Déjame que te cuente, limeño
Let me tell you, Lima
Déjame que te diga la gloria
Let me tell you the glory
Del ensueño que evoca la memoria
From the dream that evokes memory
Del viejo puente, del río y la alameda
Of the old bridge, of the river and the mall
Déjame que te cuente, limeño
Let me tell you, Lima
Ahora que aún perfuma el recuerdo
Now that the memory still perfumes
Ahora que aún se mece en su sueño
Now that you still rock in your sleep
El viejo puente el río y la alameda
The old bridge, the river and the mall
Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara
Jasmine in the hair and roses on the face
Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela
The cinnamon flower walked gracefully
Derramaba lisura y a su paso dejaba
It shed smoothness and left in its wake
Aromas de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba
Mixture aromas that I carried on my chest
Del puente a la alameda
From the bridge to the mall
Menudo pie la lleva
What a foot it carries
Por la vereda que se estremece
On the path that shakes
Al ritmo de su cadera
To the rhythm of your hip
Recogía la risa de la brisa del río
I caught the laughter of the river breeze
Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda
And to the wind he threw her from the bridge to the avenue
Déjame que te cuente, limeño
Let me tell you, Lima
Ay, deja que te diga, moreno, mi pensamiento
Oh, let me tell you, brown, my thought
A ver si así despiertas del sueño
Let's see if you wake up from sleep
Del sueño que entretiene, moreno
Of the dream that entertains, dark
Tus sentimientos
your feelings
Aspiras de la lisura
You aspire for smoothness
Que da la flor de canela
What does the cinnamon flower give?
Adornada con jazmines
Adorned with jasmine
Matizando su hermosura
Nuance your beauty
Alfombras de nuevo el puente
Carpets the bridge again
Y engalanas la alameda
And you decorate the avenue
Que el río acompasará su paso por la vereda
That the river will pace its passage along the path
Y recuerda que
And remember that
Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara
Jasmine in the hair and roses on the face
Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela
The cinnamon flower walked gracefully
Derramaba lisura y a su paso dejaba
It shed smoothness and left in its wake
Aroma de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba
Aroma of mixture that I carried on my chest
Del puente a la alameda
From the bridge to the mall
Menudo pie la lleva
What a foot it carries
Por la vereda que se estremece
On the path that shakes
Al ritmo de su cadera
To the rhythm of your hip
Recogía la risa de la brisa del río
I caught the laughter of the river breeze
Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda
And to the wind he threw her from the bridge to the avenue
