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
Tedisote 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 went 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
Madonna - Open Your Heart - Who's That Girl (1987)
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, I wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don't try to run I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
The difference is, Madonna is showing the song, producing a performance of big stage, whereas Alizee is showing and making a performance of herself.
It is the wisdom of age.
That's true. In Alizee's show, the prevailing impression it conveys to the audience is her tenderness of age. Actually, that's not the most important value of singing art, anyway.
