Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching the sun going down tonight
Noone but you and I
Trying so hard to forget the truth
It's time to say goodbye

I don't know how baby I don't know when
I only know that I will see you again

Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor
Do you really know why I love you so
Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor
There's a paradise in your spanish eyes

I can't forget how you looked last night
I can't forget your smile
Why can't we stay when it feels so right
I don't want to say goodbye

Guilty of love baby that's how i plea
I don't anyone else that I need

Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor
Do you really know why I love you so
Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor
There's a paradise in your spanish eyes

What I feel inside when you whisper tender words to me
How can we deny, this is how it was supposed to be
Tell me to stay baby it's not too late
Over and over I know I can't wait
I can't wait

Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor
Do you really know why I love you so
Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor

There's a paradise in your spanish eyes
There's a paradise in your spanish eyes

Overall Meaning

In Fredrik Kempe's song "Mi Amor," the singer is saying goodbye to someone they love while simultaneously asserting their love for them. The sunset seems to represent the end of their relationship and it's just the two of them together in that moment. However, the singer cannot seem to forget their love and how they looked the last night they were together. They plead guilty to loving only this person and no one else. The refrain "Mi amor mi amor te quiero mi amor" translates to "My love, my love, I love you, my love" in English. The singer asks if their love knows why they love them so much, implying that it's almost impossible to fully describe their feelings. There is a paradise in the person's "Spanish eyes," which may suggest that this person's heritage and culture are attractive to the singer.

Despite the sadness of the upcoming goodbye, the singer feels an overwhelming connection to their lover. When the lover whispers tender words to them, it feels like it was always meant to be. The singer asks the person to let them stay, pleading with them not to let them go. They know they can't wait for this person, and they are hopeful that they will be reunited in the future.
