πŸŽ™ Alizee La isla bonita Lyrics πŸŽ™

Last night I dreamed 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 love 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 love 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 love 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 love 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

πŸ“Œ Had better

πŸ”Έ We use "had better" to refer to the present or the future, to talk about actions we think people should do. The verb form is always "had", not "have". We normally shorten it to "’d better" in informal situations. It is followed by the infinitive without to:
βœ… Synonym: Should


πŸ’  Examples:

πŸ“– You had better discuss this issue with Bruno.

πŸ“– It’s five o’clock. I’d better go now before the traffic gets too bad.

πŸ“– Better call Saul.
