La Isla Bonita (In Spanish: The Beautiful Island) by Madonna is featured in The Spanish Teacher, the twelfth episode of Season Three. It is sung by David and Santana.
After this performance, Will questions David's participation, worried that he might upstage him as a Spanish teacher. Santana simply says that they are both hot and their performance was authentic.
Lyrics[]
[INTRO: David]
¿Cómo puede ser verdad?
[VERSE 1: David]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
[CHORUS: David & Santana]
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
[VERSE 2: Santana]
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: David & Santana]
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
[BRIDGE: Santana, BOTH, David]
Yo quiero estar donde el sol toca cielo
Cuando es hora de siesta tú los puedes ver pasar
Caras tan bellas, sin importar nada
Where a girl loves a boy and a boy
Loves a girl (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your Spanish lullaby (Hey)
[PRE-CHORUS: David, Santana, BOTH]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro (San Pedro)
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
[CHORUS: BOTH, Santana, David]
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 (Taa-aaa)
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes, your Spanish lullaby (Spanish lullaby)
[OUTRO: David, Santana, BOTH]
A-na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Te dijo, "Te amo"
Ooh
Yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la
Él dijo que te ama
Ay-yeah, yeah! (Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, ooh, yeah!)
La Isla Bonita
La Isla Bonita
Bonita, bonita
Your Spanish lullaby
