Contigo (Con Mariachi)

With you the mornings have another color. Contigo is the mariachi at its most direct: a woman who has found the person who changes everything.

About the Song

Contigo is a contemporary mariachi love ballad by Mariachi Hijas De Jalisco exploring the transformative power of companionship — the beloved as the person who changes the color of mornings and the quality of nights. The song belongs to the modern mariachi ballad tradition, where classic ensemble sound accompanies confessional, emotionally direct lyrics. Mariachi Hijas De Jalisco's all-female ensemble gives the familiar theme a fresh intimacy, centering a woman's voice in declarations of love that the mariachi tradition has historically delivered from masculine perspectives.

Meaning of the Song

Contigo is as simple as love gets, and as profound: with you, everything is different. The mornings have another color. The nights are worth living. Nothing makes sense without you. This is the mariachi at its most direct — no metaphors, no elaborate images, just the truth of what one person does to the whole quality of your life. Mariachi Hijas De Jalisco delivers it with the warmth that only comes from having meant every word.

Lyrics / Letra

De mi parte sigo recordando cuando tomaba tu mano
La vida se me está yendo pensando
Solo en ti
No puedo olvidarte
Y estas ganas me dan con ir a buscarte
Todo es tan rico si tú estás
Si estás aquí
No quiero vida si no es contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
No quiero vida si no es contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, yeah
No quiero vida si no es
(No quiero vida si no es)
Dicen que es grave
Hoy no te tengo y las palabras no me salen
Están presas en mi corazón y tú lo sabes
Yo te quiero a ti, no necesito a más nadie, yeah-yeah
Par de llamada' al celular y tú no me contestas
Mensajes al DM y no tengo respuestas
Me daño la mente por saber tú qué piensas
Tú eres para mí, tienes que darte cuenta
Lo que te pensé no se puede contar
La foto mental no la puedo borrar
¿Qué me hiciste tú que no puedo soltar?
Tengo presente cada lugar de ti
¿Cómo fue que antes no te vi?, y
No quiero vida si no es contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
No quiero vida si no es
(No quiero vida si no es)
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey (yo quiero estar contigo)
Contigo, con-, contigo, ey
No quiero vida si no

English Translation

With you the mornings have another color
with you the nights are worth living
with you everything that happens to me is wonderful
and without you nothing makes sense to me

With you I want to walk every road
with you I want to laugh and also cry
with you I discovered what it means to love
with you, only with you
