Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Barranquilla Me Quedo by Joe Arroyo from Spanish to English.
Vasílalo rumbero
Vasílalo rumbero
Del caribe aflora
From the Caribbean emerges
Bella, encantadora
Beautiful, charming
Con mar y rio
With sea and river
Una gran sociedad
A great society
Barranquilla hermosa
Beautiful Barranquilla
Yo te canto ahora
I sing to you now
Con gratitud y amor
With gratitude and love
Del cantor al pueblo que adora
From the singer to the people who adore
A la nobleza y sentir
To the nobility and feel
De su gente acogedora
From its welcoming people
A mi patria chiquita
To my little homeland
Que me apoyó
Who supported me
Tu nombre pa mi significa
Your name to me means
La esperanza de la vida
Life expectancy
Llegue a ti cuando tenia
I came to you when I had
Mis catorce primavera'
My Fourteen Springs'
Blablabla, blebleble, blobloblo
Blablabla, bleblebleble, blobloblo
Tomé mi resolución
I made my resolution
Que lo sepa todo el mundo
Let the whole world know
Que en Barranquilla me quedo
That I'm staying in Barranquilla
En Barranquilla me quedo
I'm staying in Barranquilla
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo
I'm staying, I'm staying, I'm staying, I'm staying
Me quedo viviendo a lo ñero
I'm living like hell
yo te lo juro y no soy cañero bebe
I swear to you and I'm not a cane boy baby
En la arenosa me quedo
In the sandy I stay
La mejor tierra antillana
The best Antillean land
Donde la gente es tan grata
Where people are so welcome
Puerta de oro y de la salsa
Golden & Sauce Gate
Para mi Dios que yo le pego
To my God, I hit him
Quien denigre de esta raza
Whoever denigrates this race
Y si a mi me meten preso
And if they put me in jail
Barranquilla a mi me saca, porque
Barranquilla takes me out, because
En tierra firme me quedo
On dry land I'm staying
Yo lo pregono porque te quiero mujer
I proclaim it because I love you woman
En la arenosa me quedo
In the sandy I stay
A Barranquilla querida yo le traigo este mambo
To Barranquilla, my dear, I bring you this mambo
En Baraquilla me quedo sabroso ahí na más
In Baraquilla I stay tasty there na más
Por su mujeres, que linda son sus mujeres
For his women, how beautiful are his women
Tierra linda y tropical
Beautiful and tropical land
Te juro que me quedo me quedo a gozar
I swear I'm staying, I'm staying to enjoy
