La Isla Bonita
Madonna (Ciccone) 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
I had a dream about San Pedro last night
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Even though I haven't been there lately, I still remember the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
I remember a young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
It feels like it was yesterday, not that long ago
Tropical the island breeze
The island has a tropical breeze
All of nature wild and free
Nature is unbounded and untamed
This is where I long to be
I really want to be there
La isla bonita
The beautiful island
And when the samba played
When the samba music was playing
The sun would set so high
The sun would set very high in the sky
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
The sound of the music would fill my ears and the sun would be so bright that it hurt my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
A soothing melody in Spanish
I fell in love with San Pedro
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
A warm wind on the sea made me feel like it was calling my name
Te dijo te amo
He said 'I love you' to me
I prayed that the days would last
I wished that the days would never end
They went so fast
But the days went by so quickly
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
I want to be in a place where the sun makes the sky warm
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
During siesta time, you can watch people pass by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
The people are beautiful and carefree
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
A place where love is simple and straightforward
La la la la la la la
A musical interlude
El dijo que te ama
He said 'I love you' to me (in Spanish)
