Tú Escríbeme Lyrics in English by Los Rumberos
Puntualita means “right on time” or “very punctual,” with the diminutive ending -ita adding an affectionate, playful tone. In the song, it describes how her birthday message arrives every December 31 at exactly 11:59, making the word feel both precise and tender.
Los Rumberos’ “Tú Escríbeme” means “You, write to me.” The singer is speaking to someone he used to be with, and their connection now lives in messages. Every birthday at midnight, and every December 31 at 11:59, this person writes to him right on time. She also sends good wishes for each achievement, even though she cannot give him a hug. The line “Y aunque antes me dolía, hoy me da gusto que me pienses todavía” [“Although it used to hurt me, today I’m glad you still think of me”] shows a change: her messages once reopened the wound, but now he can receive them with affection.
The chorus is sweet and a little secretive: “Yo con tus mensajitos me abrazaré” [“I will hug myself with your little messages”]. He keeps those words “bajo la piel” [“under the skin”], as a private memory of what they shared. The lyrics mention full moons, sudden earthquakes, a sister’s wedding, and the possibility that he cannot see her, yet he still loves reading her messages. She might already be with someone else, and he says he has “other little eyes” watching him too, but neither person is harming anyone. His request stays simple and direct: “Aunque no estemos juntos, tú escríbeme” [“Even though we are not together, write to me”]. He will answer with love, honoring the beautiful part of their past without asking to return to it.
