  • I haven't for the past 10 days been able to get this song out of my head.  No, that's not quite right.  It's infused more than my head--perhaps heart, perhaps other body parts.  Or more likely, it's a dream in me yearning for reality.  Hell, I hope it never goes away.  Or rather, that I wake up some morning and it's dreaming me.


    LA ISLA BONITA

    Written by Madonna, Pat Leonard, and Bruce

    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

    Chorus:

    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

    (chorus)

    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

    (chorus twice)

    La la la la la la la
    Te dijo te amo
    La la la la la la la
    El dijo que te ama
