[Intro – Accordion / Acoustic Guitar] Ay, corazón… It's been so long since I've seen you. Tanto tiempo sin verte… And I'm tired of this tristeza. Ay, mi amor… [Verse 1 – English / Intimate Male Vocal] It's been so long since I've seen your face I've been walking through an empty place Every morning feels the same Every evening calls your name I've grown tired of this sadness Tired of carrying all this pain I keep searching through the memories Hoping I can see you again [Verse 2 – Spanish / Warm, Expressive Delivery] Hace tiempo que no te veo Y me duele el corazón Voy buscando tus recuerdos En cada vieja canción Ya me cansa esta tristeza Ya no quiero estar así Si pudiera verte ahora Volvería a sonreír [Pre-Chorus – English and Spanish] Tell me, corazón, where did we go wrong? How can I be lonely when I've loved you all along? Dime, vida, ¿dónde estás? Ya no puedo esperar más. [Chorus – Full Tex-Mex Groove] Stop my tristeza, llévate el dolor Take away this sadness, bring back my amor Ya no quiero llorar, ya no quiero sufrir I just want to see you, I just want to be free Stop my tristeza, déjame vivir Let the sun come shining, bring you back to me Tanto tiempo sin verte, tanto tiempo sin ti Stop my tristeza… Come back to me. [Accordion Solo – Acoustic Guitar / Bass / Drums] [Verse 3 – English / Conversational Storytelling] I still remember how you laughed The little things we used to do The songs we sang along the highway The dreams we thought would all come true Now the years have kept on passing And the distance feels so wide But there's a place inside my heart Where your memory still resides [Verse 4 – Spanish / More Emotional] En las calles de mi pueblo Siento tu recuerdo andar Cada nota del acordeón Me hace volverte a buscar Estoy cansado de esta pena De esta noche sin final Quiero verte, quiero hablarte Quiero volver a comenzar [Pre-Chorus – Rising Harmonies] Tell me, corazón, can we begin again? Can we leave behind the sorrow, let the healing start within? Dime, amor, ¿me escucharás? ¿O te has olvidado ya? [Chorus – Full Band / Rich Harmonies] Stop my tristeza, llévate el dolor Take away this sadness, bring back my amor Ya no quiero llorar, ya no quiero sufrir I just want to see you, I just want to be free Stop my tristeza, déjame vivir Let the sun come shining, bring you back to me Tanto tiempo sin verte, tanto tiempo sin ti Stop my tristeza… Come back to me. [Bridge – Stripped Accordion / Intimate Vocal] Si pudiera verte un día If I could see you once again Te diría lo que siento I'd tell you where my heart has been Ya no quiero tanta pena I don't want to live this way Ven y escucha mi llamada Come and chase the blues away [Instrumental Break – Accordion / Electric Guitar] [Expressive accordion solo • bluesy electric guitar responses • steady Tejano rhythm • gradual emotional build] [Final Chorus – Full Ensemble / Bilingual Harmonies] Stop my tristeza, llévate el dolor Take away this sadness, bring back my amor Ya no quiero llorar, ya no quiero sufrir I just want to see you, I just want to be free Stop my tristeza, déjame vivir Que regrese la alegría, let the love return to me Tanto tiempo sin verte, tanto tiempo sin ti Stop my tristeza… ¡Vuelve a mí! [Outro – Accordion / Gentle Guitar Fade] Hace tiempo que no te veo… It's been so long since I've seen you… Ay, corazón… Stop my tristeza. Que se vaya esta tristeza… And let me smile again.
