En Mi Viejo San Juan...by Noel Estrada
In my Old San Juan, many dreams I forged in my childhood years
My first illusion, and my grief of love are memories of the soul
One afternoon I left for a foreign nation, that's how destiny would have it
But my heart remained in front of the sea, of my Old San Juan.
(chorus)
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
My dear Borinquen (land of my love)
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
Mi Goddess of the Sea (my Queen of the Palms)
I'm leaving (I'm leaving now)
But someday I'll return
To search for my love
To dream once again
In my Old San Juan.
But time passed me by and destiny fooled my terrible nostalgia.
And I could not return to the San Juan I loved, little piece of my soul.
My hair turned grey, my life is leaving me, death is calling me.
I do not want to die so far away from you, Puerto Rico of my soul!
