A través de lo que cuentan te adivino
Through what they say, I can guess you
Una niña bonita de pie fino
A pretty girl with dainty feet
La figura menudita y en el talle
The petite figure and at the waist
Un despliegue de gracia y de lisura
A display of grace and smoothness
Con aroma de los huertos te envolvías
With the scent of the gardens, you would wrap yourself
Y llena de su fragancia y tu frescura
And full of his fragrance and your freshness
Encendías el camino, pues llevabas
You lit up the path, for you carried
Para alumbrarte centellas de terciopelo
To light your way, velvet sparkles
Azafrán de castilla, ajonjolí, romero santo
Castilian saffron, sesame, holy rosemary
Tenías en el pecho alhelí, nardos y encantos
You had in your chest wallflower, spikenard, and charms
Y al pasar te decían preguntando
And as you passed by, they asked saying
¿Qué llevas en le pecho que huele tanto?
What do you carry in your heart that smells so sweet?
Rumor de quitasueño y manantial brota en tu risa
Whispers of dreams unspooled and a spring bursts in your laughter
Mezcla de la azucena y capulí dan tus colores
A mix of lily and wild cherry gives your colors
Y al entreabrir tu boca la sonrisa
And as you slightly part your lips, the smile
Despliega el bicolor de mis amores
Unfolds the bicolor of my loves
Tan bonita y chiquitita
So pretty and petite
Tan sandunguera y graciosa, limeña de tradiciones
So lively and graceful, Lima girl of traditions
De cuentos y de leyendas
Of tales and legends
Si aún me parece verte de cuando en cuando en la calle
If it still seems to me that I see you from time to time on the street
Cuando el sol está de fiesta y te ciñe por el talle
When the sun is celebrating and wraps you at the waist
Azafrán de castilla, ajonjolí, romero santo
Saffron from Castile, sesame, holy rosemary
Tenías en el pecho alhelí, nardos y encantos
You had in your heart alyssum, tuberose, and charms
Y al pasar te decían preguntando
And as you passed, they asked
¿Qué llevas en le pecho que huele tanto?
What do you have in your heart that smells so sweet?
Rumor de quitasueño y manantial brota en tu risa
A whisper of dreams and a spring springs from your laughter
Mezcla de la azucena y capulí dan tus colores
A blend of lilies and capuli gives your colors
Y al entreabrir tu boca la sonrisa
And as you slightly part your lips, the smile
Despliega el bicolor de mis amores
Unfolds the two-tone of my loves
Que al entreabrir tu boca la sonrisa
That as you slightly part your lips, the smile
Despliega el bicolor de mis amores
Unfurl the two-tone colors of my loves
