Chabuca limeña [English translation]

You took everything,

The poncho and the guitar,

The verse and the word,

The dance and the song.

One has to see the party

In heaven where you're standing,

Surrounded by your incas,

Who desired to hear your voice.

Here withered,

The roses of your hair,

Here there are no more aromas,

Your farewell took them away.

May heaven bring back to us,

Chabuca in love,

Of the bridge and the boulevard,

Of the river and the flower.

Let me sing for you,

Chabuca of Lima,

With verses of your soul,

With sounds of your land.

Let me tell you,

Chabuca of Lima,

That the cinnamon flower,

Remained crying.
