Te Quiero

Zacarías Ferreira's song 'Te Quiero' delves deep into the complexities of love and heartbreak. The lyrics express a profound emotional struggle, where the singer grapples with the pain caused by a past lover. Despite the hurt, he finds it impossible to let go of his feelings. This internal conflict is vividly portrayed in the lines, 'A veces yo quisiera odiarte pero no puedo' (Sometimes I wish I could hate you, but I can't). The singer acknowledges the lasting impact of the relationship, indicating that the emotional scars are still very much present and causing him sorrow.

The chorus, with its repetitive declaration of 'Te quiero' (I love you), underscores the depth and persistence of his love. This repetition emphasizes that his feelings are unwavering, regardless of the circumstances. The singer's devotion is further highlighted by his willingness to wait for his beloved, as he sings, 'Te quiero, te quiero eres mi amor y te voy a esperar' (I love you, I love you, you are my love and I will wait for you). This line encapsulates the theme of enduring love and the hope that one day they might reunite.

Ferreira's lyrics also touch on the idealization of the past relationship, referring to his lover as 'el angel de mis sueños' (the angel of my dreams). This metaphor suggests that the lover was once a source of immense joy and fulfillment. The song paints a picture of a love that, despite its end, continues to dominate the singer's heart and mind. The emotional intensity and vulnerability in 'Te Quiero' resonate with anyone who has experienced the lingering effects of a deep, unforgotten love.
