En mi viejo san Juan what dreams I had
In the nights when I was young
All the stories that I heard
The tastes, the sounds the words
Cremita, abuelita

And as the years went on by and I realized
All that I had imagined
Lay across oceans blue
In a land I never knew
En mi viejo san Juan

Goodbye boriquen querida
Goodbye mi diosa del mar
I'm here, I'm still here
And I am still trying
To feel that first love
To dream again
En mi viejo san Juan

Pero el tiempo pasó y aprendí español
En la escuela secundaria
And I moved to the north
So far from your shores
To the carolinas

People ask if I've been and I just reply
No but I'm wishing
To really get to know
Who's in these family photos
En mi viejo san Juan

Goodbye boriquen querida
Goodbye mi diosa del mar
I'm here, I'm still here
And I am still trying
To feel that first love
To dream again
En mi viejo san Juan
