El verso y la palabra
La lanza y la cancion!
Habra que ver la fiesta, del cielo que ahora pisas!
Rodeado de tus inca; que anciaban oir tu voz
Aqui se marchitaron, las rosas de tu pelo
Aqui ya no hay aroma, se lo llevo tu adios...
Del puente y la alameda, del rio y de la flor...
Dejame que te cante; chabuca, limeña!
Con versos de tu alama con sones de tu tierra!
Dejame que te diga; chabuca limeña!
Que se quedo llorando, la flor de la canela!
Por un caminito blanco, te marchaste con tu voz ...
Con tu flor de la canela, para cantarsela a dios!
Te quedaste en las guitarras y estas en cada cancion...
Y de tu gente peruana,,, vives en el corazon!
Aqui se marchitaron, las rosas de tu pelo
Aqui ya no hay aroma, se lo llevo tu adios...
Que el cielo nos devuelva,,, a chabuca enamorada...
Del puente y la alameda, del rio y de la flor...
Dejame que te cante; chabuca, limeña!
Con versos de tu alama con sones de tu tierra!
Dejame que te diga; chabuca limeña!
Que se quedo llorando, la flor de la canela!
Dejame que te cante; chabuca, limeña!
Con versos de tu alama con sones de tu tierra!
Dejame que te diga; chabuca limeña!
Que se quedo llorando... ...la flor de laaaaaa canela!
The lyrics of Eva Ayllón's song "Chabuca Limeña" are a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Peruvian composer and singer Chabuca Granda, who passed away in 1983. The song talks about how Chabuca took everything with her when she left - her poncho, her guitar, her poetry, and her songs. The singer wonders what kind of celebration is happening in heaven now that Chabuca has arrived, surrounded by her beloved Incas who always wanted to hear her voice. The lyrics also mention how Chabuca's departure has left a void in her homeland, with the roses in her hair wilting and the aroma disappearing.
The song is a plea for Chabuca to return in spirit and be once again enamored with the bridge, the alameda, the river, and the flower. The singer wishes to pay homage to Chabuca by singing about her soul and her land, reminding everyone that she is still present in every guitar and every Peruvian's heart. The song closes with an emotional refrain about the flower of cinnamon, symbolizing Chabuca's legacy, which will continue to live on through her music.

Esta canción siempre me encanto, pero después que falleció mi madre hace 14 siempre mis ojos se llenan de lagrimas. Agradezco conocer todas tus canciones gracias a ella.
Quizá nunca se cumplió si sueño de oírte y verte cantar en vivo, pero siempre que en mi casa suena una canción criolla interpretada por ti ella esta presente!
Gracias por todo Eva!
