Te amo corazón

Prince's 'Te amo corazón' is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the depths of love and the transformative power it holds. The song begins with a vivid image of a high-altitude flight, symbolizing the elevated and almost surreal nature of the love between the narrator and their beloved. The phrase '42,000 feet above the sea' sets the stage for a love that transcends ordinary experiences, suggesting that their connection is both rare and extraordinary. The reference to 'the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree' evokes a sense of timelessness and wisdom, hinting at a love that is both grounded and enlightened.

The chorus, 'Te amo corazón,' which translates to 'I love you, sweetheart,' is a simple yet profound declaration of love. Prince's use of Spanish adds a layer of intimacy and warmth, making the sentiment feel even more personal and heartfelt. The song's lyrics reveal a deep fear of losing this cherished connection, as expressed in the lines, 'I’m so scared of losing you / I really don’t know what I’d do.' This vulnerability underscores the intensity of the narrator's emotions and the irreplaceable nature of their beloved.

Throughout the song, Prince reflects on the transformative impact of love. The line 'Once when I first laid eyes on you / I saw heaven and earth anew' captures the idea that love has the power to change one's perception of the world. The narrator's eyes, once 'brown,' are now metaphorically 'no longer blue,' indicating a shift from sadness to joy. The song concludes with a note of gratitude, as the narrator expresses a desire to thank their beloved 'each and every day' for the profound changes they have brought into their life. 'Te amo corazón' is a beautiful ode to love's ability to elevate, transform, and inspire gratitude.
