She was born in the Villa Crespo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the daughter of Iván Mihanovich a polo player and Mónica Cahen D'Anvers, a famous journalist and TV anchorperson. She inherited from her paternal grandfather her passion for jazz music. After completing high school, she studied music at the Universidad Católica Argentina and, since March 1976, also theater at the Conservatorio de Arte Dramático.
Her singing début was at "La Ciudad" pub on May 20, 1976. While working the pub circuit, she met fellow musician and composers Alejandro Lerner, Marilina Ross, Celeste Carballo, Horacio Fontova and Ruben Rada, whose songs she went on to include in her repertoire. She met her first producer, Ricardo Kleinman, after a show at the Universidad de Belgrano. On October 1982, she became the first female soloist holding a show at Obras, widely known as the Argentine "Rock Cathedral". In 1986 she won the "Antorcha de Plata" at the Viña del Mar Song Festival in Chile.
The Legislative Chamber of Buenos Aires named her "Distinguished Personality of the Culture of the City" to honor her thirty years long career. As an actress, she starred in the "Vulnerables" TV series (1999) about a self healing therapy group and other movies and TV programs.
Te Quiero
Sandra Mihanovich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos,
Somos mucho más que dos.
Tus manos son mi caricia
Mis acordes cotidianos.
Te quiera por que tus manos
Trabajan por la justicia.
Si te quiero es por que sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos,
Somos mucho más que dos.
Tus ojos son mi conjuro
Contra la mala jornada.
Te quiero por tu mirada
Que mira y siembra justicia,
Tu boca que es tuya y mía,
Tu boca no se equivoca.
Te quiero por que tu boca
Sabe gritar rebeldía.
Si te quiero es por que sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos,
Somos mucho más que dos.
Y por tu rostro sincero
Y tu paso vagabundo,
Y tu llanto por el mundo
Porque sos pueblo te quiero.
Y por que el amor no es aureola
Ni cándida moraleja.
Y por que somos pareja
Que sabe que no está sola.
Te quiero en mi paraíso
Es decir que en mi país
La gente viva feliz
Aunque no tenga permiso
Si te quiero es por que sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos,
Somos mucho más que dos.
The lyrics of Sandra Mihanovich's "Te Quiero" express the reasons why the singer loves her partner so deeply. She describes him as her love, partner, and everything.

It is two individuals who know they are not alone and who are willing to be vulnerable and real with each other. The singer expresses her desire for her partner to be a part of her paradise, where people can live happily, even if they don't have permission. Overall, the song is a celebration of love and partnership that goes beyond physical attraction and material possessions.
