Déjame que te cuente, limeño Déjame que te diga la gloria Del ensueño que evoca la memoria Del viejo puente, del río y la alameda Déjame que te cuente, limeño Ahora que aún perfuma el recuerdo Ahora que aún mece en su sueño El viejo puente el 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 Menundo pie la lleva Por la vereda que se estremece Al ritmo de su cadera Recogía la risa de la brisa del río Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda Déjame que te cuente, limeño ay! Deja que te diga moreno mi pensamiento A ver si así despiertas del sueño Del sueño que entretiene, moreno 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 que el río acompasara tu paso por la vereda Y recuerda que, 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 Menundo pie la lleva Por la vereda que se estremece Al ritmo de su cadera Recogía la risa de la brisa del río Y al viento la lanzaba del puente a la alameda
