The CD ends with an arrangement of a timeless classic from Ecuador, that was already recorded by Maria in her previous CD, “Al Cantar Tus Flores”, with a combo band. This times, it appears with a full big-band charts, showing how pasillo and jazz can perfectly blend. We had the opportunity to play it on stage with the “Ecuadorian Jazz Orchestra”, directed by the great Marvin “Doc” Holladay.
lyrics
Faltándome tú
Mi vida se entristece
Las estrellas ya no brillan
El cielo se obscurece
Faltándome tú
Mi alma no se anima
El camino queda trunco
Faltándome tú
Quisera, que aunque
te encuentres muy lejos
te acuerdes de mí
Y sientas
Un vacío tan inmenso
Faltándote yo
Mi vida, regresa,
No puedo más vivir así
Faltándome tú...
