En mi viejo san juan

In my old San Juan

En mi viejo san juan

In my old San Juan,En mi viejo San Juan,
How many times I forged,Cuantas veces forjé,
In my childhood nights,En mis noches de infancia,
My first illusion,Mi primera ilusión,
And my love sorrows,Y mis cuitas de amor,
Are memories of the soul.Son recuerdos del alma.

One afternoon I leftUna tarde parti
Towards a strange nation,hacia a extraña nación,
As destiny wanted it,Pues lo quiso el destino,
But my heart,Pero mi corazón,
Stayed in front of the sea,Se quedo frente al mar,
In my old San Juan.En mi viejo San Juan.

Goodbye,Adiós,
Beloved Borinquen,Borinquen querida,
Land of my lovetierra de mi amor
Goodbye,Adiós,
My goddess of the sea,Mi diosa del mar,
The queen of the palm grovela reina del palmar
I'm leaving,Me voy,
But one day I will return,Pero un día volveré,
To seek my love,A buscar mi querer,
To dream again,A soñar otra vez,
In my old San Juan.En mi viejo San Juan.

But time passed,Pero el tiempo pasó,
And destiny erased,Y el destino borro,
My terrible nostalgia,Mi terrible nostalgia,
And I couldn't return,Y no pude volver,
To the San Juan that I loved,Al San Juan que yo amé,
Piece of my homeland,Pedacito de mi patria,
My hair turned white,Mi cabello blanqueó,
And my life is fading,Y ya mi vida se va,
Death is calling me,Ya la muerte me llama,
And I don't want to die,Y no quiero morir,
Away from you,Alejado de ti,
Puerto Rico of the soul.Puerto Rico del alma.

Goodbye,Adiós,
