Cuanto tiempo hace que no te veo
Si me lo dices no me lo creo
Dime donde vas tan bonita y sola
Que te acompaño con mi persona
Dime tu, mi bien, donde te has metido
Da la impresión que te has escondido
Si vieses como me preguntaba
Que para verte cuánto faltaba … tu vé
No me dejes nunca jamás
No me dejes solo
Que solo, sólo se toma el café
Yo lo tomo contigo … mi amor
Nadie sabía por donde andabas
Hasta dormido yo te buscaba
A ver si en sueños te aparecías
Y ya “pá” siempre te quedarías
Dime tu, mi bien, por que te has marchado
A tí que bicho te habrá picado
Y ahora que has vuelto para quedarte
Es el momento de enamorarte … tu vé
estribillo
Cuanto tiempo hace que no te veo…le le le le le le
Dime tu, mi bien, donde te has metido… le le le le le le
Nadie sabía por donde andabas… le le le le le le
Dime tu, mi bien, por que te has marchado… le le le le le le
