DE CAROLINA Lyrics in English Rauw Alejandro , Dj Playero

DE CAROLINA is Rauw Alejandro’s energetic love letter to his hometown, Carolina, Puerto Rico. Backed by legendary producer DJ Playero, he turns the track into a block party where booming bass, screeching car tires, and playful street slang paint a vivid picture of the barrio. Repeating “Somos de Carolina y venimos virao’,” Rauw proudly waves his flag, announcing that he and his crew arrive virao’—full of swagger, ready to flip any scene upside-down. The chorus acts like a chant you would hear echoing through neighborhood streets, uniting everyone under the same pulse-pounding rhythm that birthed early reggaetón.

Beyond hometown pride, the lyrics celebrate the journey from hustling on corners at fourteen to hearing crowds in Spain yell “¡Olé!” for him. We bounce between gritty snapshots—dark glasses hiding a smoky night, warnings about stray gunfire, kids no longer playing in the park—and playful club imagery of perreo, Cadillacs, and seductive dance-floor encounters. It is equal parts bravado, gratitude, and raw street testimony: Rauw thanks “mi gente de Puerto Rico” for lifting him from poverty to global fame, all while reminding listeners where his heart remains. In short, “DE CAROLINA” is an anthem of roots, resilience, and rhythmic rebellion that invites you to feel the bass, learn the slang, and shout along with pride.
