  1. Déjame que te cuente, limeña

    Let me tell you, girl from Lima

  2. Déjame que te diga la gloria

    Let me tell you of the glory

  3. Del ensueño que evoca la memoria

    Of the daydream that memory evokes

  4. Del viejo puente, el río y la alameda

    Of the old bridge, the river, and the avenue

  5. Déjame que te cuente, limeña

    Let me tell you, girl from Lima

  6. Ahora que aún perfuma el recuerdo

    Now that the memory still perfumes the air

  7. Ahora que aún se mece en un sueño

    Now that it still sways in a dream

  8. El viejo puente, el río y la alameda

    The old bridge, the river, and the avenue

  9. Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara

    Jasmine in her hair and roses on her face

  10. Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela

    The cinnamon flower walked gracefully

  11. Derramaba lisura y su paso dejaba

    She spilled smoothness and left her mark,

  12. Aroma de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba

    An aroma of mixture that she carried in her heart.

  13. Del puente a la alameda menudo pie la lleva

    From the bridge to the promenade, her delicate foot leads,

  14. Por la vereda que se estremece al ritmo de su cadera

    Along the path that trembles to the rhythm of her hips.

  15. Recogía la risa de la brisa del río

    She gathered the laughter from the breeze of the river,

  16. Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda

    And tossed it to the wind from the bridge to the promenade.

  17. Déjame que te cuente, limeña

    Let me tell you, limeña,

  18. Ay, deja que te diga, morena, mis pensamientos

    Oh, let me say, my dark-skinned beauty, my thoughts,

  19. A ver si así despiertas del sueño

    Let's see if this awakens you from the dream,

  20. Del sueño que entretiene, morena, tus sentimientos

    From the dream that keeps your feelings entertained, my love.

  21. Aspiras de la lisura que da la flor de canela

    You aspire to the smoothness that the cinnamon flower gives

  22. Adornada con jazmines, matizando tu hermosura

    Adorned with jasmine, highlighting your beauty

  23. Alfombra de nuevo el puente y engalana la alameda

    Newly carpet the bridge and decorate the walkway

  24. Que el río acompasará tu paso por la vereda

    For the river will keep time with your steps along the path

  25. Y recuerda que

    And remember that

  26. Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara

    Jasmines in the hair and roses on the face

  27. Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela

    The cinnamon flower walked with grace

  28. Derramaba lisura y su paso dejaba

    It spilled smoothness and left a mark with each step

  29. Aroma de mistura que en el pecho llevaba

    A blend of aromas that it carried in its chest

  30. Del puente a la alameda menudo pie la lleva

    From the bridge to the walkway, it takes delicate steps

  31. Por la vereda que se estremece al ritmo de su cadera

    On the pathway that trembles to the rhythm of her hips

  32. Recogía la risa de la brisa de la río

    I gathered the laughter from the breeze of the river

  33. Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda

    And to the wind, I threw it from the bridge to the grove
