Entre zaguanes y entre añoranzas, una tapada va por el sol
Between hallways and memories, a covered one walks in the sun
Tiene magnolias entre sus manos y una penita en el corazón
She has magnolias in her hands and a little sorrow in her heart
Entre Barranco y La Alameda, donde la luna clara es eterna
Between Barranco and La Alameda, where the clear moon is eternal
La ves sonriendo con un suspiro, la ves llevando aroma a canela
You see her smiling with a sigh, you see her bringing a scent of cinnamon
Señora, cuénteme, ¿cómo era Lima antes?
Madam, tell me, how was Lima before?
Con sus ojos celestes, dígame, ¿cómo la vio?
With your sky-blue eyes, tell me, how did you see her?
¿Cómo eran las plazuelas los domingos elegantes?
How were the plazas on elegant Sundays?
En donde se bailaban valsecitos de amor
Where little waltzes of love were danced
Señora, cuénteme, ¿cómo era Lima antes?,
Madam, tell me, how was Lima before?
Con sus ojos celestes, dígame, ¿cómo la vio?
With your sky-blue eyes, tell me, how did you see her?
¿Cómo eran sus historias abrigadas bajo el puente?
What were your stories like, sheltered under the bridge?
Dígame sus memorias; señora, cuénteme
Tell me your memories; ma'am, share them with me
Entre el murmullo de una querencia oigo tu nombre
Amidst the murmur of a yearning, I hear your name
Y con las gotas de una garúa, vas refrescando tu dulce andar
And with the drops of a drizzle, you refresh your sweet stride
Te has disfrazado de cielo y plata, y muy bien sentada desde una nube
You've disguised yourself in sky and silver, sitting so elegantly on a cloud
Tu voz se hará escuchar por toda la ciudad
Your voice will be heard all over the city
Señora, cuénteme, ¿cómo era Lima antes?
Ma'am, tell me, what was Lima like before?
Con sus ojos celestes, dígame, ¿cómo la vio?
With your sky-blue eyes, tell me, how did you see it?
¿Cómo eran las plazuelas los domingos elegantes?
What were the squares like on elegant Sundays?
En donde se bailaban valsecitos de amor
Where little waltzes of love were danced
Señora, cuénteme, ¿cómo era Lima antes?,
Lady, tell me, what was Lima like before?
Con sus ojos celestes, dígame, ¿cómo la vio?
With your sky blue eyes, tell me, how did you see it?
¿Cómo eran sus historias abrigadas bajo el puente?
What were your stories sheltered under the bridge?
Dígame sus memorias; señora, cuénteme
Share your memories with me; lady, tell me
Señora
Lady
