Acércate Cholito

Get closer to Peru, come closer dude,
come soon, you'll see, it will be worth telling.
We will go hand in hand, admiring the beauties
and the phantasmagorias of colonial Lima.

It's clear that the bridge and the promenade will be there,
memories of a beautiful Peru to evoke,
but you will also see an illuminated horizon
by a dawn that nothing will stop.

Come soon because this, indeed, deserves to be seen up close,
A town that renews the Incas' land.
And on the very side of the growing America
its hope already trembles with its folk song.

Come soon because a newly born Peru awaits you,
There is a new reflection in the mountains and in the sea.
With a festive air of Creole waltz and marinera
companion, we await you around here.

Get closer to Peru, come on, don't delay,
there is much to see and imagine
in a wandering through alleys and balconies
a magic from another time will open to your eyes.

You will learn about that viceroy who loved Perricholi
to tell his old love story on the banks of the Rimac
but fading those shadows of the past
there is a Peru that awaits your fraternal visit.
