La Joya Del Pacifico
Joe Vasconcellos
Lyrics
Translation
Eres un arco iris de múltiples colores
You are a rainbow of multiple colors
Tu Valparaíso puerto principal
Your Valparaíso main port
Tus mujeres son blancas margaritas
Your women are white daisies
Todas ellas arrancadas de tu mar
All of them torn from your sea
Al mirarte de playa ancha lindo puerto
Looking at you from Playa Ancha beautiful port
Allí se ven las naves al salir y al entrar
There the ships can be seen coming and going
El marino te canta esta canción
The sailor sings you this song
Yo sin ti no vivo puerto de mi amor
Without you, I don't live, port of my love
Del cerro Los Placeres yo me pase al Barón
From Los Placeres hill, I moved to Barón
Me vine al cordillera en busca de tu amor
I came to the mountains in search of your love
Te fuiste al cerro alegre y yo siempre detrás
You went to Cerro Alegre, and I always followed
Porteña buena moza no me hagas sufrir mas
Porteña, good-looking, don't make me suffer anymore
La plaza de la victoria es un centro social
Victory square is a social center
O avenida Pedro Montt como tu no hay otra igual
Or Pedro Montt avenue, like you, there is no other equal
Mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón
But I would like to sing to you with all my heart
Torpedera de mi ensueño Valparaíso de mi amor
Torpedo boat of my dream, Valparaíso of my love
En mis primeros años yo quise descubrir
In my early years, I wanted to discover
La historia de tus cerros jugando al volantín
The story of your hills playing with the kite
Como las mariposas que vuelan entre las rosas
Like butterflies flying among the roses
Yo recorrí tus cerros hasta el ultimo confín
I toured your hills to the last corner
Yo me aleje de ti puerto querido
I moved away from you, dear port
Y al retornar de nuevo te vuelvo a contemplar
And upon returning, I see you again
La joya del pacifico te llaman los marinos
The jewel of the Pacific, sailors call you
Y yo te llamo encanto como viña del mar
And I call you enchantment, like Viña del Mar
Del cerro Los Placeres yo me pase al Barón
From Los Placeres hill, I moved to Barón
Me vine al cordillera en busca de tu amor
I came to the mountains in search of your love
Te fuiste al cerro alegre y yo siempre detrás
You went to Cerro Alegre, and I always followed
Porteña buena moza no me hagas sufrir mas
Porteña, good-looking, don't make me suffer anymore
La plaza de la victoria es un centro social
Victory square is a social center
O avenida Pedro Montt como tu no hay otra igual
Or Pedro Montt avenue, like you, there is no other equal
Mas yo quisiera cantarte con todito el corazón
But I would like to sing to you with all my heart
Torpedera de mi ensueño Valparaíso de mi amor
Torpedo boat of my dream, Valparaíso of my love
Con todo mi corazón hasta el ultimo confín
With all my heart to the last corner
Con todo mi corazón yo te vengo a contemplar
With all my heart, I come to contemplate you
Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor
With all my heart, Valparaíso of my love
Con todo mi corazón como tu no hay otra igual
With all my heart, like you, there is no other equal
Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor

Con todo mi corazón Valparaíso de mi amor
With all my heart, Valparaíso of my love
