In My Old San Juan

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 departed
For a foreign nation
That's how destiny would have it
But my heart remained at the seas
Of my Old San Juan

Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
My dear Borinquen (land of my love)
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
My 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 my San Juan of yesterday
Little piece of my soul.
My hair turned white, my life is about to leave
Death is upon me
I do not want to die
So far away from you Puerto Rico of my soul!
