Great prosody between the lyric and the music….man I could hear so many Latin artists performing this! The guitar wok is incredibly tasteful and those emotional vocals can definitely melt the listener….super work sir!

Without Words (Sin Palabras)
By David Sanchez (ASCAP)
The night is still
Only the sound of my guitar
Quiet chords for my breaking heart
Without words
And like the whippoorwill
In the dark with his song so pure
These strings they will sing for her
Without words
Bridge:
She’s gone
Now she’s gone
And all that she left behind
Is the taste of her lips on mine
Me dejó sin palabras [She left me without words]
Instrumental interlude
I hear her voice
Just a dream in the evening breeze
Sweet haunting melodies
Without words
Outside, the raindrops fall
Like tears on my window pane
I play a sad refrain
Without words
Se fue [She’s gone]
Ya se fue [Now she’s gone]
Y las notas de mi canción [And the notes of my song]
Cantan las penas de mi corazón [Sing the sorrows of my heart]
Sin palabras [Without words]
The songs that that my heart must sing will be
Sin palabras

Nice! I like how you used so much imagery to paint “without words.” Cool feel. Like the bilingual aspect of it. Latin stuff isn’t my wheelhouse, so I can’t dig in too deep. But the sadness in the melody fits the sadness in the lyric. I like that you started off with the music stuff in the first and second verse, then went somewhere else (evening breeze, raindrops) in the 3rd and 4th verses, but brought it back to music with “I play a sad refrain.” Simple. Emotional, Uses imagery. Nicely done!
