En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Cuantos sueños forjé
How many dreams did I forge?
En mis noches de infancia

Mi primera ilusión

Y mis cuitas de amor
and my love worries
Son recuerdos del alma
They are memories of the soul
Una tarde me fuí
One afternoon I left
Hacia a extraña nación
to a strange nation
Pues lo quiso el destino
Well, fate wanted it
Pero mi corazón
but my heart
Se quedo frente al mar
I stay in front of the sea
En mi viejo San Juan
In my old San Juan
Adiós (adiós adiós)
bye (bye bye)
Borinquen querida (tierra de mi amor)
Dear Borinquen (land of my love)
Adios (adios adios)

Mi diosa del mar (mi reina del palmar)
My goddess of the sea (my queen of the palm grove)
Me voy (ya me voy)

Pero un dia volveré

A buscar mi querer

A soñar otra vez

Pero el tiempo pasó

Y el destino burló

Mi terrible nostalgia

Y no pude volver

Al San Juan que yo amé

Pedacito de patria

Mi cabello blanqueó

Y mi vida se va

Ya la muerte me llama

Y no quiero morir

Alejado de ti
