I know an island where the people are kind

And the rest of the world seems far away

Maybe it's only in the back of my mind

But I know when I go that's where I'll stay

(";Come on, come on"; says the English woman)

";C'est bon, C'est bon"; dice la Francesa

(";It's good, it's good"; says the French woman)

";Ay, que lindo"; dice la Cubana singing far away

(";Oh how handsome!"; says the Cuban woman)

Que buena fortuna

(Such good luck.)

Esa es mi vida

(This is my life)

Como el mambo de la luna

(like the mambo of the moon)



I know a land where they live for today

'Cause tomorrow is too far away

Maybe one day you will go there with me

And we'll dance underneath the ceiba tree

La vida es dura, el corazon es puro, y cantamos hasta la madrugada

(Life is hard, the heart is pure, and we dance until dawn)

El dia no es facil, el trabajo es dificil, entonces bailamos hasta la madrugada

(The day's not easy, work is hard, then we dance until dawn)
