Thread Name: Lyr Req: La Playa / Maria Isabel
Subject: RE: La playa (the beach?)
Oh, you know how it is when you do these things late at night!. Yes that line should be caliente.

Translation:
The beach is deserted
The sea bathes your skin
Singing with my guitar
For you, Maria Isabel.

Get your hat and put it on
We are going to the beach the sun is shining.
(Repeat)
(Chiri-biri -bi etc. are just syllables like fa-la-la)

I wrote you name in the sand
And late I erased it
So no one would walk
On your name, Maria Isabel.

The moon left
Together with the waves of the sea
They are jealous of your shape
And the way you look.


It loses a little in the translation of course, but it's a really neat love song.
