Lima is the capital and the largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, in the central part of the country, on a desert coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Together with the seaport of Callao, it forms a contiguous urban area known as the Lima Metropolitan Area. With a population approaching 9 million, Lima is the fifth largest city in Latin America, behind Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Lima is home to one of the largest financial hubs in Latin America. It has been defined as a beta world city by GaWC international ranking.
Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as la Ciudad de los Reyes, or "the City of Kings". It became the capital and most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru. Following the Peruvian War of Independence, it became the capital of the Republic of Peru. Today, around one-third of the Peruvian population lives in the metropolitan area.
Lima is home to one of the oldest higher learning institutions in the New World. The National University of San Marcos, founded on May 12, 1551 during Spanish colonial regime, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the Americas.
Peru i/pəˈruː/ (Spanish: Perú; Quechua: Perú;Aymara: Piruw), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú, pronounced: [reˈpuβlika ðel peˈɾu] ( listen)), is a country in western South America. It is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures, spanning from the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes Mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 31%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.
Cuando tu no estas by LimberMe adormezco cada vez que yo te veo
Me enloquece el fino brillo de tu pelo
Todo esto es lo que siento cuando tu no estas
Si me miras a los ojos no me muevo
Tu sonrisa que es tan clara como el cielo
Es mi unica esperanza cuando tu no estas
Quisiera parar el tiempo
Para verte un minuto más aqui
Cuando tu no estas
No vivo, no respiro
Tengo el corazon partido
Todo lo que digo pierde su sentido
Cuando tu no estas
Te extraño todo el dia
Y muero de melancolia
Todo eso me pasa sólo cuando tú no estás
Tu figura me ilumina y me envenena
Derritiendome bajo la luna llena
Todo eso me sucede cuando tu no estas
Cuando me hablas se me olvida hasta mi nombre
No se que decir mi boca no responde
Caigo en un abismo solo cuando tu no estas
Voy a detener el tiempo
Y decirte lo que siento
Todo lo que me pasa solo cuando tu no estas
Me pierdo solo cuando tu no estas
Lo olvido todo cuando tu no estas
Me pasa sólo cuando tú no estas
Solamente cuando tu no estas
No vivo no respiro, tengo el corazon partido
