Mi Promesa (No Me Voy)

Intro)

(The sound of a bright acoustic Spanish guitar, followed by a sharp "cha-cha" beat on the cowbell)

Escucha, mi amor... listen close.

I’m not leaving. No me voy.

Verse 1

Now listen close, baby, I’ve got something to say

No empty suitcases, I’m not walking away.

Through the fuego and the rain, right by your side,

I’m the anchor you need in this rising tide.

Remember those rings? The secrets we told?

A flame in our hearts that will never grow cold.

Chorus

(Percussion swells: Congas and Timbales enter)

When the day finally comes and I look in your eyes,

That silver ring sparkles, no more goodbyes!

You’ll put mine on mine, and we’ll seal up the deal,

To work and to talk, para siempre we heal!

No, nothing can break us, our aim is too true,

’Cause my whole mundo, baby, is wrapped up in you!

Verse 2

I’ll make it crystal clear, don’t you have any doubt,

I’m planted right here, that’s what love is about.

I won’t run for the door when the lightning strikes,

Or leave you alone in the cold of the nights.

Even when you’re stubborn, or the temper gets high,

I’m a man of my word—yo me quedo, I’m by your side.

Bridge

(Music drops to a soft, rhythmic bass and guitar pluck)

I ain’t looking for "perfect," that’s a storybook lie,

I want "real" passion under this open sky.

I’m here to build up, not to tear it all down,

The rock that you found in this lonely old town.

Dámelo todo, I’m ready for the weight,

As long as we’re working, baby, we’re great!

Instrumentals

(Guitar Solo: High-energy Spanish "Tres" or soulful electric guitar with a Latin swing)

(Horns punch in: "Da-da-da-DA!")

Verse 3

But honey, háblame, please tell me your mind,

What’s chasing your spirit? What’s haunting behind?

Why do you fear I’ll be flying south?

Let the truth and the honradez come from your mouth.

I want to hold you, make you feel safe,

In the circle of my arms, our own little space.

Outro

(Slower, fading with a soft maraca shake)

Yeah, I’m right here, baby...

(No me muevo)

I’m not going nowhere...

(Tu pilar, siempre)

Just talk to me... dímelo...

(Final flourish of a Spanish guitar chord)
