Limeña [English translation]

Girl from Lima that you've got a soul

Of tradition,

The castanets ring

From your heel.

Pace by pace you are walking

On the pavement which is sounding,

As if it were a musical string low-pitched,

Rhythms of marinera

With your heel.

Little sweet mouth,

Silk skin,

Magnolia who has escaped

From the grove.

And in your smile

There's a handkerchief

Which being in love

Gets to the sky,

Perfumed of jasmine,

To dance marineras

In San Martín.
