Melgar [English translation]

White city, of the eternal blue sky

all sun, mountains of my home

where I was born, where I was raised

to love

I leave my dreams here,

I leave my love here,

I leave my dream here,

I leave my love here,

I leave my tears here,

of eternal grief

because my sad star was cruel

Good bye Silvia, it is lost

the faith of your love, my faith

when leaving for my submited country

and for my good,

I leave goodbye, I leave goodbye, good bye, good bye

The clarion played, I go there

to defend my country

my lovely Silvia, my love,

the clarion played, lets go there,

Oh homeland, I want to die for you

Me and everyone with honor

Oh Arequipa, city of my dreams,

Misti colossus, guardian of my city,

I wish for freedom and love,

love and freedom my Lord.
