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..
