En Mi Viejo San Juan Lyrics

Lyrics
En mi viejo San Juan
Cuantos sue? os forj?
En mis a? os de infancia
Mi primera ilusi? n
Y mis cuitas de amor
Son recuerdos del alma
Una tarde me fui
A esa extra? a naci? n
Pues lo quiso el destino
Pero mi coraz? n
Se qued? junto al mar
En mi viejo San Juan
Adi? s, adi? s, adi? s,
Borigen querida
Tierra de mi amor
Adi? s, adi? s, adi? s,
Mi diosa del mar
Reina del palmar
Me voy, ya me voy
Pero un d? a vover?
A buscar mi querer
A so? ar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan
M? sica
Pero el tiempo pas?
Y el destino nubl?
Mi terrible nostalgia
Y no pude volver
Al San Juan que yo am?
Pedacito de patria
Mi cabello blanque?
Hoy mi vida se va
Ya la muerte me llama
Y no quiero morir
Alejado de t?
Puerto rico del alma.
Adi? s, adi? s, adi? s,
Borigen querida
Tierra de mi amor
Adi? s, adi? s, adi? s,
Mi diosa del mar
Reina del palmar
Me voy, ya me voy
Pero un d? a vover?
A buscar mi querer
A so? ar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan
