En Mi Viejo San Juan - Roxanne Jarrett Voice Sample with English Subtitles

Roxanne's English Translation: In my old San Juan How many dreams were forged In my childhood nights My first fantasy And my heartbreaks Are my soul's memories One afternoon I went To a strange nation As fate would have it But my heart Stayed at the beachfront In my old San Juan Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Dear "Borinquen," land that I love Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye My goddess of the sea, my queen of palm groves I go But one day I will return To find my love To dream once again In my old San Juan But time has passed And fate has taunted My terrible homesickness And I could not return To my beloved San Juan Little piece of homeland My hair grows white And my life is going Already death calls me And I don't want to die Away from you Puerto Rico of my soul Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Dear "Borinquen," land that I love Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye My goddess of the sea, my queen of palm groves I go But one day I will return To find my love To dream once again In my old San Juan
