En Mi Viejo San Juan Lyrics in English Ismael Miranda
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Mi Viejo San Juan by Ismael Miranda from Spanish to English.
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Cuántos sueños forjé
How many dreams I forged
En mis noches de infancia
In my childhood nights
Mi primera ilusión
My first illusion
Y mis cuitas de amor
And my love troubles
Son recuerdos del alma
Are memories of the soul
Una tarde me fui
One afternoon I left
Hacia extraña nación
Towards a strange nation
Pues lo quiso el destino
Because destiny wanted it
Pero mi corazón
But my heart
Se quedó frente al mar
Stayed in front of the sea
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Borinquen querida
Beloved Borinquen
Tierra de mi amor
Land of my love
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Mi diosa del mar
My goddess of the sea
Mi reina del palmar
My queen of the palm grove
Me voy pero un día volveré
I'm leaving but one day I will return
A buscar mi querer
To search for my love
A soñar otra vez
To dream again
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Pero el tiempo pasó
But time passed
Y el destino burló
And destiny mocked
Mi terrible nostalgia
My terrible nostalgia
Y no pude volver
And I couldn't go back
Al San Juan que yo amé
To the San Juan that I loved
Pedacito de patria
A piece of homeland
Mi cabello blanqueó
My hair turned white
Y mi vida se va
And my life is fading away
Ya la muerte me llama
Death is calling me now
Y no quiero morir
And I don't want to die
Alejado de ti
Away from you
Puerto Rico del alma
Puerto Rico of the soul
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Borinquen querida
Beloved Borinquen
Tierra de mi amor
Land of my love
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Mi diosa del mar
My goddess of the sea
Mi reina del palmar
My queen of the palm grove
Me voy pero un día volveré
I'm leaving but one day I will return
A buscar mi querer
To search for my love
A soñar otra vez
To dream again
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
