Te amo tanto
Javiera Parra Lyrics

The lyrics to Javiera Parra's song "Te Amo Tanto" are emotional and enigmatic, exploring the complexities of love and loss through poetic language. The song begins with the singer describing finding someone without their feet, their waist turned around, and realizing that they loved this person but didn't understand them. The imagery of the person's hands being cold and their head being inflamed suggests a sense of disconnection, while their lips turning purple and skin falling off creates a more visceral and unsettling atmosphere. Despite this, the singer continues to proclaim their love for this person, repeating the phrase "te amo tanto" (I love you so much) throughout the song.

The chorus is particularly impactful, as it contrasts the intensity of the singer's love with the distance between them and the person they love: "te amo tanto aunque no me mires, te amo tanto aunque no respires" (I love you so much even if you don't look at me, I love you so much even if you don't breathe). The repetition of the phrase "te amo tanto" and the inclusion of the word "aunque" (even if) highlights the singer's devotion, but also implies a sense of futility or unrequited love.

The final lines of the song contain a suggestion of letting go, with the singer saying "me puedo quedar con tu alma, ojalá" (I can stay with your soul, hopefully), acknowledging the difficulty of loving someone who is gone. The song ends with a simple "la la la" melody, suggesting a continuation of the emotions expressed throughout the song.
