Te Quiero
La Habitación Roja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es una forma de ahuyentar mi dolor,
no te encuentro y no sé dónde estoy,
te he esperado tanto, te he esperado tanto.
No he aprendido la lección,
lo he vuelto a hacer pero he vuelto a nacer,
te quiero y tengo miedo
Te quiero tanto,
te adoro y mi llanto
no me deja mirarte a la cara.
Lo he pensado tantas veces
y aunque tú no me quieras,
no lo haré, no, no me dejaré vencer.
Y no es algo premeditado,
me oprime el pecho y no me deja respirar.
Estoy locamente enamorado,
mi enfermedad dura ya muchos años.
Me hace ver cosas que nadie puede ver,
me hace escuchar lo que nadie puede escuchar,
pero a la hora de hablar
tan sólo puedo gritar.
Te quiero tanto,
te adoro y mi llanto
no me deja mirarte a la cara.
Lo he pensado tantas veces
y aunque tú no me quieras,
no lo haré, no, no me dejaré vencer.
Te odio y siento
que he perdido tanto tiempo,
y ahora tiemblo, estoy enfermo.
Lo he pensado tantas veces
y aunque tú no me quieras,
no te importará que yo quiera volar.
The lyrics of La Habitación Roja's song Te Quiero revolve around the theme of unrequited love. The opening lines, "No me canso de hablar de amor, es una forma de ahuyentar mi dolor" (I can't stop talking about love, it's a way to ward off my pain), suggest that the singer is using love as a coping mechanism to deal with his unfulfilled longing for someone. He has been waiting for this person for a long time, but they have not shown up yet. He admits that he hasn't learned his lesson and has fallen in love again despite the fear and uncertainty that comes with it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Te quiero tanto" (I love you so much) several times, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's feelings. He is deeply in love with this person and cannot help how he feels. However, his love is not reciprocated, and he can't bring himself to look at the person. He has considered giving up on love, but ultimately decides not to let himself be defeated.
The bridge of the song reveals the singer's conflicting emotions - he hates the fact that he has wasted so much time pining for someone who will never love him back, but he is also physically and emotionally affected by his love for them. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that even if the person doesn't love him back, he will still hold on to his feelings and won't be held back by their lack of reciprocation.
