Though the group has gone through a revolving door of members in recent years amid controversy and finger-pointing, and the Kumbia Kings of today are vastly different than what originated in Corpus Christi, Texas over 10 years ago but A.B. and Cruz were always the soul of the group.
Unfortunately, A.B. Quintanilla, Irvin "PeeWee" Salinas, as well as Selena's widower Chris Pérez, also decided to leave the group due to "internal dissention" in 2006. Cruz Martínez kept Los Kumbia Kings but changed the name to Los Super Reyes for legal issues. In October 2009, A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martínez have solved their differences, and announced that the Kumbia Kings will reunite for a series of concerts lasting from late 2009 through early 2010.

Yo no sabia lo que era sufrir
No conocia la soledad
Hoy solamente tengo tristeza y miedo
No tengo fuerzas para aceptar
Me sobran las lagrimas para llorar
Ahora yo solo vivo tan solo de tu recuerdo
Tan injusta ha sido el cielo por no llevarme ami
[Sing:]
Yo no sabia lo que es el dolor
Entre nosotros todo era amor
En nuestra casa eras la luz del dia
Cada manana estabas aqui
Cada momento yo era feliz
Nunca pensaba que esto se acabaria
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo por no llevarme ami
Tan injusta fue la vida por enganarme asi
[Chorus:]
Llevame al...cielo, tiempo
Dejame ver la como la recuerdo en mis
suenos, tiempo
No me separes ni un solo momento de...
Llevame al...cielo, tiempo
Todo daria por verla de nuevo
Te pido tiempo
Tu la arrancaste y te la llevaste de mi
Yo no sabia lo que era sufrir
No conocia la soledad
Hoy solamente tengo tristeza y miedo
No tengo fuerzas para aceptar
Me sobran lagrimas para llorar
Ahora yo vivo tan solo de tu recuerdo
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo por no llevarme ami
Tan injusta fue la vida por enganarme asi
[Repeat Chorus]
Tan injusta ha sido el cielo por no llevarme ami
Tan injusta fue la vida por enganarme asi
[Repeat Chorus]

(ENGLISH VERSION)
[Talks:]
I do not know what it was suffering
Did not know loneliness
Today I have only sadness and fear
I have no strength to accept
I plenty of tears to mourn
Now I just live only in your memories
As the sky has been unfair not to take ami
Life was so unfair to mislead well
[Sing:]
I do not know what is the pain
It was all love between us
In our house you were the light of day
Each morning you were here
Each time I was happy
I never thought that this would end up
Tan has been unfair not to take the sky ami
Life was so unfair to mislead well
[Chorus:]
... Take the sky, weather
Let me see in my memory as the
dreams, time
I do not separate or a single moment of ...
... Take the sky, weather
Everything would see her again
I ask you time
Tu of the boot and you took my
I do not know what it was suffering
Did not know loneliness
Today I have only sadness and fear
I have no strength to accept
I plenty of tears to mourn
Now I live only for your memories
Tan has been unfair not to take the sky ami
Life was so unfair to mislead well
[Repeat Chorus]
As the sky has been unfair not to take ami
Life was so unfair to mislead well
