Panama

Have you seen Panama

Where I first fell in love

It will forever be an emerald necklace

Set between the seas

Beside a crystal stream

In the mountains of Chiriqui

I saw a girl astride a horse she waved at me

I was fifteen

I was not a child I was not yet a man

I was trying very hard to understand

Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land

Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

Went riding off alone

Much further than I should have gone

I wandered deep into the dark

Now which way gets me home

Then suddenly there she was

All covered with leaves and dust

I couldn't believe it but she followed me

Now both of us were lost

I was not a child I was not yet a man

I was trying very hard to understand

Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land

Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

The clouds began to rumble

We found a dry piece of jungle

I don't remember if It rained

But I remember making love

So clearly I recall

The magic of Panama

And surely never will it let me go

Yo Soy Panameno

I was not a child I was not yet a man

I was trying very hard to understand

Indifferent to the dangers of living in a foreign land

Was I falling in love or under the spell Of Panama?

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la ...
