En Mi Viejo San Juan Javier Solís (English Translation) Lyrics

In my old San Juan
How many dreams I forged
In my childhood nights
My first illusion
And my love affairs
Are memories of the soul

One afternoon I left
Towards a strange nation
Because fate wanted it
But my heart
Stays by the sea
In my old San Juan

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Beloved Borinquen
Land of my love
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My sea goddess
My queen of the palm grove

I’m leaving but one day I’ll return
To seek my love
To dream again
In my old San Juan

But time passed
And fate tricked
My terrible nostalgia
And I couldn’t return
To the San Juan that I loved
A piece of homeland

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

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Beloved Borinquen
Land of my love
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
My sea goddess
My queen of the palm grove

I’m leaving but one day I’ll return
To seek my love
To dream again
In my old San Juan
