Chavela Vargas

Isabel Vargas Lizano (April 17, 1919 – August 5, 2012), better known as Chavela Vargas, was a Costa Rican-born Mexican singer. She was especially known for her rendition of Mexican rancheras, but she is also recognized for her contribution to other genres of popular Latin American music. She has been an influential interpreter in the Americas and Europe, muse to figures such as Pedro Almodóvar, hailed for her haunting performances, and called "la voz áspera de la ternura", the rough voice of tenderness. The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, presented her with a Latin GRAMMY Statuette in 2007 after receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of that organization. more »

Déjame que te cuente, limeña  
Déjame que te diga la gloria  
Del ensueño que evoca la memoria  
Del viejo puente, del rí­o y la alameda  
Déjame que te cuente, limeña  
Ahora que aún perfuma el recuerdo  
Ahora que aún mece en su sueño  
El viejo puente del rí­o y la alameda  

Jazmines en el pelo y rosas en la cara  
Airosa caminaba la flor de la canela  
Derramaba lisura y a su paso dejaba  
Aroma de mixtura que en el pecho llevaba  

Del puente a la alameda  
Mundo pie la lleva  
Por la vereda que se estremece  
Al ritmo de sus caderas  
Recogí­a la risa de la brisa del rí­o  
Y al viento la lanzaba  
Del puente a la alameda  

Déjame que te cuente, limeña Ay!  
Deja que te diga morena mi pensamiento  
A ver si así­ despiertas del sueño  
Del sueño que entretiene, morena,  
Tus sentimientos  

Aspiras de la lisura  
Que da la flor de canela  
Adornada con jazmines  
Matizando tu hermosura  

Alfombras de nuevo el puente  
Y engalanas la alameda  
El rí­o acompasara tu paso por la vereda  

Jazmines en el pelo  

Del puente a la alameda
