En Mi Viejo San Juan

In my old San Juan
countless dreams I forged
in my childhood nights

my first illusion
and my love sorrows
are memories of the soul

one afternoon I left
to a strange nation
as destiny wanted

but my heart
stayed by the sea
in my old San Juan

goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
beloved Borinquen
country of my love

goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
my goddess of the sea
my queen of the palm grove

I'm leaving
I'm leaving now

but one day I will return
to seek my love
and dream again
in my old San Juan

goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
beloved Borinquen
country of my love

goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
my goddess of the sea
my queen of the palm grove

I'm leaving
I'm leaving now

but one day I will return
to seek my love
and dream again
in my old San Juan
