Te Quiero Tanto
Los Acosta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te quiero tal y como eres
Con todos tus defectos
Y todas esas dudas sobre mí.
Te quiero como nadie te ha querido
Te quiero como el niño que hay en mí
Te quiero tanto
Que sólo entre tus brazos soy capaz
De sentir amor. hay sólo una razón:

Te quiero y es todo lo que puedo comprender
Te quiero tanto
Te busco en la penumbra triste y gris
De mi habitación
Y sueño con tener tu corazón.
Yo sé que soy una moneda
Que va de mano en mano
Sin un lugar seguro donde estar
Pero es que mi locura es otra cosa
Es extender mis alas y volar
Te quiero tanto
Que todo el día paso, sin querer,
Hablando de ti. te sueño junto a mí.
Te quiero y espero que me ayudes a vivir.
Te quiero tanto,
Te busco en la penumbra triste y gris
De mi habitación
Y sueño con tener tu corazón.
Te quiero
Y espero que me ayudes a vivir.
Te quiero tanto,
Te busco en la penumbra triste y gris

De mi habitación
Y sueño con tener tu corazón.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Acosta's song Te Quiero Tanto express a deep and unconditional love for someone despite their flaws and doubts. The singer is head-over-heels in love, as they compare their feelings to those of a child. The person they love is like a light in the darkness of their life, and they constantly think and dream about them. The singer acknowledges that they may not have a secure place in the other person's life, but their love is their own kind of madness, one that allows them to soar like a bird. The chorus repeats that the person is loved so much that being in their embrace is the only place the singer can truly feel love. They conclude by asking for assistance in living and hoping for a chance to hold the other person's heart.

The song is notable for its simple yet powerful expression of love, and its message that love can exist in spite of flaws and doubts. The use of the metaphor of a child's love is particularly effective, emphasizing the pure and innocent nature of the singer's feelings. The song also touches on the theme of insecurity, as the singer acknowledges that they may not have a secure place in the other person's life, adding a sense of vulnerability to the lyrics. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings and the importance of the other person in their life.
