Collita [English translation]

Beautiful mountains witnessed your birth

The Illimani1 rocked your cradle

And the Kantuta2 gave you its soul

You had to be a "collita"3.

Beautiful silhouette of a beautiful woman

Eyes very black, looking deep

And red lips that incite love

You had to be a "collita".

You came into my life that had been

Only shadows without your love

Oh, collita of my illusion

Without you I can't live anymore.

Among all you are the queen

Oh, collita of my love

Beautiful woman from La Paz,

Who came into my heart.

I can't go on, living like that, only thinking about your love

You make me laugh, you make me cry when you are not with me.

I can't go on, living like that, only thinking about your love

You make me laugh, you make me cry when you are not with me.

Beautiful mountains witnessed your birth..
