Te Quiero

The song 'Te Quiero' by Amen is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the deep yearning for a connection that seems just out of reach. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply infatuated, to the point where the object of their affection becomes a constant thought in their daily life. The act of walking down the street and lighting a cigarette becomes a moment to reflect on the person they desire, indicating a sense of routine in their longing.

The metaphor of the loved one being like a rose that cannot be touched suggests both beauty and pain. The rose represents the allure and perfection of the person they love, while the inability to touch it symbolizes the barrier that keeps them apart. This could be due to circumstances, emotional distance, or perhaps the fear of ruining what they have by taking a step further. The repeated line 'Y solo quiero decirte una vez más que te quiero' (And I just want to tell you once more that I love you) emphasizes the singer's desperation and the courage it takes to confess their feelings, despite the uncertainty of the outcome.

The song also touches on the theme of love as an addiction, as seen when the singer compares the feeling of kissing their beloved to a drug they cannot quit. This intense emotional dependency highlights the vulnerability and the highs and lows associated with passionate love. The reference to flying like Superman when looking at the beloved indicates a feeling of euphoria and escape from reality, which is often sought in romantic experiences.
