Lyrics
Español
Déjame que te cuente, limeña Déjame que te diga la gloria, Del ensueño que evoca la memoria Del viejo puente, del río y la alameda. Déjame que te cuente, limeña Ahora que aún perfuma el recuerdo, Ahora que aún se mece en su sueño El viejo puente del río y la alameda. Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela, Derramaba lisura y a su paso dejaba Aroma de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba. Del puente a la alameda Menudo pie la lleva, Por la vereda que se estremece Al ritmo de sus caderas. Recogía la risa de la brisa del río, Y al viento la lanzaba Del puente a la alameda... Déjame que te cuente, limeña ¡ay! Deja que te diga, morena, mi pensamiento, A ver si así despiertas del sueño Del sueño que entretiene, morena, Tus sentimientos. Aspiras de la lisura Que da la flor de canela, Adornada con jazmines Matizando tu hermosura. Alfombras de nuevo el puente Y engalanas la alameda, El río acompasará tu paso por la vereda...

Let me tell you, Limeña Let me tell you the glory, Of the reverie that evokes the memory Of the old bridge, the river and the alameda. Let me tell you, Limeña Now that still perfumes the memory, Now that it still rocks in its dream The old bridge of the river and the alameda. Jasmines in her hair and roses on her face Airy walked the cinnamon flower, Pouring out smoothness and leaving in its wake Aroma of mixture that she carried in her breast. From the bridge to the avenue What a foot carries her, Along the sidewalk that shudders To the rhythm of her hips. She picked up the laughter of the river breeze, And to the wind she threw it From the bridge to the alameda... Let me tell you, limeña, oh my! Let me tell you, brunette, my thoughts, Let's see if this way you wake up from the dream From the dream that entertains, brunette, Your feelings. You aspire from the smoothness That gives the cinnamon flower, Adorned with jasmine Tinting your beauty. You carpet the bridge again And adorn the alameda, The river will accompany your step along the path...
