Yo soy un tipo tranquilo
I am a calm guy
No me gusta el alboroto
I don't like commotion
Y creo que ni un terremoto
And I believe not even an earthquake
Pueda cambiarme ese estilo
Can change that style of mine
Pero si un tambor resuena
But if a drum resonates
En medio del callejón
In the middle of the alley
Allí con mucha pasión
There with a lot of passion
Tú me verás entrega'o
You'll see me devoted
Porque me gusta la rumba
Because I like rumba
Y en la rumba estoy cria'o
And I grew up with rumba
Porque me gusta la rumba
Because I like rumba
Y en la rumba estoy cria'o
And I grew up with rumba
Rumba de esquina, música fina del corazón
Corner rumba, fine music from the heart
Rumba caliente donde la gente encuentra su voz
Hot rumba where people find their voice
Rumba de esquina la más genuina te canto yo-oh-oh
Corner rumba, the most genuine, I sing to you-oh-oh
Rumba caliente donde mi gente encuentra su voz
Hot rumba where my people find their voice
Vente conmigo, para rumba de esquina
Come with me, to the corner rumba
Vente conmigo, para rumba de esquina
Come with me, to the corner rumba
Oye, llamada a los caseríos
Hey, a call to the projects
Una rumba se avecina
A rumba is approaching
Vente conmigo, para rumba de esquina
Come with me, to the corner rumba
Y yo que tengo un tambor recién compra'o
And I, who have a newly bought drum
Y la llave que lo afila
And the key that tunes it
Vente conmigo, para rumba de esquina
Come with me, to the corner rumba
Pero que ven, ven, ven
But come, come, come
Ven, ven, tú me conoces bien y sabes que estoy al cien
Come, come, you know me well and you know I'm at a hundred
Haciendo lo que quería
Doing what I wanted
Vente conmigo, para rumba de esquina
Come with me, to the corner rumba
Oye Tomaza, dime qué te pasa
Hey Tomaza, tell me what's wrong
Que sigues en tu casa y mi rumba está encendi'a
That you're still at home and my rumba is lit
Ay mamá, que mi rumba no se acabe
Oh babe, don't let my rumba end
Tú que pedías y pedias rumba
You who kept asking and asking for rumba
Toma jabón pa' que laves
Here's the soap, now wash up
Ay mamá, que mi rumba no se acabe
Oh babe, don't let my rumba end
Y veo por ahí muchos soneros
And I see many soneros out there
Metan mano, no se callen
Get to it, don't be quiet
Ay mamá, que mi rumba no se acabe
Oh babe, don't let my rumba end
Yo soy un tipo tranquilo
I am a calm guy
Pero así mismo te digo, no te metas si no sabes
But I'm telling you the same, don't get involved if you don't know
Ay mamá, que mi rumba no se acabe
Oh babe, don't let my rumba end
Ay, ay, aquí sí que hay pa' pasarla bien
Oh, oh, here there really is a way to have a good time
Vamos a cantar en la calle
Let's sing in the street
Ay mamá, que mi rumba no se acabe
Oh babe, don't let my rumba end
Soy su detall
I am their special touch
Oye rumbero, después no digas que no te invité
Hey rumbero, don't say later that I didn't invite you
Ven y ven
Come and come
Y llegó
And he arrived

Did you like this lyrics translation?
caseríos — housing projects / neighborhoods
Caseríos literally refers to small groups of houses or hamlets, but in many Caribbean contexts, especially in salsa and urban music, it's used to mean "housing projects" or "neighborhoods" where people gather and community life thrives.
In "Rumba De Esquina," Victor Manuelle uses it to call out to the community: "Oye, llamada a los caseríos / Una rumba se avecina" (Hey, call to the neighborhoods / A rumba is coming). It evokes a sense of local gathering and celebration, making it an interesting word that grounds the song in a specific cultural setting.
