White city, of the eternal blue sky
all sun, mountains of my home
where I was born, where I was raised
to love
I leave my dreams here,
I leave my love here,
I leave my dream here,
I leave my love here,
I leave my tears here,
of eternal grief
because my sad star was cruel
Good bye Silvia, it is lost
the faith of your love, my faith
when leaving for my submited country
and for my good,
I leave goodbye, I leave goodbye, good bye, good bye
The clarion played, I go there
to defend my country
my lovely Silvia, my love,
the clarion played, lets go there,
Oh homeland, I want to die for you
Me and everyone with honor
Oh Arequipa, city of my dreams,
Misti colossus, guardian of my city,
I wish for freedom and love,
love and freedom my Lord.
