En Mi Viejo San Juan

In my old San Juan
How many dreams I dreamt up
In my childhood years
My first great hope
And my love troubles
They are memories from my soul

One afternoon I left
Towards a foreign land
That's what destiny wanted
But my heart
Stayed by the ocean
In my old San Juan

Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My dear Borinquen
Queen of the palm trees
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My goddess of the sea
Queen of my love

I'm off
I'm really going
But one day I'll be back
To find my love
To find my love
To dream again
To dream again
In my old San Juan

But time passed
And fate played a trick
On my terrible homesickness
And I couldn't go back
To the San Juan I loved
My little piece of homeland

My hair's turned white
My life is going
Death is calling me
And I don't want to die
Away from you
Puerto Rico of my soul

My dear Borinquen
Queen of the palm trees
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My goddess of the sea
Queen of my love

I'm off
I'm really going
But one day I'll be back
To find my love
To find my love
To dream again
To dream again
In my old San Juan
