Lima, Lima, oh Lima
At night through your streets
resounds a song that I can't forget,
that never will leave me alone.

Why did I ever leave you ?
Your palm trees and your melodies ?
As the song of happiness sang for me
But it was over too quickly

Lima, Lima, oh Lima
Where the wind rustles over the palm trees
and the sun makes its golden rays
come down from a clear blue sky
Lima, Lima

Why did I ever leave you ?
Your palm trees and your melodies ?
As the song of happiness sang for me
But it was over too quickly.

Lima, Lima, oh Lima
Once I will come back to you again
Because I can't forget you
Because my past lies in you
Lima, Lima
