La Joya del Pacífico

The Jewel of the Pacific

La Joya del Pacífico

You are a rainbow of multiple colorsEres un arco iris de múltiples colores
to you, Valparaíso, main port,tu, Valparaíso, puerto principal,
your women are white daisies,tus mujeres son blancas margaritas,
all of them taken from your sea.todas ellas arrancadas de tu mar.

Looking at you from Playa Ancha, beautiful port,Al mirarte de Playa Ancha, lindo puerto,
there the ships are seen coming and going,ahí (allí) se ven las naves al salir y al entrar,
the sailor sings you this song;el marino te canta esta canción;
I don't live without you, port of my love.yo sin ti no vivo, puerto de mi amor.

From Cerro Los Placeres, I moved to Barón,Del cerro Los Placeres, yo me pasé al Barón,
I came to Cordillera, in search of your love,me vine al Cordillera, en busca de tu amor,
you went to Cerro Alegre and I, always behind,seguiste (te fuiste) a Cerro Alegre y yo, siempre detrás,
very handsome port worker, don't make me suffer anymore.porteño muy buen mozo (porteña buena moza), no me hagas sufrir más.

The square of La Victoria, is a social center,La plaza de La Victoria, es un centro social,
Pedro Montt Avenue, there's no other like you,Avenida Pedro Montt, como tú no hay otra igual,
but I would like to sing to you with all my heart,mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón,
Torpederas of my dreams, Valparaíso of my love.Torpederas de mi ensueño, Valparaíso de mi amor.

Music...Música…

In my early years I wanted to discover,En mis primeros años yo quise descubrir,
the history of your hills, playing with the kite,la historia de tus cerros, jugando al volantín,
like butterflies, flying among the roses,como las mariposas, que vuelan entre las rosas,
I roamed your hills to the very end.yo recorrí tus cerros hasta el último confín.

I moved away from you, beloved portYo me alejé de ti, puerto querido
and upon returning, I see you again.y al retornar de nuevo, te he vuelto (te vuelvo) a contemplar.
The jewel of the Pacific the sailors call youLa joya del Pacífico te llaman los marinos
and I call you enchantment, next to Viña del Mar.y yo te llamo encanto, junto a (como) Viña del Mar.

From Cerro Los Placeres, I moved to Barón,Del cerro Los Placeres, yo me pasé al Barón,
I came to Cordillera, in search of your love,me vine al Cordillera, en busca de tu amor,
you went to Cerro Alegre and I, always behind,seguiste (te fuiste) a Cerro Alegre y yo, siempre detrás,
very handsome port worker, don't make me suffer anymore.porteño muy buen mozo (porteña buena moza), no me hagas sufrir más.

The square of La Victoria, is a social center,La plaza de La Victoria, es un centro social,
Pedro Montt Avenue, there's no other like you,Avenida Pedro Montt, como tú no hay otra igual,
but I would like to sing to you with all my heart,mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón,
Torpederas of my dreams, Valparaíso...Torpederas de mi ensueño, Valparaíso...
Valparaíso of my love.Valparaíso de mi amor.
