En Mi Viejo San Juan lyrics

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
