Lima de Antaño

Old LimaLima de antaño
Your memory is unforgettableTu recuerdo es imborrable
Peruvian land of such beautiful womenTierra peruana de mujeres tan hermosas
Where renowned poets were bornDonde nacieron los poetas de renombre
Who sang to you with heartfelt emotionQue te cantaron con tanguirica emoción
Today no one sings your beloved musicHoy nadie canta ya tu música querida
They have completely forgotten your songHan olvidado por completo tu canción
Old Lima if they don't want to remember youLima de antaño si no quieren recordarte
Beloved land I will always sing to youTierra querida yo siempre te cantare

The song of Lima that passedLa canción de lima que paso
We must make it rememberHay que hacerla recordar
We must make it come alive in our beingHay que hacerla renacer en nuestro ser
It's not possible to forget its musical beautyNo es posible olvidar su belleza musical
Which I will always singLa que siempre cantare
Proud to be your singer I will take you from hereOrgullo de ser tu cantor yo te llevare de aquí
To other lands to show your great worthA otras tierras a mostrar tu gran valer
Traditional LimaLima tan tradicional
Beautiful viceregal landLinda tierra virreinal
Your song will triumphTu canción a de triunfar
