Valparaíso

Looking at those old photos
Of the old port and autumnal
Climbing up a broken hill
From Valparaiso upon arrival
A ship brought a sailor
And when he entered the Roland bar
Valparaiso gave itself entirely
Just to see him pass by

Old Valparaiso, Valparaiso
This song won't be enough
To give you back what you've left me
Your images and your color
Old Valparaiso, Valparaiso
How to sing your pain
Riding the elevators
That saw that love leave

Listening to Lucho Barrios
In that same bar
Where the sailor left his mark
And the woman stopped shining
Now that the years go by
And we see the trolleys pass
Disguised as heritage
Poverty will have to hide

Old Valparaiso, Valparaiso
This song won't be enough
To give you back what you've left me
Your images and your color
Old Valparaiso, Valparaiso
How to tell you that pain
Riding the elevators
That saw their love leave
