Por No Estar Con Tu Amor
An Original Song by H.A. Bustos

A Song of Passion, Absence, and Devotion
“Por No Estar Con Tu Amor” is a deeply emotional piece that speaks to the universal ache of longing. Written by H. A. Bustos, this original Spanish-language ballad explores the bittersweet tension between love and loss, between desire and distance.
With its poetic imagery and aching honesty, this song is made for interpretation. Whether it's sung as a slow-burning bachata, a stripped-down folk lament, or a genre-bending experiment, the core emotion remains: the pain of not being with the one you love.
This is not just a song, it's a confession, a prayer, a cry in the night.
Suggested Style
This song was originally imagined as a bachata, with its romantic rhythm and intimate emotionality. But we encourage all musicians to explore it in their own voice. Whether you're a rapper, producer, guitarist, or singer-songwriter, this is YOUR canvas!
Suggested chord progression (for verses and chorus): Am – G – F – E
Guitarists might begin with arpeggios for a tender tone, shifting to rhythmic strums or muted hits in the chorus.

Por No Estar Con Tu Amor

Verso 1
Cuando bailaba contigo,
El mundo entero se detenía.
Tus ojos me llenaron de un fuego
Que me quemaba y me encendía.
Encontré en tus brazos divinos
Un refugio eterno,
Y en tus besos, un abismo.
Por que
Sin tus piernas entre las mías
Paso mis noches perdidas
Por no estar con tu amor.
(Repeat)
Coro
E-res la Rei-na
De mis pasiones,
De mis amores,
Y de mi corazón.
E-res la Rei-na
De mis dolores,
De mis rencores,
Y de mi desesperación.
Verso 2
Tus palabras son flechas
Que me hieren y me sanan,
Como una corona de espinas.
Cuando te pierdo, me pierdo,
Y en tu ausencia me ahogo
En lágrimas marinas.
(Repeat chorus)
Verso 3
Aunque me duela, aunque me hunda,
Tu amor es mi cruz,
Pero también mi cuna.
Y aunque duela tu ausencia,
Como un tatuaje invisible,
Te llevo en mi piel.
(Repeat chorus and outro)
