Te quiero más is a Tango written by Orlando Ángel Perri, Miguel Megías and composed by Orlando Ángel Perri.
The lyrics of “Te quiero más” encapsulate a deep and enduring love that blossoms into a lifetime commitment. The narrator expresses a sense of wonder and confusion about the roots of this love, suggesting it might have been the partner’s voice that penetrated his soul, ultimately sparking a life-long passion. This reflects a common theme in tango music, where emotional expressions are intense and melodramatic, portraying love as an overwhelming and transformative experience.
The tango uses vivid imagery and metaphor to deepen the emotional resonance of the lyrics. Phrases like “en el alma una ilusión” (in the soul, an illusion) and “suave y tierna ensoñación” (soft and tender daydream) symbolize the blissful and almost dreamlike state of being in love. Furthermore, the continuous emphasis on the increasing depth of love, “Cada vez te quiero más” (Each time I love you more), symbolizes the ever-growing nature of true affection, suggesting a dynamic, evolving relationship rather than a static one.
Recorded in 1955, “Te quiero más” emerged during a period when tango music was transitioning from its Golden Age, characterized by large orchestras and dance-hall performances, to a more concentrated form focusing on vocalization and lyrical depth. Post-World War II Argentina was marked by political and social changes, and tango music often reflected the public’s sentiments – nostalgia, melancholy, and deep passions. The emotional depth of the song may have offered a form of escapism or emotional release, resonating with the audience’s own experiences of love and loss.
Orlando Ángel Perri, one of the creators of “Te quiero más,” was a tango musician known for his lyrical and emotive compositions that often explored themes of love and nostalgia.
