Paroles et traduction María Dolores Pradera - Limeña (Remasterizado)

Limeña (Remasterizado)

Limeña, que tienes alma de tradición
Repican las castañuelas de tu tacón,
Pasito a paso, vas caminando,
Por la vereda que va entonando,
Como si fuera un bordón
Con pases de marinera con tu tacón.

Boquita de caramelo, cutis de seda,
Magnolia que se ha escapado de la alameda,
En tu sonrisa hay un pañuelo,
Que enamorado llega hasta el cielo,
Perfumado de jazmín,
Para bailar marineras por San Martín. (bis)

Boquita de caramelo, cutis de seda,
Magnolia que se ha escapado de la alameda,
En tu sonrisa hay un pañuelo,
Que enamorado llega hasta el cielo,
Perfumado de jazmín,
Para bailar marineras por San Martín. (bis)

Limeña (Remastered)

O, fair maid from Lima, your soul is steeped in tradition
The castanets upon your heels, their rhythm a sweet rendition,
Step by step, you dance your way,
Upon a path that sings a serenade,
As if it were a walking stick
Your heel-taps weave a mariner's dance.

Your lips, as sweet as candy, your skin, a silken dream,
A magnolia blossom escaped from a boulevard, it would seem,
In your smile, a handkerchief I see,
That rises heavenward, filled with pure glee,
Scented with the jasmine's grace,
To dance the marinera in San Martín's embrace. (bis)

That rises heavenward, filled with pure glee,
Scented with the jasmine's grace,
To dance the marinera in San Martín's embrace. (bis)
