En mi viejo San Juan
Cuantos sue?os forjé
En mis noches de infancia
Mi primera ilusión
Y mis cuitas de amor
Son recuerdos del alma.
Una tarde me fui
Hacia a extra?a nación
Pues lo quiso el destino
Pero mi corazón
Se quedó frente al mar
En mi viejo San Juan.
CORO
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Borinquén querida, tierra de mi amor
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Mi diosa del mar, mi reina del palmar
Me voy, pero un día volveré
A buscar mi querer, a so?ar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan.
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
Alejada de ti
Puerto Rico del alma.
CORO
