Hello friends, this is my entry for Week 32 of the VIBES Web3 Music Competition. I really enjoy this song, as well as all of Madonna's music. I chose this song because it's more lowkey, allowing me to express myself without needing to shout. My voice isn't perfect, but I love to sing. Music truly makes my day and heals my soul.
"La Isla Bonita" is a beautiful song that translates to "The Beautiful Island," reminiscent of the Philippines. I believe Madonna invented the island named San Pedro in the song, but who knows? She wrote this song herself, and it was released on February 25, 1987, which is just a day before my birthday. That's why I love this song so much!
La Isla Bonita
Song by Madonna ‧ 1986
¿Cómo 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
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
Da-da, da-da-da
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
Pa-pa-ra-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa (ah-ah)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
La isla bonita
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
