José Feliciano - En Mi Viejo San Juan (Official Lyric Video)

José Feliciano's official lyric video for 'En Mi Viejo San Juan' produced by Tor Hyams and Frank Licari. Quite Frankly Productions, LLC for Anthem Records, LLC. Available everywhere: smarturl.it/SanJuan
“En Mi Viejo San Juan” - considered by many Puerto Ricans to be the country’s second national anthem - is a new offering from international superstar and nine-time Grammy José Feliciano via Anthem Records (his new label home through Anthem Entertainment). 20% of Anthem Records’ proceeds from José’s recordings of “En Mi Viejo San Juan” will be donated to the Flamboyan Arts Fund - an initiative dedicated to preserving, amplifying, and sustaining the arts in Puerto Rico by supporting all facets of the arts community including: music, theater, visual arts, dance, literature, and youth arts direction. The fund was established as a partnership between Lin-Manuel Miranda, his family, Jeffrey Seller (the producer of HAMILTON), and the Flamboyan Foundation. The Huffington Post exclaimed Feliciano along with Ozuna “brought Twitter to tears” when the “legend” performed the song on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this year when the show was broadcasting from Puerto Rico.

LYRICS
En mi viejo San Juan
Cuántos sueños forjé
En mis noches de infancia
Mi primera ilusión
Y mis cuitas de amor
Son recuerdos del alma
Una tarde me fui
Hacia extraña nación
Pues lo quiso el destino
Pero mi corazón
Se quedó frente al mar
En mi viejo San Juan
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Borinquen 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 soñar 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
Alejado de ti
Puerto Rico del alma
Adiós, adiós, adiós
Borinquen 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 soñar otra vez
En mi viejo San Juan

José Feliciano is a nine-time Grammy and Lifetime Achievement Award winning Puerto Rican-born musician, singer and composer. He is known for many international hits, including his rendition of “California Dreamin’” featured in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 hit movie “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”, The Doors’ “Light My Fire”, “Che Sarà”, “La Copa Rota”, “Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?”, and one of the best-selling Christmas songs of all time “Feliz Navidad”. In 1968, Feliciano stirred national controversy and made history as the first artist ever to stylize the national anthem. His soulful recording of “The Star-Spangled Banner” became the first version of the anthem to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. José Feliciano's new album "Behind This Guitar" was produced by long-time collaborator and Grammy-nominated producer Rick Jarrard. It features the single "Behind This Guitar" and a cover of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.
