Puerto Vallarta, mi bella tierra
te llevo siempre en el corazón
Tu significas amor y sueños
mar y palmeras, un mundo azul.
Para quererte, hay que alejarse
y al extrañarte hay que volver
y así encontrarte como en mis sueños
como en mis sueños yo te añoré
Cuando estoy lejos siento nostalgia
cierro los ojos y vuelvo a tí
Vallarta lindo, Vallarta hermoso
mi corazón es para tí
Eres la playa que está embrujada
bajo el hechizo del bello mar
las ilusiones cual las gaviotas
vienen, se posan, luego se van
Puerto Vallarta mi paraiso nunca en la vida te olvidaré
y cuando muera, Puerto Vallarta mi alma en tus olas
yo dejaré

Puerto Vallarta, my beautiful land
I carry you always, in my heart
You mean love and dreams to me,
sea and palm trees, a world of blue.
In order to love you, one must go far away
and upon missing you, one must return
and in that way find you, as I do in my dreams
As in my dreams I longed for you.
When I am far away,
I feel nostalgia
I close my eyes and return to you.
Lovely Vallarta, beautiful Vallarta
My heart is for you
You are the beach which is bewitched
under the spell of the lovely sea
Illusions and dreams, just as the seagulls
come, alight and then leave.
Puerto Vallarta, my paradise, never in my life will I forget you,
and when I die, my soul on your waves I will leave behind.
