En Barranquilla Me Quedo
Joe Arroyo
I Stay in Barranquilla
From the Caribbean emerges
Beautiful, charming
With sea and river
A great society
Beautiful Barranquilla
I sing to you now
With gratitude and love
From the singer to the adored town
To the nobility and feeling
Of its welcoming people
To my little homeland
That supported me
Your name to me means
The hope of life
I arrived to you when I was
Fourteen years old
I made my decision
Let everyone know
That in Barranquilla I stay
I stay in Barranquilla
I stay in Barranquilla
(I stay in Barranquilla)
I stay in Barranquilla
I stay I stay I stay I stay I stay
Living like a local
I stay in Barranquilla
I swear and I'm not a troublemaker, baby
I stay in Barranquilla
I stay in the sandy city
I stay in Barranquilla
The best Antillean land
Where the people are so pleasant
Golden gate of salsa
For my God, I swear by it
Whoever degrades this race
And if they put me in prison
Barranquilla will get me out
I stay in Barranquilla
I stay on solid ground
I stay in Barranquilla
I proclaim it because I love you, woman
I stay in Barranquilla
I stay in the sandy city
I stay in Barranquilla
To dear Barranquilla, I bring this mambo
I stay in Barranquilla, I stay to enjoy
I stay in Barranquilla, tasty and nothing else
I stay in Barranquilla, I stay to enjoy
For its women, how beautiful they are, its women
I stay in Barranquilla, I stay to enjoy
Beautiful and tropical land
I stay in Barranquilla, I stay to enjoy
I swear I stay, I stay to enjoy
