Guayaquil de Mis Amores

You're a pearl that emerged
From the greatest unknown sea
And if to the sound of its lullaby
You turned into a garden

Sovereign in its endeavors
Our God formed a paradise
With your beautiful Guayaquil
Guayaquil of my dreams

If to your blondes and brunettes
Who go crazy with passion
There beats a heart
That soothes dark sorrows

With their green eyes like seas
Or in the black nightfall
They always impose their will
Guayaquil of my songs

Because they have the princesses
Who captivate at sight
And intoxicate with a kiss
With their cherry lips

I demand from you the sweetness
With which I long to live
To never suffer again
Guayaquil of my tenderness

And when I look into their green eyes
Where my soul longs to be
Imprisoned like the sea
Or as I kneel down

In the nights with brightness
That their black eyes are
My heart will tell you
Guayaquil of my loves
