Here is a tientos letra followed by a video of Aurora Vargas singing it:
Tientos
Como la piedra tú eres
por más cosas que te digo
yo digo que yo te quiero
tú dices que no me quieres
You're like a stone
no matter how many things I tell you
I tell you I love you
You tell me you don't love me
You can hear today's letra at about 2:45 in the video below:
You can hear her sing the same tangos she sings at 7:30 here, and you can hear her sing this letra at 1:40 and this one at 9:30.
You can hear Miguel Poveda sing today's letra here at 2:21. He actually sings it with this variation:
Como la piedra tú eres
por más cosas que te digo
yo digo que te camelo
tú dices que no me quieres
*Thank you Julie for the consultation on this translation!
EDIT: Thank you, Koki, for pointing out the mistaken word of piedra. This definitely changes the meaning!
I think you might also enjoy this tientos by Juanito Villar, Como La Roca Tú Eres.
