Guayaquil of My Loves

Guayaquil de Mis Amores

You're a pearl that emergedTú eres perla que surgiste
From the greatest unknown seaDel más grande ignoto mar
And if to the sound of its lullabyY si al son de su arrullar
You turned into a gardenEn jardín te convertiste

Sovereign in its endeavorsSoberano en sus empeños
Our God formed a paradiseNuestro Dios formó un pensil
With your beautiful GuayaquilCon tus bellas Guayaquil
Guayaquil of my dreamsGuayaquil de mis ensueños

If to your blondes and brunettesSi a tus rubias y morenas
Who go crazy with passionQue enloquecen de pasión
There beats a heartLes palpita un corazón
That soothes dark sorrowsQue mitiga negras penas

With their green eyes like seasCon sus ojos verdes mares
Or in the black nightfallO de negro anochecer
They always impose their willSiempre imponen su querer
Guayaquil of my songsGuayaquil de mis cantares

Because they have the princessesPorque tienen las princesas
Who captivate at sightQue fascinan al mirar
And intoxicate with a kissY que embriagan al besar
With their cherry lipsCon sus labios de cerezas

I demand from you the sweetnessTe reclamo las dulzuras
With which I long to liveCon que anhelo yo vivir
To never suffer againPara nunca más sufrir
Guayaquil of my tendernessGuayaquil de mis ternuras

And when I look into their green eyesY al mirar sus verdes ojos
Where my soul longs to beDonde mi alma anhela estar
Imprisoned like the seaPrisionera cual el mar
Or as I kneel downO al hundirme ya de hinojos

In the nights with brightnessEn las noches con fulgores
That their black eyes areQue sus ojos negros son
My heart will tell youTe dirá mi corazón
Guayaquil of my lovesGuayaquil de mis amores
