Lyrics of En Mi Viejo San Juan - Juan Diego Flórez, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Miguel Harth-Bedoya

En Mi Viejo San Juan (original)

En mi viejo San Juan
Cuantos sue?
Os forj?
En mis noches de infancia
Mi primera ilusi?
N Y mis quitas de amor
Son recuerdos del alma
Una tarde me fui
As?
A extra?
A naci?
N Pues lo quiso el destino
Pero mi coraz?
N Se qued?
Frente al mar
En mi viejo San Juan
Adi?
S (adi? S, adi? S)
Borinquen querida
(Due? A de mi amor)
Adi?
S (adi? S, adi? S)
Mi diosa del mar
(Mi reina del palmar)
Me voy (ya me voy)
Pero un d?
A volver?
A buscar mi querer
A so?
Ar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan
Pero el tiempo pas?
Y el destino burl?
Mi terrible nostalgia
Y no pude volver
Al San Juan que yo am?
Pedacito de patria
Mi cabello blanqueo
Ya mi vida se va Ya la muerte me llame
Y no quiero morir
Alejado de t?
Puerto Rico del alma, adi?
S

(translation)

In my old San Juan
How many sue?
I forged you
In my childhood nights
My first illusion
N And my love bonuses
They are memories of the soul
One afternoon I went
Ace?
to extra?
I was born
N Well, fate wanted it
But my heart?
N Did you stay?
Oceanfront
In my old San Juan
bye?
Yeah (bye? Yeah, bye? Yeah)
Borinquen dear
(Due? To my love)
bye?
Yeah (bye? Yeah, bye? Yeah)
my sea goddess
(My queen of the palm grove)
I'm leaving (I'm leaving)
But one day
to return?
to look for my love
what?
ar again
In my old San Juan
But the time passed?
And burl fate?
my terrible nostalgia
And I couldn't go back
To San Juan that I am?
little piece of homeland
my hair bleached
Now my life is gone Now death calls me
And I don't want to die
away from you
Puerto Rico of the soul, adi?
yes
