En Mi Viejo San Juan Lyrics in English José Feliciano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Mi Viejo San Juan by José Feliciano from Spanish to English.
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Cuantos sueños forjé
How many dreams I forged
En mis años de infancia
In my childhood years
Mi primera ilusión
My first dream
Y mis cuitas de amor
And my love troubles
Son recuerdos del alma
Are memories of the soul
Una tarde me fuí
One afternoon I left
Hacia a extraña nación
toward a strange nation
Pues lo quiso el destino
Because destiny wanted that
Pero mi corazón
But my heart
Se quedo frente al mar
stayed in front of the sea
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Adiós
Goodbye
Borinquen querida
Dear Borinquen
Adios
Goodbye
Mi diosa del mar
My goddess of the sea
Me voy
I'm leaving
Pero pronto volveré
But soon I'll return
A buscar mi querer
To seek 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 return
Al San Juan que yo amé
To the San Juan that I loved
Pedacito de patria
Little piece of homeland
Mi cabello blanqueó
My hair turned white
Ya mi vida se va
Now my life is leaving
Ya la muerte me llama
Now death is calling me
Y no quiero morir
And I don't want to die
Alejado de ti
Far from you
Puerto Rico del alma
Puerto Rico of my soul
Adiós
Goodbye
Borinquen querida
Dear Borinquen
Adiós
Goodbye
Mi diosa del mar
My goddess of the sea
Me voy
I'm leaving
Pero un día volveré
But one day I'll return
A buscar mi querer
To seek my love
A soñar otra vez
To dream again
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
