I've got a secret, 
I can not keep it. 
It's just a whisper of a distant memory. 
Just a dream or so it seems. 
Take me back to the place I'd rather be. 

You left a fire in my eyes. 
That lightens up the darkest skies. 
I'm giving up I'm letting go 
I'll find my way so. 

Take me back to my sweet la vida 
Find my love my dolce vita. 
Show me where I need to go 
Donde esta mi chico latino? 

Stolen moments time has broken 
My eyes are open 
to this life-long mystery. 
And so I'll go with what I know. 
Take my chances [bad word] with destiny. 

Now there's fire in my eyes 
I break away and say goodbye. 
I'm free to be I'm letting go. 
I'll find my way so. 

Take me back to my sweet la vida 
Find my love my dolce vita. 
Show me where I need to go 
Donde esta mi chico latino? 

(Que sueño, dulce y pequeño. 
Yo no sé, yo no sé. 
Pero no es un cuento. 
Mi corazón con tormento. 
Chico latino te quiero y simplemente deseo. 
Yo lo sé el camino. 
Es un sueño latino.) 

Take me back to my sweet la vida 
Find my love my dolce vita. 
Show me where I need to go 
Donde esta mi chico latino?
