La Joya del Pacífico
Palmenia Pizarro
The Jewel of the Pacific
You are a rainbow of multiple colors
to you, Valparaíso, main port,
your women are white daisies,
all of them taken from your sea.
Looking at you from Playa Ancha, beautiful port,
there the ships are seen coming and going,
the sailor sings you this song;
I don't live without you, port of my love.
From Cerro Los Placeres, I moved to Barón,
I came to Cordillera, in search of your love,
you went to Cerro Alegre and I, always behind,
very handsome port worker, don't make me suffer anymore.
The square of La Victoria, is a social center,
Pedro Montt Avenue, there's no other like you,
but I would like to sing to you with all my heart,
Torpederas of my dreams, Valparaíso of my love.
Music...
In my early years I wanted to discover,
the history of your hills, playing with the kite,
like butterflies, flying among the roses,
I roamed your hills to the very end.
I moved away from you, beloved port
and upon returning, I see you again.
The jewel of the Pacific the sailors call you
and I call you enchantment, next to Viña del Mar.
From Cerro Los Placeres, I moved to Barón,
I came to Cordillera, in search of your love,
you went to Cerro Alegre and I, always behind,
very handsome port worker, don't make me suffer anymore.
The square of La Victoria, is a social center,
Pedro Montt Avenue, there's no other like you,
but I would like to sing to you with all my heart,
Torpederas of my dreams, Valparaíso...
Valparaíso of my love.
