Te Amo
Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear the pain in her voice
Then we danced underneath the candelabra, she takes the lead
That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around my waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gon' run away, but let me go"
I said, "Te amo", wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
Think it means, "I love you"
Don't it mean, "I love-"
Te amo, te amo, she's scared to breathe
I hold her hand, I got no choice, uh
Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water, I start to leave
She's begging me and asking why it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around my waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gon' run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry, without asking why
I said, "Te amo", wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
Think it means, "I love you"
Don't it mean, "I love you"
Listen, we can dance
But you gotta watch your hands
Watch me all night
I move under the light because I understand
That we all need love, and I'm not afraid
I feel the love but I don't feel that way, no
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around my waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gon' run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry, without asking why
I said, "Te amo", wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
Think it means, "I love you"
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
I think it means, "I love you", I love you
Te amo, te amo
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
The lyrics of Rihanna's "Te Amo" express a complicated love story between Rihanna and an unnamed woman, who confesses her feelings for the singer. At the beginning of the song, the woman tells Rihanna "Te amo, te amo," which means "I love you" in Spanish. However, Rihanna hears the pain in her voice and realizes that the woman is in love with her, which leads to an uncomfortable and confusing situation. The two dance together, but Rihanna sees that the woman wants more than just a dance partner; she wants a lover, and Rihanna is not able to provide that for her.
Throughout the song, Rihanna struggles with the woman's confession of love, telling her that she cannot reciprocate those feelings. However, the woman is persistent and begs Rihanna to stay with her. Rihanna is torn between her desire to make the woman happy and her own inability to love her back in the same way.
The bridge of the song brings a moment of clarity for Rihanna, as she acknowledges the importance of love but also recognizes that she cannot force herself to feel something she does not. Despite this realization, the song ends with the woman asking Rihanna again if "Te amo" means "I love you," and Rihanna ultimately accepting that it does, though it doesn't necessarily mean she feels the same way.

Te amo, te amo, she says to me
She says 'I love you, I love you'
I hear the pain in her voice
I sense the sadness in her tone
Then we danced underneath the candelabra, she takes the lead
We danced beneath the candlelight, she took control
That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over
That's when I knew it was finished
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I said no, and she wept 'I love you'
I told her, "I'm not gon' run away, but let me go"
I promised not to flee, but asked for liberation
My soul is awry, without asking why
My soul is disturbed, without reason
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around my waist
Then she said 'I love you', and embraced me
Don't it mean, "I love you"?
Doesn't it signify 'I love you'?
Te amo, te amo, she's scared to breathe
She's terrified and breathless
Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water, I start to leave
She dragged me to the shore, we danced in the waves, but I began to depart
She's begging me and asking why it's over
She's pleading and questioning why it's finished
Listen, we can dance
Listen, we can dance
But you gotta watch your hands
But be mindful of your touch
Watch me all night
Watch me dance all night
I move under the light because I understand
I dance under the light because I comprehend
That we all need love, and I'm not afraid
We all need love, and I am not scared
I feel the love but I don't feel that way, no
I feel the love, but I don't feel the same
I think it means, "I love you", I love you
I believe it means 'I love you', I love you

Te amo, te amo
She says to me
I hear the pain in her voice
Then we danced underneath the candelabra
She takes the lead
That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry
Without asking why, I said, "Te amo"
Wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
Te amo, te amo, she's scared to breathe
I hold her hand, I got no choice, uh
Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water
I start to leave
She's begging me and asking why it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"

Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
Listen, we can dance
But you gotta watch your hands
Watch me all night, I'm moving under the light because I understand
That we all need love
And I'm not afraid
To feel the love, but I don't feel that way
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry
Without asking why, I said, "Te amo"
Wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
I think it means I love you, I love you
Te amo, te amo
Don't it mean I love you?
