Verse 1
Near Andes peaks, the great capital gleams, 
A vibrant haven, born of mountain dreams. 
The Plaza de Armas shows its proud stance, 
A long history offering its true chance. 
I see old monuments where the people pause, 
Guided by strong and important local laws.

Chorus
Warm sun brightly gleams. 
Pure mountain streams. 
Hope softly now beams. 
Living vibrant dreams.

Verse 2
A grand old Cathedral stands with solemn grace, 
Its deep importance in this sacred place. 
I walk through Bellavista's old terrain, 
Feeling joyful, free from any pain. 
The air is filled with lively, rhythmic sound, 
Where peaceful simple rituals are found.

Chorus
Warm sun brightly gleams. 
Pure mountain streams. 
Hope softly now beams. 
Living vibrant dreams.

Verse 3
The grand Cerro San Cristóbal climbs high, 
Where stunning views greet every passerby. 
I see the grand Mercado Central's true might, 
A bustling wonder, a pure, happy sight. 
These strong local customs feel so truly fine, 
A special feeling, wonderfully divine.

Chorus
Warm sun brightly gleams. 
Pure mountain streams. 
Hope softly now beams. 
Living vibrant dreams.

Verse 4
An hotelier smiled, a barman too,
Showing their place, all beautiful and new. 
They shared a warm room, a welcoming meal, 
A kind welcome, how wonderful to feel. 
They offered a stage, where my song could play, 
Building with me a true, strong loyal day.

Chorus
Warm sun brightly gleams. 
Pure mountain streams. 
Hope softly now beams. 
Living vibrant dreams.

After an epic fifty-hour hitchhiking trip from La Paz, Julian arrived in Santiago. His journey took him through the mines of Uyuni and the arid desert of Antofagasta. Exhausted from the effort, he was looking for shelter. It was in a neighborhood hotel that he met an employee and the bartender, who offered him a bed, food, and even a stage to perform on. ******************************************* © Copyright (2025) ******************************************* Verse 1 Near Andes peaks, the great capital gleams, A vibrant haven, born of mountain dreams.
