Bello Durmiente
Juan Diego Florez
Sleeping Beauty
I love you Peru! And I would travel
All the range of greens that adorn you
And the proud gray mantle of your coast
That when climbing the hills turns into colors
I would climb to your highest summit
To stretch my arms and hug you
And in that solitude humbly ask
That you return my kiss as I kiss you
And it's a waste of love my sky
And it's because it's the son of the sun, my Peru
It's a giant cradled by its desires
Beautiful sleeper dreaming in front of the sky
This dream is shared by three beloved ones
Naked coast, hopeful
Passionate exuberant jungle
And a shy enamored sierra
Generous Peru, beautiful sleeper!
