Te Amo (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro (Shantty)]
In the intro, the singer apologizes for past harsh words, explaining that when they said they hated the person, it was because they were hurt by how deeply they loved. Despite giving everything to the relationship, it wasn’t enough, and the love didn’t bring the peace they hoped for. The singer wishes the other person finds peace, even if it wasn’t with them.

[Chorus (Shantty & Jay Wheeler)]
The chorus expresses deep love and the pain of separation. The singer confesses they wanted to be with the person all the time, but now they’ve become strangers to each other. They traded a chance at lasting happiness for a future of emptiness. Even though it hurts that the person is now just a memory, the singer won’t force them to stay or return, showing acceptance of the end.

[Verse 1 (Jay Wheeler)]
In this verse, the singer reflects on how the person was once a beautiful part of their past, but now the present feels sad without them. The fear of seeing someone replace them is overwhelming, and they wish they hadn’t let go so easily. The singer admits that although people say love doesn’t kill, this breakup has left them broken. Even though the relationship is over, they still love the person, even though they’re moving on.

[Chorus (Jay Wheeler & Shantty)]

The singer won’t make the person stay but will always love them.

[Verse 2 (Shantty)]
In this verse, the singer feels like they’re suffocating without the person. Every breath and every dream brings back memories, and it feels as though they’re dying inside, even though they’re still alive. They tell the person that if they want to see them again, they can find the memories of their love tucked away, but the love is no longer the same. The singer acknowledges that the relationship is truly over and that the love they once had is no longer present.
