The Jewel of the Pacific

Joe Vasconcellos

La Joya Del Pacifico

Eres un arco iris de múltiples colores
Tu Valparaíso puerto principal
Tus mujeres son blancas margaritas
Todas ellas arrancadas de tu mar

Al mirarte de playa ancha lindo puerto
Allí se ven las naves al salir y al entrar
El marino te canta esta canción
Yo sin ti no vivo puerto de mi amor

Del cerro Los Placeres yo me pase al Barón
Me vine al cordillera en busca de tu amor
Te fuiste al cerro alegre y yo siempre detrás
Porteña buena moza no me hagas sufrir mas
La plaza de la victoria es un centro social
O avenida Pedro Montt como tu no hay otra igual
Mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón
Torpedera de mi ensueño Valparaíso de mi amor

En mis primeros años yo quise descubrir
La historia de tus cerros jugando al volantín
Como las mariposas que vuelan entre las rosas
Yo recorrí tus cerros hasta el ultimo confín

Yo me aleje de ti puerto querido
Y al retornar de nuevo te vuelvo a contemplar
La joya del pacifico te llaman los marinos
Y yo te llamo encanto como viña del mar

Del cerro Los Placeres yo me pase al Barón
Me vine al cordillera en busca de tu amor
Te fuiste al cerro alegre y yo siempre detrás
Porteña buena moza no me hagas sufrir mas
La plaza de la victoria es un centro social
O avenida Pedro Montt como tu no hay otra igual
Mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón
Torpedera de mi ensueño Valparaíso de mi amor

Con todo mi corazón hasta el ultimo confín
Con todo mi corazón yo te vengo a contemplar
Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor
Con todo mi corazón como tu no hay otra igual
Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor
Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor

The Jewel of the Pacific

You are a rainbow of multiple colors
Your Valparaíso main port
Your women are white daisies
All of them taken from your sea

Looking at you from Playa Ancha beautiful port
There the ships are seen coming and going
The sailor sings you this song
I don't live without you, port of my love

From Los Placeres hill I went to Barón
I came to the mountains in search of your love
You went to Cerro Alegre and I always behind
Good Porteña girl, don't make me suffer anymore
The Plaza de la Victoria is a social center
Or Pedro Montt avenue, there's no other like you
But I would like to sing to you with all my heart
Torpedo boat of my dreams, Valparaíso of my love

In my early years, I wanted to discover
The history of your hills playing with the kite
Like butterflies flying among the roses
I roamed your hills to the very end

I moved away from you, beloved port
And upon returning, I see you again
The jewel of the Pacific, sailors call you
And I call you enchantment like Viña del Mar

From Los Placeres hill I went to Barón
I came to the mountains in search of your love
You went to Cerro Alegre and I always behind
Good Porteña girl, don't make me suffer anymore
The Plaza de la Victoria is a social center
Or Pedro Montt avenue, there's no other like you
But I would like to sing to you with all my heart
Torpedo boat of my dreams, Valparaíso of my love

With all my heart to the very end
With all my heart, I come to see you
With all my heart, Valparaíso of my love
With all my heart, there's no other like you
With all my heart, Valparaíso of my love
With all my heart, Valparaíso of my love
