La Guardía Nueva

I am the new voice
Of the old song
That never dies
I am like a sparrow
That for the first time
Wants to sing to you
Allow me to nest
Singing you this waltz
Under your eaves

I am the new voice
That has asked God
To sing to my Peru
Like a goldfinch
To be able to say
That today I start to live
Telling Peru
How much I love it

I bring you in my song
The old tradition
That was written with palm leaves
Receive it in my voice
And place it with love
Inside the soul
I am the popular voice
That wants to sing
To what is ours
With the same fervor
And with the same love
That I pray before an altar
My Our Father

I am the new voice
That, from the heart
And to the beat of a drone
Delivers its soul to you
I bring that banner
That Pinglo left us
In every heart, I am
I am the new guard!
