
Nature is untamed and free on this island
This is where I long to be
I want to be on this island
La isla bonita
This beautiful island
And when the samba played
Whenever the samba music was played
The sun would set so high
The sun would set very high in the sky
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
The music was so beautiful it overwhelmed my senses
Your Spanish lullaby
A soothing Spanish song
I fell in love with San Pedro
I fell in love with the place called San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
The warm wind carried a voice from the sea that called to me
Te dijo te amo
He said 'I love you'
I prayed that the days would last
I wished that time would slow down and allow me to stay there longer
They went so fast
But time flew by too quickly
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
I want to be in a place where the sun makes everything feel warm and happy
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
During siesta time, you can watch people pass by leisurely
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Everyone has beautiful faces and there seems to be no worries in the world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
A place where people can love without any complications
La la la la la la la

El dijo que te ama
He said 'I love you'
